The class of 2024 recruiting cycle is nowhere near complete. Still, that hasnā€™t stopped the LSU coaching staff from dipping their toes into the class of 2025. Recently, majorĀ LSU football cornerback targetĀ Jaboree Antoine received a big-time boost in rankings and is officially a five-star.

There is plenty of elite talent out of Louisiana for the 2025 class. The state has two players ranked within the top 40, with cornerback Jaboree Antoine being rated the highest.

He recently received a significant boost, moving up to five-star status. According to 247 Sports, he ranksĀ No. 27 nationally, No. 1 in Louisiana and No. 4 at the cornerback position.

The 6-foot-1, 175-pound prospect out of New Iberia has quickly risen as one of the best players in the country. Even more encouraging is that early signs point to him wanting to stay close to home.

According to On3,Ā LSU (11.3 percent) and Grambling State (9.9 percent)Ā have the best chance of earning his commitment. Still, itā€™s hard to say for sure, as he hasnā€™t even begun his junior year of high school yet.

Antoine is a playmaker on both sides of the ball

Five-star cornerback Jaboree Antoine is an athlete through and through. He can do pretty much anything on the football field, whether it be on offense or defense.

Technically, heā€™s listed as a cornerback, but this doesnā€™t mean he isnā€™t more than capable of making big plays on offense.

During the 2022 season, Antoine recorded 32 tackles, five interceptions and a whopping 11 pass breakups. Itā€™s getting to the point where opposing offenses would be better off not throwing in his direction.

The LSU football team loves to keep talented players from Louisiana in-state. For coach Brian Kelly, this will be a big one. Antoine has game-breaking ability and could take the Tiger defense to a new level from the moment he gets on campus.
