The Buzz: Could LSU Football Be Trending For Two More Commitments?
Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff continue their push on the recruiting trail with a trio of targets trending their way.
The Bayou Bengals currently boast the No. 2 recruiting class in America and have the opportunity to continue loading up on talent in the 2025 cycle.
The latest on a pair of targets who could commit to the Tigers next:
The LSU Recruiting Buzz
The James Simon Buzz:
Brian Kelly and Co. have been adamant about locking down Louisiana and building a wall around the state when it comes to The Boot's best players.
Now, the Tigers have secured commitments from six of the Top 10 prospects with one more trending their way.
LSU has continued its push for the No. 4 player in Louisiana: James Simon.
The No. 2 running back in the Bayou State and Top 10 back in the 2025 cycle is quickly trending LSU's way after visits with the coaching staff.
The Recent Visit:
Recruiting guru Frank Wilson has worked his tail off when recruiting Simon, and after making a trip up to Shreveport a few weeks back, he's now gotten his four-star target down to Baton Rouge twice this month.
The four-star, Top 10 back in the 2025 cycle has been wined and dined by the top programs in the country with the Bayou Bengals looking to keep the Calvary Baptist star in The Boot.
Wilson, the Tigers' running backs coach, has already locked in a pledge from the No. 1 back in America, Harlem Berry, with Simon looking to be his next target.
The 2025 class has the chance to be a program changer for the purple and gold. With commitments from Bryce Underwood (No. 1 QB), Harlem Berry (No. 1 RB) and Dakorien Moore (No. 1 WR), Brian Kelly and Co. aren't messing around.
The offensive weapons are remarkable and LSU is looking to assemble an impressive one-two punch in the backfield with Berry and Simon.
Now, the Tigers have completed a visit with their top running back target after an in-person check in last month with another likely trip coming this summer.
During the last month's check in up in Shreveport, it also gave the staff a chance to meet with Devin Harper, a four-star offensive lineman who plays his high school ball alongside Simon.
Harper recently revealed his pledge to the purple and gold with LSU looking to do the same with Simon.
After speaking with those familiar with Simon's recruitment, LSU Country has now logged a prediction for the No. 4 ranked player to join LSU's loaded 2025 class. Despite a commitment date not set in stone, by the time Simon puts pen to paper, we believe he will be a member of the Tigers' class.
Could a Four-Star Offensive Lineman Commit Soon?
Offensive line coach Brad Davis has been on a tear on the recruiting trail over the last few months, and after securing a commitment from the No. 1 IOL in America just weeks ago, he's now trending for another,
Davis has worked diligently over the last few weeks on former Arkansas commit Carius Curne. Shortly after a visit to Baton Rouge, Curne backed off of his pledge to the Razorbacks and reopened his recruitment.
Now, LSU is picking up steam and trending for his services. The four-star Arkansas native is a player Davis has coveted as he looks to get him down to The Boot for his college ball. At 6-foot-4, 300 pounds, he's nimble on his feet with programs across America battling for his signature.
Look for Davis and Co. to remain in hot pursuit of Curne. A player the Tigers want in their elite 2025 class, this program will certainly turn up the heat.
LSU Country will log a prediction for Curne to end up in the Bayou Bengals' 2025 class soon.
