BREAKING: Tigers land 2025 legacy tight end JD LaFleur

JD LaFleur is the son of former All-American LSU tight end David LaFleur.

LSU picked up its third commitment in the 2025 recruiting cycle, and this time it’s a player with a last name fans should be familiar with.

Four-star Sulphur, Louisiana, tight end [autotag]JD LaFleur[/autotag] announced his commitment to the Tigers on Tuesday afternoon. LaFleur is an LSU legacy as his father, [autotag]David LaFleur[/autotag], played for the Tigers from 1992-96, becoming one of the best tight ends in program history.

The elder LaFleur earned All-SEC honors twice and Third-Team All-American honors in his final season.

His son ranks inside the top 350 nationally according to both On3 and 247Sports’ composite rankings, though the latter has him as a three-star prospect. LaFleur is a top-15 tight end in the cycle according to 247Sports.

LSU has made recruiting tight ends a big priority since Brian Kelly arrived on campus, and now they’ve landed the top tight end in the state of Louisiana in next year’s class.
