LSU calls upon Patrick Peterson to help land 2025 top cornerback recruit

The recruiting hot stove is on full blast as June has arrived. The top 2025 recruits are making official visits throughout the month before fall arrives. One major 5-star prospect in the limelight right now is cornerback/safety DJ Pickett.

Pickett visited LSU on Friday and saw Tigers legend Patrick Peterson welcome him to his potential new home.

Patrick Peterson Makes LSU Recruiting Pitch to DJ Pickett

LSU held more than 10 2025 recruits this weekend, including two 5-star cornerbacks. It only made sense to bring in one of the most recognizable and prominent cornerbacks from the program's history to help sell the allure of LSU. Plus, Peterson's NFL success makes him an even better salesman.

The big potential catch of the weekend is DJ Pickett. Ranked highly as both a corner and safety prospect, the Tampa, Florida product has been quite vocal lately. He's talked about how Oregon and Miami are among his top choices and how Georgia is basically the new Alabama.

The 6-foot-4 defender has a busy slate of visits coming. While LSU brought out Peterson, who is someone Pickett's family reportedly "knows well", upcoming visits to Georgia, Miami, and Oregon loom large.
