On3 released its latest player rankings for the 2023 cycle and LSU now leads the country with three five-star commits.
Prior to the release, LSU had two five-stars in the class with OL [autotag]Zalance Heard[/autotag] and WR [autotag]Shelton Sampson Jr.[/autotag]. They’re now joined by DL [autotag]Dashawn Womack[/autotag], who earned his fifth star and now ranks 22nd overall.
It’s a contrast to the 247Sports Composite and ESPN rankings, where LSU doesn’t have a single five-star. In both the 247 and ESPN rankings, Sampson remains LSU’s top recruit but has yet to pick up a five-star.
Heard is LSU’s top recruit according to the On3 rankings, coming in a little bit above Sampson. Regardless, LSU’s overall class ranks sits in the top five per On3 and 247.
LSU could add another five-star in the coming months, with [autotag]Desmond Ricks[/autotag]’ recruitment heating up and nearing a close.
Outside of Ricks, I wouldn’t bet on LSU picking up any other five stars in this cycle. Many of them are already committed and there’s not much smoke there with anyone else.
