He told On3’s Billy Embody in August that he is “all LSU.”
“It’s the culture up there,” Austin told Embody. “I feel love every time I’m up there so I really like that. We (cornerbacks coach Robert Steeples and defensive analyst Bobby Barham) talk all the time. I saw all the recruits come in for Bayou Splash and we got to bond.”
Austin has an On3 NIL Valuation of $141K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. 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.

Austin has shown some improved speed this spring, running 10.82 seconds in the 100 meters. He had a strong junior season and really excelled as a return man.
