After nearly three years of being one of the most heavily recruited defensive back prospects in the country, Derrick Davis Jr. has finally made a decision.
Davis, the nation's No. 2 safety and No. 53 overall player out of Pittsburgh's Gateway High School, has committed to LSU, choosing the Tigers over Ohio State and Penn State.
For several months and in the days leading up to his announcement on Saturday, most believed this was coming down to a battle between the two Big Ten schools. But after his visit to Columbus for the Buckeye Bash – a visit that had some of Ohio State's 2021 commits feeling good about their chances with Davis and had the safety prospect himself feeling comfortable with the Buckeyes – Davis and his family traveled to Baton Rouge for a visit the following weekend.
