Cam Robinson, a five-star offensive tackle from West Monroe High School, chose to join Alabama over LSU in a ceremony at the school Wednesday afternoon.
Robinson was the top-ranked offensive tackle in his class, while being the No. 3 overall player, according to ESPN rankings. He will join fellow Louisiana wide receiver Cameron Sims at Alabama, following what has become a yearly occurrence of top Louisiana recruits taking the trip to Tuscaloosa.
During the ceremony, Robinson hinted Sims commitment to Alabama influenced his decision to chose crimson over the purple and gold.
While LSU lost Robinson, several top Louisiana recruits are still undecided on their future — including the consensus best player in the nation, St. Augustine running back Leonard Fournette.
Fellow Louisiana safety prospect Hootie Jones — the No. 2 ranked safety in the nation — was present for Robinson’s commitment.
LSU has already secured verbal commitments from 14 total players for the 2014 recruiting class, nine of which are members of the ESPN top 300.
