Sorry, Oklahoma. Jacob Phillips is headed to LSU.

The four-star inside linebacker flipped his commitment Thursday from the Sooners to the Tigers, delivering a huge blow to Oklahoma's recruiting class and a major boost to LSU's.

Phillips, ranked third among inside linebackers and 141st overall on the ESPN 300, had been committed to Oklahoma since October.

The Nashville, Tenn., native has already used his five official visits, taking trips to Oklahoma, Oregon, Notre Dame, Alabama, and Texas A&M.
