Brian Kelly's dance moves not enough as LSU loses TE prospect to Alabama
LSU head coach Brian Kelly's dance moves might be entertaining, but they weren't enough to deliver the commitment of tight end prospect Danny Lewis.
The duo went viral during Lewis' January trip to LSU thanks to a video of the new Tigers coach showing off some awkward moves while standing behind the Louisiana high school standout.

But the new fame wasn't enough to sway Lewis, who announced his commitment to Alabama on Wednesday. The 6-foot-4, 230-pounder previously committed to Cincinnati before reopening his recruitment early in 2022.
Despite Lewis' decision, the dance routine hasn't been a total strikeout for Kelly. The 60-year-old former Notre Dame frontman's first dancing video at LSU featured the nation's No. 3 quarterback, Walker Howard, who will play for the Tigers next season.
