Five-Star 295-Pound Offensive Guard Donovan Jackson Flips Commitment to LSU Tigers After Rejecting Tennessee, Bulldogs

Donovan Jackson sat at the table, his hands clasped together as he stared at the three hats in front of him—Tennessee, Georgia, and LSU. Cameras flashed, family members whispered, and fans across the country tuned in to see where the nation’s top offensive guard would land.

Just a week ago, Jackson had been considered a lock for Georgia, and Tennessee had made a late push, offering everything from NIL incentives to promises of early playing time. But something about LSU had stuck with him—something more than just football.

“First, I want to thank God, my family, and my coaches for helping me through this process,” Jackson said, his deep voice steady but laced with nerves. “This decision wasn’t easy, but after a lot of prayer and long talks with my loved ones, I’ve decided to flip my commitment and play my college football at Louisiana State University.”

Gasps rippled through the crowd before cheers erupted. Jackson grabbed the purple-and-gold hat, pulling it onto his head as his mother wiped away tears. LSU head coach Brian Kelly had worked relentlessly to secure Jackson’s signature, emphasizing the Tigers’ tradition of dominant offensive line play and their ability to prepare players for the NFL.

In the end, it wasn’t just about facilities, NIL deals, or even playing time—it was about family. Jackson had built a bond with LSU’s staff and current players that felt different. The bayou had called him home.

As he posed for photos, Jackson knew he’d made the right choice. The SEC battles ahead would be tough, but he was ready to

be a Tiger.
