Rivals unveiled its updated top 100 for 2020 on Tuesday and it features a handful of LSU commits and targets making moves, including a new No. 1 in the state of Louisiana.

The Tigers came into the updates with the No. 1 ranked overall class, just a few points ahead of rival Alabama.

Koy Moore is now the No. 1 ranked prospect in Louisiana, as the Rummel prospect vaulted a handful of prospects initially ranked ahead of him.

Elias Ricks rises:

Ricks comes in at No. 4 overall in the country and is now the top rated cornerback on Rivals. This comes after LSU signed Derek Stingley in 2019, the No 1 overall ranked prospect, the first time Rivals elected to give that position to a cornerback.


Built Ford tough:

LSU commit Courtland Ford checks in at No. 64 overall and is now ranked as the No. 9 rated offensive tackle in the country, which is one spot lower than his previous ranking.

Boutte checking in:

Kayshon Boutte checks in at No. 82 overall and is currently the No. 3 ranked player in the state of Louisiana.

Maxed out:

LSU quarterback commit Max Johnson saw his ranking slide a tad, now ranked as the No. 85 overall prospect and No. 6 ranked pocket passer.

Turner still top 100:

Wide receiver Darin Turner slid down seven spots nationally, but checks in at a respectable No. 92 overall in the country, giving LSU two top 100 receivers in Turner and Kayshon Boutte.
