LSU added to its stellar 2025 class over the weekend, flipping four-star cornerback [autotag]Kade Phillips[/autotag] from Texas. According to On3, Phillips is the No. 7 ranked corner in the country and No. 65 overall recruit.
The Industry Rankings slate Phillips 164th overall, making him the 13th top 200 recruit to join LSU’s class.
With the addition, LSU’s class remained at No. 3 in the nation, but the Tigers closed the gap with Alabama and Ohio State. Just .079 points separate LSU and Ohio State’s classes now.
247Sports agrees with On3, ranking LSU at No. 3 too.
Phillips is LSU’s 16th blue-chip recruit of the class, which ties Ohio State for most in the country.
As far as average recruit rating goes, LSU ranks third, too. Oregon leads the country with an average rating of 92.79, followed by Ohio State at 92.28 and LSU at 91.76.
Flipping Phillips was the second Texas flip of the cycle for LSU. Earlier this summer, the Tigers managed to swing four-star defensive tackle [autotag]Brandon Brown[/autotag].
LSU recruiting is on a roll right now and the Phillips addition keeps LSU in the race for the top overall class. The Tigers are still chasing some of the nation’s top prospects with safety [autotag]Jonah Williams[/autotag] and wide receiver [autotag]Jaime Ffrench[/autotag] still on the board.
