2022 WR Prospect Decoldest Crawford Commits to LSU

The LSU Tigers have secured their second commitment in the Class of 2022, landing wide receiver Decoldest Crawford.

Crawford, who doesn't have a ranking or star designation in 247Sports.com's Composite Rankings, joins 4-star safety Bryce Anderson as the first two entries in LSU's 2022 recruiting class.

The Green Oaks (Shreveport, Louisiana) wideout visited Baton Rouge over the weekend, per Shea Dixon of 247Sports.com, where he received a verbal offer. It didn't take him long to settle on the Tigers ahead of Washington State, Southern Miss and Southern University.

"It was very good," Crawford said of his visit to the school. "They have the best games. And the offense has a spread that I like."

Crawford is entering his second season of high school football after registering 18 catches for 203 yards and three touchdowns as a freshman. And he already went viral in August given his unique first name:

"My mom came up with my name," he told Jordan James of 247Sports. "She named me this because she knew I would be the best athlete out of everyone in the family."

"I love the fame everyone's giving me on social media," he added at the time. "Keep it going."

The hope at LSU is that Crawford will make a bigger name for himself on the field in a few years. The No. 2 Tigers have been nailing it from a recruiting standpoint. The 2020 class is ranked No. 2 in the nation by 247Sports and is highlighted by a trio of 5-star additions (tight end Arik Gilbert, cornerback Elias Ricks and wideout Rakim Jarrett). 

The team also nabbed 4-star defensive end Landyn Watson in the Class of 2021. The Tigers are on the rise under Ed Orgeron.
