Bayou King, Brian Kelly Gaining Steam in Recruiting

2023 CB Javien Toviano (#43 nationally, #7 CB), Martin High School, Arlington, Texas

Similar to Ricks, Javien Toviano was on campus for the Alabama win, resulting in multiple predictions in favor of the Tigers. Aside from Ricks, Toviano is the highest-ranked uncommitted cornerback, so landing the pair would be massive. Although in the leader position, Michigan still holds his lone official visit while Texas will host the talented corner in their matchup against TCU this weekend. With no official date for a decision and no list of top schools, we can only assume there is still plenty of time for LSU to lose its lead even though they are currently the clear frontrunner. 

2024 TE Trey'Dez Green (#51 nationally, #2 TE), East Feliciana High School, Jackson, Louisiana

Although early on in Trey'Dez Green's recruitment, LSU has solidified itself as the leader. The Tigers are trying to push the hometown narrative to Green but more so to his mother. The 6'7.5 TE is also a D1 basketball prospect with the Tigers pushing hard on that end as well, so two sets of staff have established bonds with Green, something that will likely go a long way. Regardless of if it's early on for the 2024 class, LSU will be a tough team to beat given these factors. 

2024 DL Charleston Collins, (#234 nationally, #21 DL) Wilbur D. Mills High School, Little Rock, Arkansas

The Arkansas native seemed to be trending to his hometown Razorbacks earlier in the year but LSU has jumped ahead following his recent visit to the Alabama win. Following the visit, Charleston Collins already spoke of returning to Baton Rouge while raving about his experience. I feel like there will be a lot of moving pieces until Collins makes a decision, so don't be surprised if Arkansas regains momentum, but I like where the Tigers positioned themselves at the moment. 

2025 RB Harlem Berry, (#19 nationally, #2 RB) St Martin's Episcopal School, Metairie, Louisiana

Harlem Berry is a recruit who has already established himself as one of the most dynamic playmakers in the 2025 class which resulted in LSU pushing for the in-state prospect early on. Berry is another recruit who was an attendee for the Alabama game and like others, raved about the Tigers following the victory. He was pretty clear in the fact that LSU is currently the team to beat and mentioned his aspirations to be a hometown hero. If the Tigers continue to find success on the field, it will be hard for them to lose grasp of the in-state prospect. 

2025 ATH Keylan Moses, (#63 nationally, #3 ATH), University Laboratory School, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Although the brother of former Alabama linebacker and Butkus Award finalist Dylan Moses , the Tigers have done all they can to keep the talented athlete home. Keylan Moses has reciprocated the Tigers' desire to have him, as he has gone to two games so far this season, Southern and Alabama, speaking highly of each visit, sounding as if he was already committed. Even though it is incredibly early on, it is incredibly difficult for me to see Moses land elsewhere.
