The LSU Tigers, burdened by swirling speculation around head coach Les Miles, lost a prized prospect Monday night when Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks decommitted.
The 4-star recruit, pledged to LSU since spring 2014, announced his decision on Twitter.
"For about a month now I have been talking with LSU about decommitting," he wrote. "I have given this process a lot of thought and feel that [it's] only best for me to make my decommitment public."
Franks, a 6'5", 220-pound passer from Wakulla High School, was an early foundational member of a 2016 Tigers class rated No.
