LSU Football recruiting is on fire in the month of July

Going into the month of July, the LSU Tigers were already in the top five in the country in recruiting. Going into the month of July, but like any team they needed to gain momentum beyond top quarterback recruit Bryce Underwood and top running back recruit Harlem Berry. And gain momentum they did.

Despite losing out on one time commit and top wide receiver prospect Dakorien Moore to the Oregon Ducks, things have gotten even better since.

What players have committed to the LSU Tigers in July?

DJ Pickett: The Tigers have added five star cornerback DJ Pickett who ranks as the second best cornerback prospect in the 2025 class, and the sixth best prospect nationally according to On3. Pickett gave huge props to secondary coach Corey Raymond in an interview with On3’s Josh Newbery stating, “If you a DB and coach Raymond is at LSU, I feel like that’s the right place to be at.”

Zion Williams: Pickett was not alone in praising a position coach as another July commit in four star defensive lineman Zion Williams praised his defensive line coach and recruiter Bo Davis https://southboundanddown.com/posts/eye-opening-comments-from-lsu-commit-on-bo-davis-01j2q0dgypa8 .

Brandon Brown: Brown was in tandem with Williams committing within a day or two of each other as a pair of defensive line recruits that will be on campus in 2025. Brown ranks as a four star recruit on On3 as the 30th best defensive lineman nationally.

Derek Meadows: Wide receiver Derek Meadows plays at high school powerhouse Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas, Nevada and chose to travel east to Baton Rouge committing to the Tigers on July 20th. Meadows is a six foot eight inch receiver that ranks as the 10th wide receiver prospect nationally in the 2025 class according to On3.

Jhase Thomas: Thomas is an in-state product which Brian Kelly has been putting an emphasis on since his arrival in Baton Rouge. Although he is only a three star recruit, the safety should not be slept on. We all remember Tyrann Mathieu, who was also a three star recruit https://southboundanddown.com/posts/three-stars-or-less-the-best-to-players-ever-do-it-in-the-sec-01j1dmrcffpr for the Tigers. And he worked out just fine.

Where do the LSU Tigers rank in recruiting for the 2025 class?

The Tigers are up to third nationally behind the Ohio State Buckeyes and Alabama Crimson Tide. They rank second in the SEC as well, which is a great sign for Brian Kelly and the Tigers as Kelly enters his third season at the helm. If they stay as hot as they have been on the recruiting trail, this could spell trouble for the SEC and the rest of the college football world.
