LSU Football Adds Momentum to 2023 Recruiting Class with Commitment from Four-Star DB Ryan Yaites
LSU football continued to build an impressive 2023 recruiting class with the recent commitment of four-star defensive back Ryan Yaites. The Denton (Texas) Guyer standout announced his pledge to the Tigers, adding to an already strong group of incoming talent under head coach Brian Kelly.
Yaites, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound defensive back, is ranked among the top safeties in the nation. His combination of size, speed, and ball-hawking ability makes him a valuable addition to LSU’s secondary. He chose the Tigers over offers from top programs such as Alabama, Texas, and Oklahoma, solidifying LSU’s standing as a major recruiting force in the SEC.
With Yaites on board, LSU’s 2023 recruiting class continues to gain momentum. The Tigers have been making significant strides in rebuilding their defense, and Yaites’ versatility as both a safety and cornerback adds much-needed depth. His commitment follows a series of strong additions, further strengthening LSU’s defensive outlook for the future.
Under Kelly, the Tigers have focused on securing elite talent from both Louisiana and key out-of-state pipelines like Texas. Yaites’ decision signals that LSU remains a top destination for defensive playmakers looking to develop and compete at the highest level.
As LSU pushes forward in the 2023 cycle, the addition of Yaites serves as another statement that the Tigers are building a class capable of contending in the ultra-competitive SEC. With his athleticism and skill set, Yaites is poised to make an impact in Baton Rouge, continuing LSU’s tradition of producing top-tier defensive backs.
