LSU Target Trey Amos Reveals Transfer Destination

Amos makes his decision after a weekend visit, Tigers still making moves.

Louisiana transfer cornerback Trey Amos has made his decision. The coveted LSU target has committed to Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide after a visit to Tuscaloosa on Sunday.

After spending time with the defensive backs coach over a two-day period, Amos ultimately felt at home, opting to make his decision rather quickly.

Amos took an unofficial visit to LSU on Friday night where his former Ragin’ Cajuns teammate Kyren Lacy hosted him. It was one filled with photoshoots, campus tours, scenes from Death Valley and more as the former teammates soaked in the visit.

Lacy has handled duties as a big-time recruiter for the Tigers as he looks to get Amos suited up in the purple and gold.

Now, making the decision to join LSU’s SEC rival, Amos has the chance to make an immediate impact, joining a Crimson Tide secondary that remains in search of depth. Reeling in a player of Amos’ caliber gives them some wiggle room as the offseason continues this summer.

A class of 2020 product, Amos flew under the radar coming out of high school. He attended New Iberia (La.) Catholic but never quite saw his recruitment take off. A last second offer from Tennessee could have swayed him to the SEC, but he remained loyal to Napier and his vision in Lafayette.

During his time with the Ragin’ Cajuns, Amos saw his game improve each season. The 6-foot-1, 197-pounder appeared in 34 games over three seasons with Louisiana. He totaled 59 total tackles with 2.5 for loss, one interception and 14 defended passes, being used primarily as a cornerback, but saw snaps at nickel/safety as well.
