LSU is trying to close out strong as we enter the final months of the 2024 cycle, but the Tigers are already pressing for prospects in next year’s class.
One of those is four-star 2025 Pearland (Tex.) Shadow Creek receiver [autotag]Jacorey Watson[/autotag]. Entering his junior season, Watson already ranks as a top-100 prospect according to 247Sports and On3, with the latter ranking him No. 87 overall in its industry rankings.
He already has a lot of suitors, naturally, but LSU has been one of the programs pushing the hardest. Watson has a good relationship with receivers coach [autotag]Cortez Hankton[/autotag] and recruiting specialist [autotag]Sherman Wilson[/autotag], and he had positive impressions from several visits already, including a trip to Tiger Stadium for the upset win over Alabama last fall.
Texas and LSU are the heavy favorites here, according to On3. The Longhorns have a slight edge, but the Tigers sit just behind at 43.5% on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.
LSU currently has just two prospects committed in 2025, both of which are three-stars.
