The LSU Tigers’ 2019 recruiting class is one of the nation’s best, but it took a big hit on Tuesday night.

That’s because 4-star CB Marcus Banks has decided to decommit from the school and reopen his recruitment.

Banks, a Houston native, announced his decision via Twitter on Tuesday night, as you can see below:

After Banks’s decommitment, the LSU 2019 class now has 19 players and is currently rated No. 7 in the nation and No. 4 in the SEC, per 247Sports.
