LSU landed its 17th verbal pledge late Friday night when 4-star Atlanta, Georgia, cornerback Nathaniel Wiggins announced his commitment.

The 6-foot-2, 170-pound defender is ranked as the nation’s No. 8 cornerback and the state of Georgia’s No. 13 overall prospect for the class of 2021, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.

He shared his commitment via Twitter:

Wiggins became the Tigers first cornerback commitment for the recruiting class and the third commitment from the state of Georgia this recruiting cycle, joining 3-star safety Khari Gee and 4-star outside linebacker Zavier Carter.

For Westlake High School, Wiggins is a 2-way player at defensive back and wide receiver. He has the perfect blend of size at 6-foot-2 and athleticism to become an elite college cornerback for Corey Raymond, Bo Pelini and Ed Orgeron.
