LSU Recruiting: Tigers Check In On No. 2 RB In Louisiana
The LSU football staff has been all over America this week as they continue assembling the 2025 class.
Recruiting guru Frank Wilson and quarterbacks coach Joe Sloan checked in on the No. 2 running back in Louisiana on Thursday: James Simon.
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.
Simon has been trending LSU's way for months, but with no commitment date set, this program will continue putting their foot on the gas in order to secure his services.
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.
During the trip, 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 Top 10 schools with LSU making the cut. As it stands, the Tigers remain in a solid position for both Simon and Harper, but no decision dates have been set yet by the pair of four-star prospects.
Wilson and Sloan also hopped on a flight up to Michigan this week to visit with the No. 1 prospect in America: Bryce Underwood.
The prized recruit revealed his commitment to LSU on Jan. 6 and this program is wasting no time in getting more face time with their program changing player.
It was a busy week on the recruiting trail for this program, meeting with Underwood, Simon and Harper, among others, as LSU looks to bring in an all-time class in the 2025 cycle.
