Where LSU stands in the latest 247Sports composite recruiting rankings

Here’s where LSU’s recruiting class stands as the staff prepares for summer.

Brian Kelly and LSU are off to a strong start on the 2024 trail with the Tigers sitting fourth in the latest recruiting rankings from 247Sports.

LSU has 12 commits with the highest-rated player being [autotag]Maurice Williams[/autotag], a top-100 linebacker out of Texas. LSU could still use some reinforcements at the top of the class. According to 247, Williams is the only top 100 recruit in the class.

LSU has just one more recruit in the top 200 — [autotag]Kolaj Cobbins[/autotag], also a linebacker.

Kelly has made it a point to beef up in the trenches. LSU landed several blue-chip offensive linemen in 2023 but struggled to seal the deal with some interior defensive linemen. That’s sure to be a heavy focus as LSU enters the back half of this recruiting cycle.

LSU already has its quarterback in [autotag]Colin Hurley[/autotag] after he reclassified out of the 2025 class.

Another area that will continue to receive focus is the secondary. LSU will rely on transfers at corner again this fall and this staff needs to continue to add young talent to that room.

But all things considered, LSU’s in a good spot right now, and after seeing the work the staff has done these last two cycles, expect LSU to finish strong again.

Where LSU stands in On3’s updated 2024 consensus recruiting rankings

On3 has released its latest recruiting rankings for the 2024 class, and LSU sits just outside the top 10.

On3 released its latest recruiting rankings for the 2024 class, and LSU is just outside the top 10.

The Tigers have 12 commitments for the class. The emphasis of this class so far has been to build more depth at the linebacker position. LSU has lost a number of linebackers to the transfer portal and injuries lately so [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] is trying to rebuild that aspect of the team.

He has an incredible foundation at linebacker with talented sophomore [autotag]Harold Perkins[/autotag].

With the loss of [autotag]Walker Howard[/autotag] to the transfer portal, LSU was looking to recruit another talented quarterback, and it landed four-star [autotag]Colin Hurley[/autotag] from Jacksonville, Florida.

This class is far from complete and these rankings are just based on high school players. Kelly likes to be aggressive in the transfer portal and bring in talented guys with substantial experience.

We will see how it all shakes out.
