The No. 1 Safety in the 2025 recruiting class has trimmed his list of potential schools down to just five. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and the LSU Tigers made the cut.
LSU joins Oregon, Georgia, Michigan and Miami in the final five. There are currently no Crystal Ball projections for [autotag]DJ Pickett[/autotag]. Florida was a 25% favorite to land him per On3, but the Gators failed to make his top five, so it seems they are out.
Pickett is a 6-foot-3, 170-pound, five-star safety from Zephyrhills, Florida, where he plays for Zephyrhills High School. The Zephyrhills Bulldogs finished the 2023 season 8-4 with a loss to Vanguard in the second round of the 3 S state playoffs.
LSU already has the No. 1 quarterback, receiver and running back in the 2025 class. Adding to that with the No. 1 safety would just be more icing on the cake. Kelly has been doing a great job recruiting since arriving at LSU. Let’s see if he can pull off another master class.
