LSU extends offer to the top quarterback in 2027 class

LSU extended an offer to Baton Rouge native Elijah Haven, the top quarterback in the 2027 cycle.

It was only a matter of time before 2027 quarterback [autotag]Elijah Haven[/autotag] picked up his LSU offer. The five-star Baton Rouge native is considered the top QB in his class, according to On3 and 247Sports.

The offer was made official on Friday with LSU QBs coach Joe Sloan making the call.

Haven plays his high school ball at Dunham High and is listed at 6-4, 205 pounds. Given his proximity to LSU, the Tigers are an immediate contender. LSU typically has good luck with Louisiana’s top prospects.

There’s a long way to go in Haven’s recruitment, but if LSU pulls it off, it would continue a trend of top-notch QB recruiting for the Tigers. LSU has a commitment from [autotag]Bryce Underwood[/autotag], the top QB and overall recruit in the 2025 class.

Good QB play used to be hard to find at LSU. That trend was bucked in recent years, starting with Joe Burrow’s Heisman campaign in 2019.

Haven took to social media to announce the news.

Haven took a visit to LSU last weekend before [autotag]Joe Sloan[/autotag] watched Haven’s game on Thursday.

LSU has yet to add anyone to its 2027 class, but a commitment from Haven would be a great centerpiece to build the class around.
