LSU wide receiver Chris Hilton has made headlines by announcing his decommitment from LSU and flipping his commitment to Duke Football.
The surprising move comes as a shock to LSU fans and adds significant excitement to Duke’s growing football program under head coach Mike Elko.
Hilton, a former four-star recruit from Zachary, Louisiana, was known for his speed and playmaking ability.
Despite showing flashes of potential during his time at LSU, Hilton’s opportunities were limited in the Tigers’ crowded wide receiver room.
His decision to transfer is likely motivated by a desire for increased playing time and a larger role in Duke’s offense.
Duke Football has been on the rise, with Elko transforming the program into a competitive force in the ACC. Adding a talent like Hilton could provide the Blue Devils with a dynamic weapon to bolster their passing game. Hilton’s ability to stretch the field and create explosive plays aligns perfectly with Duke’s evolving offensive identity.
Hilton took to social media to announce his decision, thanking LSU for the opportunity and expressing excitement for his new chapter at Duke. His commitment marks another win for Duke Football as they continue to attract high-caliber players and establish themselves as a destination for rising talent.
