The LSU Tigers signed a top-five recruiting class for 2021, and wide receiver Chris Hilton is a big part of that class.
The four-star pass-catcher from Zachary High in Zachary, Louisiana, originally planned to sign in February but instead chose to sign during the early signing period.
Earlier this week, Hilton earned a prestigious honor when he was selected to the All-American Bowl.
The All-American Bowl is a high school all-star game featuring top talent representing the eastern and western United States. It is generally played on Jan. 2 in San Antonio, Texas, and broadcast on NBC. However, the 2021 game was canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Hilton, the No. 75 overall player in the 247Sports composite rankings, spoke with Billy Embody of 247Sports and admitted this was a dream come true.
“For me personally, it was one of the goals I set before the season started,” Hilton said. “I grew up watching the games and I always wanted to be a part of that so really it was a dream come true.”
Hilton will arrive at LSU in June.
