LSU’s claim to fame as a program may be as “DBU” thanks to the large number of talented defensive backs it has put into the league, it has made a strong claim as “WRU” in recent years, as well.
The last decade or so has seen the team produce players like [autotag]Odell Beckham Jr.[/autotag], [autotag]Jarvis Landry[/autotag], [autotag]Justin Jefferson[/autotag] and [autotag]Ja’Marr Chase[/autotag]. Not all of those players were elite prospects — namely Jefferson, a former three-star recruit who sat outside the top 2,000 nationally — but many of them were.
LSU has already landed one elite pass-catcher in the 2022 recruiting cycle in [autotag]Jalen Brown[/autotag], a high-rated four-star who ranks 39th overall in the nation, and it could be about to land a five-star in[autotag]Shelton Sampson Jr.[/autotag], a Baton Rouge native.
Brown ranks as the 11th-best receiver commit the Tigers have ever landed, per the 247Sports Composite. The top 10 were all five-stars coming out of high school. Here’s where each of them stands going back to 2000, which is when the 247Sports recruiting rankings began.
