LSU football’s 2025 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the most impressive in recent memory, thanks to the strategic efforts of head coach Brian Kelly and his staff. With a current national ranking as high as No. 2, the Tigers have secured commitments from several top-tier prospects, including five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood, wide receiver Derek Meadows, and cornerback DJ Pickett. However, the class is not yet complete, and LSU continues to pursue additional elite talent to further strengthen the roster.
One of the most coveted remaining targets is five-star cornerback DJ Pickett. Ranked as the top cornerback in the 2025 class by multiple recruiting services, Pickett’s commitment would solidify LSU’s secondary and enhance its reputation as “DBU.” The Tigers’ secondary coach, Corey Raymond, has a history of developing elite cornerbacks, and his return to LSU has been instrumental in attracting top talent like Pickett.
Another priority for LSU is offensive tackle Michael Fasusi, a top-10 prospect at his position. Although Texas is currently considered the favorite, Fasusi is scheduled to visit Baton Rouge later this month, keeping LSU in the hunt. Securing a commitment from Fasusi would bolster the offensive line and provide depth for the future.
Additionally, LSU is targeting tight end Kiotti Armstrong, who ranks among the top three at his position nationally. While not an immediate necessity due to current depth at the position, adding Armstrong would continue LSU’s tradition of developing top-tier tight ends and provide future options in the passing game.

Defensive lineman Dominick McKinley, who recently flipped his commitment from Texas A&M to LSU, brings a dynamic presence to the Tigers’ defensive front. Ranked as the No. 3 defensive tackle in the 2025 class, McKinley’s decision to stay close to home adds a significant boost to LSU’s defensive line depth. (
With these key targets still in play, LSU’s 2025 recruiting class has the potential to become one of the most talented and well-rounded in the country. Coach Kelly’s strategic approach and the program’s commitment to excellence continue to attract top-tier prospects, positioning the Tigers for sustained success in the coming years.
