A highly-rated Mississippi wideout has decided to back off his pledge to the in-state Bulldogs and instead commit to rival LSU.
Provine WR Deion Smith announced his flip on Sunday night via his Twitter account. The Jackson native is listed at over 6-1, 172 pounds and rated the No. 2 Mississippi product, No. 16 wide receiver and No. 90 prospect overall nationally for the 2021 class on the 247Sports Composite.
Smith committed to the Bulldogs back on April 3, 2019. He thanked MSU coach Joe Moorhead in the note he posted to Twitter via screenshot:
After the flip, LSU has three early commitments for 2021 while MSU has two pledges.
