Brian Kelly, LSU Dishes Out Major Offer to Louisiana Native Ahmad Breaux
LSU hosted their Junior Day recruiting event on Saturday, and after bringing in a number of the top 2024 prospects in the country, the Tigers dished out a few offers.
With high-priority targets on campus, Brian Kelly and Co. made it important to get face time with Louisiana native Ahmad Breaux.
Breaux, who is currently committed to Duke, had a great visit to Baton Rouge where the Tigers ultimately dished out an offer to the rising senior.
The 6-foot-3, 255-pound EDGE has been on a steady rise throughout high school, but a productive junior campaign has his recruitment taking off. Breaux added an SEC offer from Missouri earlier this year as his rise continues.
A Duke commit right now, LSU will certainly be in his ear pushing for the dynamic edge rusher to flip to the purple and gold.
A player of his caliber would give the Tigers’ 2024 recruiting class a boost in the right direction, and after securing 4-star linebacker Kolaj Cobbins on Friday night, we could see this class take off sooner rather than later.
Brian Kelly’s Recruiting Message:
“We’re going to identify the best prospects throughout the country and you’ll see that in this signing class. We’ll have players from the northeast, the midwest, the west coast. But our base will be Louisiana and the south,” Kelly said. “When you’re LSU and you have a brand that’s so recognizable, you can’t have blinders on either. Our scope and vision is national but it’s not like we’re pulling four guys out of every state. We’re gonna have a heavy influence in the state of Louisiana, like we should.”
“I think within a calendar year we could be looking to turn over 70 scholarships,” Kelly said. “I certainly don’t think it’s going to be in the mid to high 30s [as the norm]. I think that’s outside the lines. I do believe the high 20s is going to be the norm. I remember years where it was 18, I think those days are over.”
“You don’t want to jump every year into the transfer portal when it comes to the cornerback position. We did this year because there was such a need to put together a representative group. I think there’s gonna be a heavy influence on freshmen and that’s the way we want to build,” Kelly said. “Does that mean we won’t look at transfers? No, it doesn’t mean we’ll close the door on that, but last year they were one year and done. We’re not looking in that respect. Corners would have to have more than one season of competition left if we go that route.”
