LSU makes progress with blue-chip receiver from St. Louis

LSU recently hosted a four-star receiver on campus and reportedly made a strong impression.

After a visit to LSU, four-star receiver Jeremiah McClellan is impressed.

According to On3, LSU is now near the top of McClellan’s list. McClellan told On3 he’s a fan of wide receivers coach [autotag]Cortez Hankton[/autotag] and his track record of development.

McClellan has four stars from all four major recruiting services. 247Sports is the highest on his ability, slating McClellan as the 17th-best wide receiver in the 2024 class and the fourth best in the state of Missouri.

LSU has competition. Ohio State is also recruiting the blue-chip receiver and the Buckeyes seldom miss when recruiting pass catchers.

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and staff made it a point to recruit the St. Louis area when taking over at LSU.

Kelly, having spent a decade at Notre Dame, is familiar with the Midwest, and LSU cornerbacks coach [autotag]Robert Steeples[/autotag] is a fixture in the St. Louis high school football community.

Last cycle, LSU landed tight end [autotag]Mac Markway[/autotag] from Missouri. LSU defensive tackle [autotag]Mekhi Wingo[/autotag] is also from the area and transferred to LSU after beginning his career at Missouri.
