Mike Tyler is visiting this weekend, and LSU could be poised to take a tight end from South Carolina’s backyard.

LSU has quite a cast of visitors in town on Friday including two uncommitted five-stars in top safety [autotag]Jonah Williams[/autotag] and receiver [autotag]Jaime Ffrench[/autotag].

The Tigers will hope for an impactful recruiting weekend, but they already find themselves in a strong position for one of Friday’s visitors as they look to steal a three-star tight end from South Carolina’s backyard.

LSU is playing host to [autotag]Mike Tyler[/autotag], a Columbia, South Carolina, native. Ahead of Tyler’s visit on Thursday, 247Sports LSU insider Sonny Shipp placed a crystal ball for the Tigers to land him. The Gamecocks previously held the lone crystal ball projection, which was placed back in April.

The 6-foot-4 prospect ranks No. 661 nationally and as the No. 32 tight end in the class, according to the 247Sports composite. LSU already has one tight end commitment from legacy [autotag]JD LaFleur[/autotag], and it looks like it could be in a position to add another.

LSU’s 2025 class moves into top 5 with Dakorien Moore’s commitment

The Tigers’ are off to a very nice start in the 2025 cycle.

It’s still very early in the 2025 recruiting cycle, which won’t officially begin for a few more months. But LSU got a huge early boost for the class by landing five-star 2025 receiver [autotag]Dakorien Moore[/autotag] on Saturday.

The Duncanville, Texas, prospect joined his high school teammate in [autotag]Caden Durham[/autotag], a 2024 running back who committed to the Tigers on Thursday.

With Moore on board, LSU has its highest-rated commitment in the 2025 class so far. Moore ranks as the No. 5 player in the country according to 247Sports’ rankings, and he sits at No. 11 in the site’s industry composite rankings.

After that addition, LSU’s class ranks fifth nationally per 247Sports and fourth according to On3.

Moore joins a class that also features a pair of legacies in four-star offensive lineman [autotag]Brett Bordelon[/autotag] and four-star tight end [autotag]JD LaFleur[/autotag], as well as three-star cornerback [autotag]Jaylen Bell[/autotag].

BREAKING: LSU lands 5-star wide receiver in 2025 class

LSU has snagged another super-talented athlete from Duncanville High School in Dakorien Moore.

Just a few days after landing one of the best running backs in the country for the 2024 recruiting class in [autotag]Caden Durham[/autotag], LSU snagged another super-talented athlete from Duncanville High School.

This time, LSU landed a five-star wide receiver who is ranked as the No. 5 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class and the No. 2 wide receiver in the class. [autotag]Dakorien Moore[/autotag] is 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds, and he is a monster for Duncanville.

Last season, he finished with 44 receptions for 764 yards and 6 TDs (17.4 per catch) for the Texas 6A D-I state champions as a sophomore. Like Caden Durham, Moore runs track as he anchored Duncanville’s Texas 6A state championship 4×200 relay and ran the third leg for the silver medal-winning 4×100 relay.

Moore is the first huge commitment of the 2025 recruiting class. He became the fourth commit joining [autotag]JD LaFleur[/autotag], [autotag]Brett Bordelon[/autotag] and [autotag]Jaylen Bell[/autotag]. LSU’s 2025 recruiting class is currently ranked as the No. 4 overall recruiting class by 247Sports.

BREAKING: Tigers land 2025 legacy tight end JD LaFleur

JD LaFleur is the son of former All-American LSU tight end David LaFleur.

LSU picked up its third commitment in the 2025 recruiting cycle, and this time it’s a player with a last name fans should be familiar with.

Four-star Sulphur, Louisiana, tight end [autotag]JD LaFleur[/autotag] announced his commitment to the Tigers on Tuesday afternoon. LaFleur is an LSU legacy as his father, [autotag]David LaFleur[/autotag], played for the Tigers from 1992-96, becoming one of the best tight ends in program history.

The elder LaFleur earned All-SEC honors twice and Third-Team All-American honors in his final season.

His son ranks inside the top 350 nationally according to both On3 and 247Sports’ composite rankings, though the latter has him as a three-star prospect. LaFleur is a top-15 tight end in the cycle according to 247Sports.

LSU has made recruiting tight ends a big priority since Brian Kelly arrived on campus, and now they’ve landed the top tight end in the state of Louisiana in next year’s class.
