LSU offered their ninth quarterback of the 2023 class recently with Nico Iamaleava of Downey, California. Currently, he is rated as the No. 3 quarterback of the class behind Arch Manning (No. 1) and Malachi Nelson (No. 2).
Brian Kelly and the offensive staff will likely look to take a big-time quarterback recruit in their first full cycle at LSU. The 2023 class has plenty of quarterback talent behind Manning and Nelson. Iamaleave and Dante Moore are the next two guys on the list. Both have offers from the Tigers.
Iamaleava announced his top 12 schools back on Christmas before LSU offered the talented quarterback. Can they get into the mix?
