When [autotag]Philip Wright III[/autotag] decommitted from Michigan on August 4th, all signs pointed to him wanting to stay closer to home. What better place to go than LSU when you are a kid from Louisiana?
[autotag]Philip Wright III[/autotag] is a 5-foot-11, 175-pound, four-star wide receiver from Destrehan, Louisiana, where he plays for [autotag]Destrehan High School[/autotag]. Last season Destrehan finished 11-1 with a loss to Zachary in the playoffs. The Wildcats start their season on Aug. 30 against Lutcher.
LSU’s [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] is ranked as the No. 3 class in the country according to 247Sports. Wright is the third wide receiver commit in the class joining five-star [autotag]Derek Meadows[/autotag] and four-star [autotag]TaRon Francis[/autotag]. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] has been loading up on star players to surround his five-star quarterback [autotag]Bryce Underwood[/autotag] who is currently committed to LSU for the 2025 class.
Kelly has signed a top 10 classes every year since becoming the head coach at LSU. This 2025 class looks to be his best class of all time.
