LSU got exactly what it wished for on Christmas.

Elias Ricks, the top cornerback recruit in the 2020 class, announced Tuesday that he's committed to attend LSU.

Ricks plays for Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif. He's the Tigers' ninth commit in a 2020 class that ranks second in the SEC, according to 247 Sports.

The 6-foot-2, 180-pound corner is ranked as the 16th-best recruit in the 2020 class by ESPN Junior 300 and is the top-rated defensive back in his class.

Ricks chose LSU over Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and USC, among the many other schools that were interested in him, according to ESPN.
