Three LSU Football Commits to Monitor During the Early Signing Period

The LSU staff continues working the phone lines, Early Signing Period less than 24 hours away.

Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff have entered crunch time with the Early Signing Period less than 24 hours from kicking off.

Kelly and Co. currently hold a Top 10 recruiting class in America, but will certainly be looking to hold onto a few final pieces down the stretch.

On Tuesday morning, five-star cornerback Kade Phillips revealed his intentions to flip his commitment from the LSU Tigers to the Texas Longhorns.

It's a significant loss for the program with LSU now looking to hold onto the final two cornerback commitments in the 2025 class led by DJ Pickett (No. 1 CB in America) and Aidan Anding (No. 1 CB in Louisiana).

With Phillips out and the Tigers keeping a full court press on Pickett, who else will LSU fans be keeping tabs on down the stretch?

Three LSU Commitments to Watch:

The Latest on Keylan Moses: Texas A&M Visit

LSU linebacker commit Keylan Moses has been pledged to the Tigers for over a year after revealing a decision in November of 2023.

A player who's taken on a role as the leader of the 2025 Recruiting Class, Moses has been vocal about his desire to build up the current haul.

Now, down the stretch of his recruitment, the Louisiana native has kept his options open while evaluating other schools.

Moses visited the Oregon Ducks in 2024 and recetly wrapped up a multi-day stay with the Texas A&M Aggies during the final weekend prior to the Early Signing Period.

With less than 24 hours until the Early Signing Period kicks off, Moses will be a name to keep tabs on down the stretch with the Aggies making up ground in his recruitment.

He remains pledged to the Tigers, but it'll certainly be worth monitoring Texas A&M until the clock hits zero.

The Derek Meadow Buzz: Crimson Tide Surging

Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman four-star wide receiver Derek Meadows announced a commitment to Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers in July after a visit to Baton Rouge.

Since then, he's remained a coveted prospect on the recruiting trail with the top programs in America continuing to push for the wideout's services.

The 6-foot-6, 205-pounder is rated as the No. 1 prospect in Nevada and a Top 10 wide receiver in the 2025 Recruiting Cycle.

Once Meadows went public with a decision over the summer, he chose the Tigers over the likes of Michigan, Alabama and Notre Dame, among several others.

Now, he's continued keeping his options open.

Meadows has three programs pushing for a flip away from his LSU commitment.

What's the latest buzz surrounding Meadows' recruitment? Could he back off of his LSU pledge before the Early Signing Period next week?

The Michigan Wolverines Buzz:

The top-ranked wide receiver took a trip to Ann Arbor on Nov. 2 to check in with the Michigan Wolverines for their matchup against No. 1 Oregon.

Michigan has been a program pushing for Meadows over the last few months with the program getting the coveted recruit on campus earlier this month.

In November, Michigan flipped former LSU commitment Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 prospect in America.

Then, they began looking to snag LSU's highest-rated wide receiver commit in Meadows.

On3 Sports Recruiting Analyst Steve Wiltfong logged a prediction for the Michigan Wolverines to win out for Meadows and land his commitment, but has since flipped his pick.

There are ties here in favor of the Wolverines with Meadows' family being born and raised in Michigan a well.

“Home state for me and my wife,” Meadows' father told On3 Sports in July. “We’ve always been Michigan fans growing up. You’re going to be a Michigan fan or Michigan State fan growing up. We were Michigan fans. Have a lot of close ties with folks there. A lot of my family is there. Derek has a lot of family and friends. Great educationally and doesn’t hurt to be National Champions. A lot of support academically."

It's a recruitment to keep tabs on moving forward. Meadows did not visit Baton Rouge this fall, and with a visit to Ann Arbor now in the rearview mirror, he's also wrapped up another trip.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish Enter the Mix:

During the home stretch of Meadows' recruitment, it quickly became an LSU vs. Notre Dame battle with Michigan also being a name heavily involved prior to his commitment to the Tigers.

He was back in South Bend three weekends ago for a visit with Marcus Freeman and Co. putting all hands on deck for the top wide receiver on their 2025 Big Board.

"He has a visit to Notre Dame this weekend. They think it's more than likely that he ends up somewhere other than LSU. Texas A&M is also trying to get into the mix, maybe he visits there this weekend," On3 Sports' Steve Wiltfong said.

"He's always been comfortable at Notre Dame. He knows where he stands on the board; one of the top players on their board regardless of position."

Here Come the Alabama Crimson Tide:

Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide lost a commitment from five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham last month after flipping to Lane Kiffin's Ole Miss Rebels.

With the loss of Cunningham, the Crimson Tide have ramped up their push for several wideouts across America, including LSU commit Derek Meadows.

Meadows has been intrigued with the Alabama program and what DeBoer's club can offer with the Crimson Tide beginning to make headway in his recruitment.

Then, last week, 247Sports Recruiting Analysts Tom Loy and Blair Angulo have logged expert predictions for Meadows to land in Alabama's 2025 Recruiting Class.

On Monday, On3 Sports Recruiting Analyst Steve Wiltfong joined them by logging a prediction of his own for Meadows to land in Alabama's class.

Meadows remains verbally committed to Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers as it stands, but all signs point towards the coveted wideout flipping his pledge to the either the Michigan Wolverines or Alabama Crimson Tide before the Early Signing Period.

Mike Tyler: Coveted Tight End Commitment

Columbia (S.C.) Hammond tight end Mike Tyler revealed a commitment to Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers over the summer after a hard recruiting push in June.

Now, the South Carolina native has become a hot commodity on the recruiting trail with the in-state Gamecocks taking a stab at the hometown stud.

Tyler, a three-star tight end, is a player that has college coaches salivating at the potential as a recieving tight end at the next level.

He's reeled in offers from several East Coast schools including South Carolina, Duke and West Virginia, among several others.

The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder took a handful of trips down to South Carolina to check in with head coach Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks this fall. He did not make it to Baton Rouge for a game day visit.

LSU holds the verbal pledge, but the experts have begun logging predictions that Tyler will ultimately land in South Carolina's 2025 Recruiting Class with the Early Signing Period less than 48 hours away.

247Sports' Hale McGranahan and Tony Morrell have placed their predictions for Tyler to flip to the Gamecocks.

The Early Signing Period kicks off on Wednesday, Dec. 4 and runs through Friday, Dec. 6 where 2025 high school prospects will put pen to paper with the college of their choice.
