LSU already has a top-10 (or top-five, depending on the service) recruiting class in the 2025 cycle. Now, it has the chance to land a player who could help take that group from great to elite.
On Wednesday night, five-star cornerback [autotag]DJ Pickett[/autotag] will announce his college decision between his finalists of LSU, Oregon and Miami at 6 p.m. CT. Pickett ranks as the No. 6 player nationally and No. 2 cornerback according to On3’s industry rankings and the 247Sports composite.
However, On3’s own rankings tab him as the No. 3 player in America and the top cornerback.
Pickett is the top uncommitted player on LSU’s board as the Tigers have put on a full-court press to land him. However, they will likely need a last-minute change to do so.
Oregon has been heavily trending for Pickett in recent days behind a reportedly strong NIL push. The Ducks hold three crystal ball projections from 247Sports, all placed in the last week, as well as multiple predictions from On3’s experts.
The Zephyrhills (Fla.) prospect is one of the highest-rated uncommitted players in the nation, and he would almost certainly push LSU’s class into the top five if it can pull off a mild surprise and land him.
