Class of 2025 Ranking
LSU entered the day with 24 commitments and a No. 9 national ranking for its 2025 class, according to 247Sports.com.
The Flip
The Tigers did face a minor setback when Mike Tyler, the No. 28 tight end (6-3, 225) from Hammond High in Columbia, South Carolina, flipped his commitment. Tyler decommitted from LSU and signed with South Carolina, his hometown school, in a move that had been anticipated. Tyler is a three-star prospect.
Remaining Commitments
LSU is working to finalize the following six commitments, either later today or during the early signing period:
- DJ Pickett, No. 4 cornerback (6-4, 178), Zephyrhills High, Zephyrhills, Florida.
- Derek Meadows, No. 7 wide receiver (6-5, 200), Bishop Gorman High, Las Vegas, Nevada.
- Keylan Moses, No. 28 linebacker (6-2, 210), University High, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Pickett’s Decision Pending
All eyes are on DJ Pickett, the No. 4 cornerback, who is expected to announce his decision Wednesday afternoon. Reports suggest he’s leaning toward LSU, but there’s still a possibility of a last-minute change.
