LSU football is making a strong impression on yet another blue chip wide receiver

Coach Brian Kelly and the LSU football class of 2025 continue to make an impression on some of the top pass catching talent in the country, most recently being included in the top-five for blue chip wide receiver Derek Meadows.

Well, they don’t exactly call LSU “WRU” for nothing. After most recently producing several first round talent wide receivers such as Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase, Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr, the purple and gold have found themselves trending for some of the top pass catchers the class of 2025 has to offer.

Even despite just losing a commitment from five-star Dakorien Moore earlier this month, coach Brian Kelly doesn’t appear to be hurting for blue chip wide receiver recruiting targets. Among said targets include Jaime Ffrench, Kaliq Lockett, CJ Wiley, and now Derek Meadows, who included LSU in his top-five schools earlier this week.

“I will pick one of these five schools when I commit.”

Along with the Tigers, Meadows included several top college programs within his list, as they’ll be competing against Alabama, Georgia, Michigan and Notre Dame for his talents.

Rated as a five-star recruit, according to 247Sports, the 6-foot-5, 200-pound Las Vegas, NV, standout currently ranks No. 32 nationally, as well as No. 6 among players at his position.

While Notre Dame looks like the current favorite to eventually earn his commitment, according to both 247Sports and On3, he’s certainly doing his due diligence when it comes to research for the best option for himself. Among his current list of scheduled official visits are Georgia (June 7), Notre Dame (June 14), LSU (June 18) and Alabama (June 21), as well as Michigan which he’s visiting today.

As we stand, the LSU football recruiting class of 2025 ranks No. 2 nationally and No. 1 among in-conference foes with 11 total commitments. If the Tigers manage to land a pledge from the five-star Meadows, he’ll join a pass catching group that already includes four-star wide receiver TaRon Francis (New Orleans, LA) and tight end JD LaFleur (Sulphur, LA).
