McKinstry is ranked as the nation’s No. 2 cornerback and the state of Alabama’s top overall prospect for the class of 2021, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings. He’s ranked as the nation’s No. 23 overall player, too.
Interestingly, McKinstry wants to play both football and basketball in college, something that all 3 SEC finalists have pitched to the coveted athlete.
You can check out McKinstry’s highlights below:
This should come down to Auburn vs Alabama
But out of the three only LSU is DBU. And he will get to line up with the #1 CB’s in the the last two classes.
That’s a very good point. Alabama churns out first round DBs, but doesn’t have a dumb nickname to go along with it, and recruits notice these things.
Yes, LSU is DBU, but it seems he’s much higher on Alabama in Auburn. Who knows though.
He lives fairly close to both Alabama and Auburn. They should be the favorites.
Alabama does an outstanding job producing DBs, no question. Unless Saban retires, then who knows?
Self proclaimed “DBU”…Shall we check the NFL rosters and see which school has the most Defensive Backs on a roster?…Asking for a friend
Check the all pro list while you are at it.
@King Nola: And loose to Bama 9 out of 10 times if he played that long there.
I’d love to get this guy into DBU but I have a feeling he’ll be in the state of Alabama. plus we are loaded at DB for now
Isn’t something when an elite player is from a state with two powerhouse programs, one that’s arguably the best dynasty in the history of the game being coached by the best to ever coach college football! Yet LSU still finds itself in the mix with the two Iron Bowl squads and LSU is probably as likely to land the 5* as any of the 3 mentioned. If it “did/does” soon get narrowed down to only two teams just expect LSU/Alabama to be those two. Auburn, nothing against Auburn but they’ve played 2nd fiddle to Bama in that state forever really. The only championship Auburn has produced to my knowledge was the year of Cam Newton (still a controversial discussion, most admit something was paid/given to him or family, no one talks about it.) In the meantime just from the last 20 years I know LSU won 3 of 4 Championships, Auburn won 1 of 1, Alabama won what, 5 of 6 maybe 7 in that span. Just from the who’s who, the SEC is the cream of the crop and Alabama still is the king of the mountain when talking “sustained winning culture” and LSU is sort of known to be somewhere in between Auburn and Alabama when talking about who’s the closest to Alabama with Auburn maybe there like Florida is when comparing the east and Georgia is still the best in the east with only Florida to challenge. Auburn and aTm are a much closer example of which programs are consistently sending kids to the NFL, winning the conference or winning a national championship. It’s already down to two, as long as this post is it’s already eliminated Auburn from this kids top 3 and now back to the real heavy hitters, Alabama and LSU is the honest, best answer to where he lands but Auburn has probably under a 10% with Alabama around 50% and LSU holding strong at 40% in my own assessment. DBU or LBU or NFLSU or whatever, nicknames aside. This one isn’t going to play for a cupcake, that’s why it’s Bama/LSU and no one else here!
Bama commits more players from Louisiana than LSU does from Bama. Tell me you’re not one of these trolls like King Negan (UGA fan) that is long winded and talks total gibberish.
Sure looks like it’s a”King-Wannabee”.
Well, Saban has strong recruiting ties in Louisiana, so of course he uses them. LSU doesn’t have an ex-Alabama HC on their staff so there’s an advantage to bama there.
Yep…Saban loves to raid the state of LA for their players. He has gotten some great ones from over there!
The kid use to play for Pat Nix and is good friends with Bo. He’s been to Auburn more than any other school and they are recruiting him the heaviest of the three. Before Pat switched jobs, I would have said he was Auburn bound. Auburn has never landed a 5* DB and his current coach now is a former Bama player. I don’t think there’s a chance he ends up at LSU. 60% Bama…35% Auburn…5% LSU
Don’t get too down on Auburn. My gut feeling is Alabama but Auburn is still very much in contention. 40% Alabama, 40% Auburn, 20% LSU
I think the consensus is LSU is third right now, and no one really denies it.
Yeah this kid isnt going to LSU.
Chances are low
This is possibly the worst take I’ve ever seen, and that’s not hyperbole. Neither the FBI nor the NCAA found ANY evidence whatsoever of Cam getting paid to play at Auburn. Auburn is 1 of 2 when it comes to National Championships in the past decade. In the past 20 years, Auburn has won 3 SEC championships and has won the west 8 times. Additionally, Auburn officially claims 2 national championships, and has 3 additional unclaimed nc’s.
I could continue, but there’s no point, you’re clearly an uninformed LSU homer.
To be fair, everyone’s a homer. Also, the information I’ve read is that not enough evidence was found to indict, but clearly Cam was always available to the highest bidder, and there was plenty of evidence of that.
I’ve heard he favors Auburn the most, so who knows?
Good grief man,didn’t realize you were gonna write a book on this…But you act like LSU has been winning Natl Titles consistently for the last decade…You’ve got ONE!!!…Congrats on a fantastic year and a well deserved natl title, but let’s see if yall can stay there for more than a year before you put LSU in the upper echelon.
LSU has won three so far this century. That’s second most in the country. Let’s not try and act like LSU is just a flash in the pan.
I agree. A blind dog will eventually find a bone if he tries long enough. LSU finally found a bone last season, aubrun found a bone in 2010, georgia 1980. The difference is being able to sustain success.
Moronic
I’m not gonna get into the Bama-LSU-AU discussion but in the time frame you mention ( 20 years) then in the East “Georgia is still the best” is inaccurate. In the last 20 years Florida has dominated the East. Georgia has only been better in the last 3 years
Um, Auburn has played for two natties and a couple conference titles just in the last decade. More than LSU can say.
Come to Tuscaloosa. Roll Tide !
It comes down to which program offers more for a NFL Career and development for the NFL, having said that Bama’ or LSU
