Ed Orgeron announces 2019 signee Donte Starks won’t arrive in time for training camp
Published:
National Signing Day may have been months ago but LSU is still awaiting two final players from the program’s 2019 signing class to show up to campus.
The Tigers will have to keep waiting for in-state linebacker Donte Starks, Ed Orgeron revealed on Wednesday. While speaking at the Baton Rouge Rotary Club, the LSU coach revealed that Starks will not arrive in time for camp, according to Scott Rabalais of The Advocate.
The 6-foot-1, 225-pound John Ehret High School product was rated as a four-star prospect and the No. 10 inside linebacker in the nation by 247Sports Composite Rankings. The 2019 Under Armour All-American picked LSU over scholarship offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Florida and Clemson, among others.
If Starks does not arrive, the Tigers will be down to 24 enrollees for the 2019 recruiting cycle. LSU is still awaiting the arrival of Arizona lineman Soni Fonua. The rest of the 25-man signing class has arrived in Baton Rouge.
