As official visit season rapidly approaches, it’s becoming more and more clear that coach Brian Kelly has placed a significant emphasis on the defensive backfield heading into the heat of the class of 2025 recruiting cycle. Most recently, LSU football locked in an official visit with blue chip safety Omarion Robinson.
Arkansas-based blue chip safety locks in summer official visit with LSU football
While you can’t solve a defensive back issue with one recruiting class, you can at least help it, especially when looking into the future of your program. For coach Brian Kelly and the Tigers, there’s plenty of work to be done following last season’s rough showing, and it appears that they might be hoping the incoming freshman group and the class of 2025 can start to turn things in the right direction.
LSU football is in on several of the top safeties and cornerbacks in the country, including five-star recruits Faheem Delane, DJ Pickett and current four-star commitment Jaboree Antoine.
Now, as their board continues to grow, they’ve most recently locked in a scheduled official visit from May 31 until June 2 with four-star safety Omarion Robinson out of Arkansas.
Ranking as the No. 241 player nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite, as well as No. 22 at the safety position, the 6-foot, 171-pound recruit is unlikely to come in and make an immediate impact, but has the potential to become something special down the line.
As a part of Parkview High School in Little Rock, AR, Robinson has done just about everything for his team, playing every position from quarterback, to wide receiver, to safety, which could give him an immediate edge from an athleticism standpoint once he reaches the college level.
As we stand today, Arkansas and Oklahoma appear to be the current favorites to land the blue chip safety, but with LSU getting him on campus for an official visit later this month, there’s at least a chance for the Tigers, which very well could be all they need to turn his attention towards Baton Rouge, LA, before things are all said and done.
