No. 1 2026 prospect, New Orleans native Jahkeem Stewart reclassifies to 2025

LSU’s top target in the 2026 class has now reclassified to the current cycle.

LSU’s top target in the 2026 recruiting cycle has now reclassified to 2025.

[autotag]Jahkeem Stewart[/autotag], a New Orleans native who began his high school career at St. Augustine but transferred to Edna Karr ahead of the 2024 season, was initially the No. 1 prospect nationally in the 2026 class. But he’s now set to graduate a year early, he announced on Saturday, and will soon decide where he’ll play college ball next season.

Predictably, his ranking took a bit of a hit with his reclassification, but he remains a five-star prospect and ranks No. 19 nationally in the 2025 class according to On3’s industry rankings. Other recruiting services are yet to reevaluate him as a 2025 prospect.

LSU is a heavy favorite to land him per On3’s recruiting prediction machine, and if it can add him to a 2025 class that already ranks No. 3 nationally, it has the chance to push for the No. 1 overall class.

LSU offers 5-star 2027 QB Colton Nussmeier, brother of Garrett Nussmeier

Could LSU have another Nussmeier under center in a few years?

Depending on where his draft stock goes, the 2024 season could be quarterback Garrett Nussmeier’s only one as the starter at LSU.

But even if Nussmeier opts to head to the NFL after this season, that doesn’t mean it will be the last time we see a Nussmeier line up behind center in a Tigers uniform.

On Saturday, the Tigers offered his younger brother, [autotag]Colton Nussmeier[/autotag]. Colton is a 2027 quarterback prospect from Marcus (Flower Mound, Texas) and he’s already one of the most coveted prospects in his class.

The five-star prospect ranks as the No. 11 player nationally, per the 247Sports composite, and his offer list already includes a handful of Power Four programs. Now, the Tigers are adding themselves to the list as they search for a signal-caller in the 2027 cycle.

The younger Nussmeier was one of two elite quarterbacks to pick up an offer from the Tigers over the weekend as they also extended an offer to [autotag]Elijah Haven[/autotag], a Baton Rouge native and the nation’s top signal-caller, on Friday night.

LSU extends offer to the top quarterback in 2027 class

LSU extended an offer to Baton Rouge native Elijah Haven, the top quarterback in the 2027 cycle.

It was only a matter of time before 2027 quarterback [autotag]Elijah Haven[/autotag] picked up his LSU offer. The five-star Baton Rouge native is considered the top QB in his class, according to On3 and 247Sports.

The offer was made official on Friday with LSU QBs coach Joe Sloan making the call.

Haven plays his high school ball at Dunham High and is listed at 6-4, 205 pounds. Given his proximity to LSU, the Tigers are an immediate contender. LSU typically has good luck with Louisiana’s top prospects.

There’s a long way to go in Haven’s recruitment, but if LSU pulls it off, it would continue a trend of top-notch QB recruiting for the Tigers. LSU has a commitment from [autotag]Bryce Underwood[/autotag], the top QB and overall recruit in the 2025 class.

Good QB play used to be hard to find at LSU. That trend was bucked in recent years, starting with Joe Burrow’s Heisman campaign in 2019.

Haven took to social media to announce the news.

https://twitter.com/elijahhaven05/status/1839873725807890481

Haven took a visit to LSU last weekend before [autotag]Joe Sloan[/autotag] watched Haven’s game on Thursday.

LSU has yet to add anyone to its 2027 class, but a commitment from Haven would be a great centerpiece to build the class around.

LSU hosting 5-star WR Boobie Feaster for South Alabama game

The Tigers will play host to the No. 4 prospect in the 2027 class on Saturday.

When LSU faces South Alabama at Tiger Stadium in Week 5 on Saturday night, it will have a big-time 2027 recruit in town.

According to Marshall Levenson of Rivals, five-star 2027 receiver Ethan “Boobie” Feaster will take an unofficial visit for the non-conference matchup. Feaster, who hails from DeSoto, Texas, is the No. 4 overall player in the 2027 recruiting class according to the 247Sports composite.

Feaster has quite a few high-profile offers, including one from the Tigers. The sophomore is early in his high school career, but he’s already one of the most coveted prospects in the country. LSU currently holds no commitments in the 2027 class.

https://twitter.com/MarshallRivals/status/1838657716631511150

SMU is currently the slim favorite to land Feaster per the On3 recruiting prediction machine, but it’s still very early in his recruitment with plenty of time for that to change.
