Easton Royal's Recruitment Heats Up

0:00On April 29, Easton Royal, the number one wide receiver and number four overall prospect, pledged to Texas last November from his New Orleans high, school. Despite foot 11, 200 pound 5 star talent has stuck with the long horns for almost five months now, but his recruitment stays wide. Open. LSU jumped in quick by hiring Lane Kiffin as head coach the day after Royal committed, and they've been all over him since. The Tigers want to keep Louisiana's top guy at home and haven't let up for a second. Royal just wrapped a two-day visit to Baton Rouge with his mom. His second trip there this month. Folks close to recruiting say LSU made big moves and is now neck and neck with Texas in the race. He's not just eyeing LSU though. Royal head up Florida, Ole Miss and Tennessee this spring, with official visits lined up soon that could shake things up. Texas sits 12th in team recruiting rankings, boosted by Royal at the top of the class. LSU ranks 10th after flipping another four star receiver recently, so expect this battle to
