LSU Adds Commitment From No. 1 IOL in America Tyler Miller
Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff continue stockpiling talent for the long haul after reeling in a commitment from the No. 1 interior offensive lineman in America: Tyler Miller.
The 6-foot-6, 320-pounder provides offensive line coach Brad Davis with another coveted prospect to add to his position group.
Miller, a Mississippi native, is rated as a consensus four-star recruit across all platforms and is the 71st ranked prospect per On3.
He chose the Tigers over a slew of programs including Ole Miss, Florida and Mississippi State, among others.
Now, after visiting Baton Rouge last weekend, Miller has shutdown his recruitment and revealed his pledge to Kelly and Co. as he begins spring football.
The trip to The Boot paved the way for Miller to commit to the Tigers and join their No. 1 recruiting class in the country.
On3's evaluation of Miller: “Tyler Miller has been in the top 100 for On3 for several months. A guy who could play multiple positions on the offensive line. Got to see him in person at the Atlanta Under Armour camp, he is really well-built at 6-foot-5, 315 pounds. Has plus length with 34-plus inch arms. A violent, physical run-blocker. Going to need to continue to develop in pass protection, and I think his skillset right now projects most seamlessly on the interior, but he’s a good athlete, fluid mover and a guy who, when you look at the pure physical ability and his ready-made size, projects well.”
LSU now has four prospects rated No. 1 at their position committed in the 2025 class.
- Bryce Underwood: No. 1 QB
- Harlem Berry: No. 1 RB
- Dakorien Moore: No. 1 WR
- Tyler Miller: No. 1 IOL
Who could be next? Three prospects to keep tabs on:
The James Simon Buzz:
Brian Kelly and Co. have been adamant about locking down Louisiana and building a wall around the state when it comes to The Boot's best players.
Now, the Tigers have secured commitments from six of the Top 10 prospects with one more trending their way.
LSU has continued its push for the No. 4 player in Louisiana: James Simon.
The No. 2 running back in the Bayou State and Top 10 back in the 2025 cycle is quickly trending LSU's way after visits with the coaching staff.
The Recent Visit in Shreveport:
Recruiting guru Frank Wilson and quarterbacks coach Joe Sloan checked in on the No. 2 running back in Louisiana last month after traveling up to Shreveport.
The four-star, Top 10 back in the 2025 cycle has been wined and dined by the top programs in the country with the Bayou Bengals looking to keep the Calvary Baptist star in The Boot.
Wilson, the Tigers' running backs coach, has already locked in a pledge from the No. 1 back in America, Harlem Berry, with Simon looking to be his next target.
Simon has been trending LSU's way for months, but with no commitment date set, this program will continue putting their foot on the gas in order to secure his services.
The 2025 class has the chance to be a program changer for the purple and gold. With commitments from Bryce Underwood (No. 1 QB), Harlem Berry (No. 1 RB) and Dakorien Moore (No. 1 WR), Brian Kelly and Co. aren't messing around.
The offensive weapons are remarkable and LSU is looking to assemble an impressive one-two punch in the backfield with Berry and Simon.
Now, the Tigers have completed a visit with their top running back target after an in-person check in last month with another trip coming on March 24.
During the last month's check in, it also gave the staff a chance to meet with Devin Harper, a four-star offensive lineman who plays his high school ball alongside Simon.
Harper recently revealed his pledge to the purple and gold with LSU looking to do the same with Simon.
After speaking with those familiar with Simon's recruitment, LSU Country has now logged a prediction for the No. 4 ranked player to join LSU's loaded 2025 class. Despite a commitment date not set in stone, by the time Simon puts pen to paper, we believe he will be a member of the Tigers' class.
Micah DeBose: No. 3 IOL in America
One of the top interior offensive lineman in the 2025 cycle made his way to Baton Rouge to meet with Brad Davis and the staff, and after the trip, the Bayou Bengals began making noise.
Now, the Tigers are trending for the No. 3 interior offensive lineman in America after DeBose's visit after a pair of crystal balls were logged last week.
On3's Chad Simmons logged his prediction as did Anna Adams of 247Sports.
After speaking with those familiar with DeBose's recruitment, it's clear LSU is making noise and has become the program to beat for his services.
The 6-foot-4, 290-pounder received a visit from Davis in Alabama earlier this month with DeBose then traveling down to The Boot to see what the purple and gold are all about during the first weekend of February.
A former Georgia commit, DeBose reopened his recruitment process with several elite programs making their rounds.
Ohio State, Alabama, LSU and USC are just a few of the top schools in America dialed in on DeBose as he navigates his recruitment.
Auburn remains a school making noise in his recruitment, but DeBose is feeling out a myriad of schools as they come filing in post-Georgia decommitment.
LSU holds a pair of 2025 offensive line commitments in Brett Bordelon and recent pledge Devin Harper.
Harper, the No. 3 player in Louisiana, announced his commitment to Brad Davis and the Tigers just weeks ago after a successful visit to Baton Rouge as well.
The Tigers hold America's No. 1 recruiting class in the 2025 cycle with more splashes coming sooner rather than later for a program dominating the recruiting trail.
DeBose will be a name to monitor in the coming weeks as he works through his process with LSU quickly becoming the team to beat.
He will make his way to Baton Rouge for a visit this spring.
DJ Pickett: No. 1 Defensive Back in America
The Bayou Bengals brought in five-star DJ Pickett for an unofficial visit to Baton Rouge last month with Raymond leading the recruitment push.
The No. 1 safety in the 2025 cycle made his way to "The Boot" to check out the scenes of Death Valley.
After arriving on Tuesday night (Jan.30), Pickett stayed in Baton Rouge all day on Wednesday for his visit before departing on Thursday morning, sources told LSU Country.
Just weeks later, Pickett has now locked in an LSU official visit for June 1.
Pickett's Summer Official Visit Schedule:
LSU: June 1
Georgia: June 7
Miami: June 14
Oregon: June 21
Pickett, who's cruised up the recruiting rankings over the last few months, released a final five schools in December consisting of Alabama, Georgia, Miami, Florida and Michigan.
Now, he's also keeping LSU and Oregon in the mix with the Tigers receiving an unofficial visit. Since the visit, he's shaken up his finalists with LSU now a team to beat.
The Buzz on Pickett's Visit Down South and the Finalists:
Corey Raymond Leading the Charge
Despite only being on staff for less than a month, Raymond is handling business on "The Trail."
During his previous coaching stint at LSU from 2012-2021, Raymond coached seven players who earned first-team All-America honors along with four first round NFL Draft picks. He had another five players selected in the second round of the NFL Draft and also coached the 2019 Jim Thorpe Award winner Grant Delpit.
Raymond is a former standout defensive back for the Tigers and later went on play six seasons in the NFL.
“Corey’s passion for LSU and the desire for our program to have the best defensive back unit in the country really stood out,” Kelly said following the hire. “Corey’s tremendous knowledge and experience, along with his recruiting success, make him a great addition to a strong defensive staff."
Now, he's had an opportunity to wine and dine the No. 1 safety in America with Pickett making his way to Baton Rouge for a big-time unofficial visit.
Pickett had been in contact with Raymond during his stint with the Florida Gators. Now, after making a return to LSU, he's made an impact on Pickett.
For the Tigers, it's clear the impact Corey Raymond has already had on this program.
LSU reeled in a commitment from the No. 3 cornerback in America, Jaboree Antoine, late last month as this program retools its secondary.
Keylan Moses and Other Tigers Pushing for Pickett
During last month's visit, LSU rolled out the red carpet with members of the Tigers' 2025 recruiting class dropping in to visit with Pickett.
The top recruiter for the 2025 class has been four-star linebacker Keylan Moses and he made sure to check in with Pickett before he departed.
The two went through a photoshoot, discussed future plans and more, sources tell LSU Country.
Along with Moses popping in, 2024 signees DaShawn McBryde and Joel Rogers made an appearance at Pickett's visit.
The trio of safeties took pictures together while the pair of Tigers provided their pitch to Pickett.
The Top Five Schools
The Bayou Bengals brought in Pickett for an unofficial visit to Baton Rouge last month and quickly made an impact in his recruitment.
The No. 1 safety in the 2025 cycle made his way to "The Boot" to check out the scenes of Death Valley and the Tigers quickly rose to the top of his list.
LSU made Pickett's Top 5 schools alongside Oregon, Georgia, Michigan and Miami.
The Buzz: LSU made significant movement in Pickett's recruitment with the visit going "very well," sources told LSU Country. The Tigers are well positioned as he begins looking into an official visit schedule.
The Tigers believe they are certainly near the top of his list, if not at the top after a successful first visit to Baton Rouge.
