Top target Colin Simmons canceled Colorado visit to attend LSU spring game

The Tigers appear to be the leader in the race for one of the nation’s best high school prospects.

One of the nation’s top prospects, [autotag]Colin Simmons[/autotag], was in Baton Rouge for the spring football game this Saturday.

The Duncanville (Tex.) pass rusher shows significant athleticism and hand skills. His ability to turn the corner is one of his strong suits. Per On3, Simmons planned to be at Colorado’s spring game but changed his plans to visit LSU.

Simmons is a highly talented five-star+ EDGE recruit. He measures around 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds. Simmons is the fifth-ranked overall recruit and the top edge rusher in the nation. He has interest from virtually every school in the country but has shown a natural affinity for the SEC.

He states that Baton Rouge “feels like Texas”. This would be a huge get for the Tigers and would likely make an immediate impact in the trenches.

5-Star+ EDGE Colin Simmons was originally supposed to attend the Colorado spring game this weekend.

Instead he's in Baton Rouge for LSU's spring game. The Tigers are the current leader on the RPM with 44%

LSU set to host 5-star cornerback this weekend

LSU is hosting one of the best prospects in the 2024 recruiting class this weekend in Baton Rouge.

LSU is hosting one of the best prospects in the 2024 recruiting class this weekend in Baton Rouge as it tries to persuade him to become a Tiger.

[autotag]Kobe Black[/autotag] is a 6-foot-1, 190-pound, five-star cornerback from Waco, Texas, where he plays for Connally High School. The Connally Cadets finished the 2022 season 9-3 with a loss to Hamshire-Fannett in the second round of the 4A D2 playoffs.

LSU’s 2024 recruiting class currently is ranked as the No. 4 overall class by 247Sports and has 12 commits currently. Two of those are cornerbacks, four-star [autotag]Zion Ferguson[/autotag] and three-star [autotag]Wallace Foster[/autotag].

Black is ranked as the No. 15 overall recruit in his class and the No. 2 cornerback. Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Texas and Baylor are all vying for his talents.

There are currently no crystal ball projections at this time for Black but Oklahoma State is a 28% favorite to land him per On3. Hopefully, [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and his staff can convince him to spend his years in college at LSU.

Elite LSU EDGE target planning official visit to Baton Rouge: ‘It’s a no-brainer’

The Tigers are the current favorite for five-star prospect Colin Simmons.

The Tigers are already off to a promising start in the 2024 recruiting cycle, and it would get even better if they could close things out with consensus five-star edge rusher [autotag]Colin Simmons[/autotag].

Simmons is in the midst of planning his official visit schedule, and he’s already decided to take trips to three schools: Georgia, Texas and LSU.

A five-star prospect from Duncanville, Texas, who ranks as the No. 3 player nationally per On3’s industry rankings and the 247Sports Composite, Simmons called visiting LSU a “no-brainer.” He’s taken a number of visits to Baton Rouge, most recently in September.

LSU is the favorite here per On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine at 44.1%, and coach Brian Kelly’s team holds a Crystal Ball projection from 247Sports director of football recruiting Steve Wiltfong.

Simmons would become the highest-rated commit in a 2024 recruiting class for the Tigers that currently ranks second nationally.

LSU surges to the top of 2024 DB’s list after successful visit

The Tigers are trending for a rising 2024 prospect from Mississippi after a weekend visit.

The sweepstakes for 2024 three-star Clarksdale, Mississippi, cornerback [autotag]Patrick Broomfield[/autotag] is largely seen as an in-state battle between Ole Miss and Mississippi State. After an unofficial visit to LSU on April 1, a new contender has apparently entered the mix.

The 6-foot-2, 160-pound cornerback told On3 his visit with the Tigers went very well and he had one-on-one meetings with cornerbacks coach [autotag]Robert Steeples[/autotag], as well as defensive coordinator [autotag]Matt House[/autotag] and head coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag].

LSU seemingly made a strong impression. Broomfield said LSU is among the teams at the top of his list following the trip to Baton Rouge.

Broomfield holds one crystal ball projection from 247Sports in favor of Mississippi State, while the Rebels have a slim lead per the On3 recruiting prediction machine at 39.9%. The Bulldogs follow at 34.9%, while the Tigers are third at 10.6%.

However, LSU seems to be trending in the right direction for a rising player who still isn’t ranked by most of the major services but has recently picked up a few big-time offers, including from the Tigers and Oregon.

Texas A&M defensive line commit wants to come back to LSU after spring practice visit

The Tigers hosted Dealyn Evans for an unofficial visit this past weekend.

The Tigers could be making progress toward what would be a massive flip in the 2024 recruiting class.

This past weekend, LSU hosted Texas A&M defensive line commit [autotag]Dealyn Evans[/autotag] for a visit to check out spring practice. According to a report from On3’s Billy Embody (subscription required), Evans had a productive visit and would like to make a return trip once the team hires a new defensive line coach, though he had positive things to say about interim [autotag]Gerald Chatman[/autotag].

He said that he will likely use that second trip to determine whether the Tigers receive one of his five official visits. He plans to return to College Station for the Aggies’ spring game, and he has visits set with Alabama (April 22) and TCU (April 29). He also said he plans to visit Florida.

The Longview (Tex.) Pine Tree prospect is a four-star recruit and ranks as the No. 125 player nationally (and No. 16 defensive lineman) per On3’s Industry Rankings.

LSU hosting one of its top 2024 targets on campus this weekend

LSU is looking to close the deal with four-star Lilburn (Ga.) Parkview cornerback Jalyn Crawford.

The Tigers already have 11 commitments in their 2024 class, and they will hope to make progress toward another this weekend as they host four-star cornerback [autotag]Jalyn Crawford[/autotag], one of their top uncommitted targets, on campus for a visit.

The Lilburn (Ga.) Parkview prospect ranks as the No. 122 player nationally and No. 14 cornerback according to the On3 Industry Rankings. This will be his fourth total unofficial visit to campus but his first since last April.

The Tigers have a lot of momentum here. They’re the heavy favorite to land him according to the On3 Prediction Machine at 82.9%, and they hold a Crystal Ball prediction from 247Sports national recruiting director Steve Wiltfong.

I will be at @LSUfootball this weekend #GeauxTigers @CoachBrianKelly @SteepDiesel @BobbyBarham_LSU @CoachMHouse @CoachKerryCooks @ParkviewFB @ChadSimmons_ @JeremyO_Johnson @Mansell247 @BillyEmbody pic.twitter.com/WseENGW7M0

However, Auburn did receive a Crystal Ball projection earlier this month.

LSU currently has the No. 2-ranked recruiting class in 2024, and coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] already has two cornerbacks committed in [autotag]Zion Ferguson[/autotag] and [autotag]Wallace Foster[/autotag]. However, Crawford would become the top-ranked defensive back and second-ranked player overall in the Tigers’ class.

LSU could be in a good position for this 4-star DL after ‘amazing’ visit

The Tigers seem to have made a strong impression on Pine Bluff (Ark.) DL Charleston Collins.

LSU hosted 2024 defensive lineman [autotag]Charleston Collins[/autotag] for a visit last week, and the Tigers seem to have made an impression on the four-star Pine Bluff (Ark.) Wilbur D. Mills prospect.

Collins — a 6-foot-4, 250-pound player who is listed as the No. 25 defensive lineman and No. 243 overall prospect on the 247Sports Composite Rankings — told On3’s Chad Simmons (subscription required) that his unofficial visit was “amazing.”

He said he met with coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] as well as several of the other 2024 prospects the Tigers have committed in a class that currently ranks second nationally.

There are other suitors for Collins, including Arkansas, Georgia, TCU, Tennessee and Texas. However, the in-state Razorbacks and LSU seem to be the frontrunners. He has four Crystal Ball predictions, two for Arkansas back in May and two for LSU from November.

On3 has LSU as a heavy favorite, listing it at 95.2% to land him on the Recruiting Prediction Machine.

Louisiana EDGE, Duke commit Ahmad Breaux sets LSU visit

Breaux is yet to pick up an LSU offer, but that could change after his visit for junior day.

Three-star Ruston edge rusher [autotag]Ahmad Breaux[/autotag] has set an unofficial visit with LSU on March 4, he told On3’s Sam Spiegelman (subscription required).

Breaux, who is originally from South Carolina but moved to northern Louisiana, has been committed to the Duke Blue Devils since Jan. 26. But he’s picked up some more interest in the meantime, including from the in-state Tigers, who have yet to offer him.

That could change during Breaux’s visit, which will take place during LSU’s junior day. With the dead period ending after February, that will be the team’s first major recruiting weekend in a while, and there will be a lot of talent in town.

Breaux will hope to pick up that offer from the Tigers this trip. He has been in constant contact with LSU defensive line coach Jamar Cain and director of recruiting JR Belton, a northern Louisiana native, he told Spiegelman. This will be Breaux’s second trip to campus after he visited for a game in the fall.

4-star Texas offensive tackle plans to stop by LSU after the dead period

The Tigers will host Blake Frazier on March 4.

When the dead period comes to an end on Feb. 28, LSU will be the first stop Austin (Tex.) Vandegrift offensive tackle [autotag]Blake Frazier[/autotag] makes.

The four-star prospect picked up an LSU offer back in January, and he told On3’s Sam Spiegelman (subscription required) that the Tigers — and particularly offensive line coach [autotag]Brad Davis[/autotag] — have been among the most vocal staffs when it comes to communicating with him.

Frazier, who ranks No. 152 nationally per 247Sports and No. 173 according to On3, will return to Baton Rouge on March 4.

He’s seen his interest pick up quite a bit over the last few months after a breakout junior season playing right tackle. His recruitment will almost certainly heat up heading into his junior season, and LSU seems to be in a good spot as things currently stand.

LSU included among this 4-star EDGE’s busy spring visit slate

The Tigers will be one of many programs hosting Jamonta Waller for an unofficial visit in the coming weeks.

[autotag]Jamonta Waller[/autotag] isn’t messing around when it comes to his recruitment.

The four-star Picayune (Miss.) Picayune Memorial edge rusher has locked in a busy slate of unofficial visits for the coming weeks. He will take 11 trips in total during March and April, including one to Baton Rouge to see LSU on April 1.

Waller has seen his profile rise considerably. He currently ranks as the No. 205 player nationally per the 247Sports Composite, and he’s the No. 6 player in the state of Mississippi. Ole Miss is seen as the favorite right now, per On3, but Alabama is a riser after recently offering him.

After taking his slate of unofficial visits, Waller will decide which programs will get official visits during the summer. LSU will hope to secure one of those.
