The LSU football staff has kept tabs on one of the top wide receivers in The Boot as they continue their pursuit of Destrehan (La.) four-star Jabari Mack.

Mack, the No. 1 wideout in Louisiana, received a scholarship from his hometown program in early 2024 with wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton monitoring the 2026 star.

Mack made his way to Baton Rouge in late July for LSU's annual Bayou Splash recruiting event alongside several of the top prospects in America.

For the top-ranked wideout in the Bayou State, he's seen premier programs turn up the heat, but LSU is certainly making a move in his recruitment.

The 6-foot, 192-pounder has received offers from Auburn, Florida State, Mississippi State, Nebraska and Penn State, among others as his rise continues.

Now, he's officially released his Top-10 schools:

• Florida State Seminoles
• LSU Tigers
• Michigan Wolverines
• Alabama Crimson Tide
• Oregon Ducks
• Tennessee Volunteers
• Texas Longhorns
• Texas A&M Aggies
• Ohio State Buckeyes
• Nebraska Cornhuskers

Mack has hauled in offers from the top programs in America and his offer list proves just that.

The Louisiana native will work through a big-time offseason leading up to his senior campaign with the Destrehan (La.) Wildcats in 2025.

LSU has recruited Louisiana well in recent years with the program reeling in a pair of top receivers from the state in the 2025 Signing Class: TaRon Francis and Phillip Wright.

Wright played his high school ball alongside Mack at Destreham where he will certainly be pushing for a reunion with his teammate.

For Francis, he's a player with significant intrigue.

 Francis, the No. 1 rated wide receiver in Louisiana. The Boot's top-ranked wideout signed with LSU in December where he has an opportunity to compete for meaningful snaps on Day 1 in Baton Rouge.

Francis will be an early-enrollee and make his way to campus in January, a source tells LSU Tigers On SI.

It's an important addition for the program given Francis will now have an opportunity to work through spring camp in March and April alongside a gifted receiving corps in Baton Rouge.

The 6-foot, 206-pounder is a consensus four-star wide receiver out of Edna Karr High in New Orleans. Now, he'll look to carry his success to LSU after an impressive prep carreer.

Francis joins a talented wide receiver room in Death Valley where Garrett Nussmeier will have an embarrassment of riches to work with in 2025.
