New LSU Tigers wide receiver coach Cortez Hankton has officially hit the recruiting trail for the Bayou Bengals. His first offer went out to 2022 four-star wide receiver Caleb Douglas of Missouri City, Texas.
Douglas was previously committed to the USC Trojans before backing out of his pledge on Nov. 30. Douglas will take an official visit on Jan. 28. That is the same day that four-star safety Jacoby Mathews will be back in Baton Rouge as well.
Currently, the Tigers have just one commitment at the wide receiver position after losing a total of five receivers from the current roster. LSU flipped a Miami pledge just prior to signing day to land their lone pass catcher of the class. Douglas brings size to the position as well as the ability to create after the catch. He also showed off his ability to snag the ball out of the air, with one hand if needed.
