Houston Dekaney cornerback Marcus Banks arrived in Baton Rouge (La.) for his official visit as a Texas A&M lean and left as an LSU commit.
Once considered a priority prospect for Texas, Banks’ recruitment is one that seemed to get away from the Longhorns throughout the past several weeks. Banks originally had a commitment date set for March 3, and entering the month, the Longhorns appeared to have a slight edge over LSU. However, the Tigers began surging during a March 3 Junior Day visit, and rather than announcing his commitment, Banks extended his decision timeline.
In the weeks since, Banks has made a pair of visits to Texas A&M — one unofficially and another on an official basis on April 27.
