The LSU Tigers have a knack for sending wide receiver talent to the NFL.
Names like Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry and D.J. Chark are just some of the former Tiger pass-catchers now starring in the NFL.
Just last season, LSU’s Justin Jefferson went on to become a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, while Ja’Marr Chase won the Biletnikoff Award as college football’s top receiver.
Naturally, the top wide receiver prospects in the country want to come to Baton Rouge.

The Tigers already have commitments from three four-star receivers in the 2021 class. Could another be on the way?
Four-star wide receiver Malcolm Johnson released his top five and the defending national champions were on the list.

Johnson, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound speedster who plays his high school football at St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes in Alexandria, Va., is the No. 118 player in the country, per 247Sports.

He spoke with Brian Dohn of 247Sports where he discussed his final group.
Johnson loved the production of LSU’s receivers.
“I think one of their receivers (Jefferson) had 110 catches,” Johnson said. “It’s crazy. Another (Chase) had close to 100. They pass a lot, too, which is very attractive to a receiver.”
Johnson has yet to announce when he will be making his commitment.
