On3 5-star OT Weston Davis flips commitment from Texas A&M to LSU

Beaumont (Texas) United offensive tackle Weston Davis has flipped his commitment from Texas A&M to LSU. He was committed to the Aggies since June 26.

Davis is the No. 92 overall prospect and No. 6 offensive tackle in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. On3 ranks Davis significantly higher than other recruiting services, as he checks in the latest On300 as a five-star and the No. 18 recruit.

LSU was one of Davis’ finalists upon his original pledge to Texas A&M back in the summer. His final official visit came in Baton Rouge just three days before his decision and the Tigers never wavered in their pursuit.

“At 6-foot-6, 280-pounds with high-end length, Davis is one of the more high upside players at the position in the cycle,” On3’s Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles power wrote of Davis in September. “The Beaumont (Texas) United standout was a basketball-first athlete prior to picking up football midway through his high school career. Davis has shown noticeable strides as a senior. He’s a big-framed, easy mover and plays with a nasty streak.”

Davis has an On3 NIL Valuation of $118K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
