LSU soars into Top 10 of team recruiting rankings after 5-star commitment

LSU starting to heat up on the trail

The Tigers are already in tremendous position to sign another top-notch class despite having just five commits in the boat thus far. Landing a five-star often acts as a catalyst for momentum and the Tigers could be in for a big May as official visit season nears.

Last month saw LSU land a pair of blue-chippers in Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna four-star wide receiver Ah’Mari Stevens and Cecilia (La.) four-star athlete Braylon Calais.

Stevens, the No. 270 recruit and No. 39 WR in the nation, flipped to the Tigers from Miami. Calais, like Hudson, was another coveted in-state target. He ranks as the No. 185 recruit and No. 5 athlete.

“They’ve definitely been on me,” Calais previously told Rivals. “Knowing I’m the top athlete in Louisiana, I’m high on their board. The pressure on me has been drastically increasing with Coach Lane Kiffin hitting me up. They’re showing love all over the place.”

Hudson isn’t the only five-star in the class, either. Back in January, Irmo (S.C.) five-star EDGE Jaiden Bryant locked in with position coach Sterling Lucas and Co. He’s the No. 29 overall prospect in the cycle.
