LSU Football: Tigers Land No. 3 CB in America Jaboree Antoine

The Bayou Bengals land one of the nation's top 2025 cornerbacks, pledges to Brian Kelly's program.

The LSU football staff is fresh off of a busy weekend on the recruiting trail as the program hosted their first "Junior Day" of the offseason. 

Now, the dust has settled with the Tigers landing a commitment from the No. 3 cornerback in America: Jaboree Antoine. 

The No. 2 ranked player in Louisiana made his way to Baton Rouge for an unofficial visit alongside several of his peers in the 2025 class on Saturday, 

Antoine, one of the top rated defensive backs in the cycle, remains a major priority for the Tigers, with the program now securing his services.

After hiring Louisiana legend Corey Raymond as the cornerbacks coach, LSU has ramped up its recruitment for Antoine in a major way.

Now, he's taken in an important unofficial visit in Death Valley with the Tigers landing the Top 50 prospect in America.

It was a monstrous day for the LSU program with several of the top rated prospects in both the 2025 and 2026 classes making their way to town.

For Antoine, it's clear the Tigers rolled out the red carpet as they battle for his services down the stretch. The 2025 prospect will put to paper in December. 

Those familiar with the recruitment of the four-star cornerback's recruitment believe this will come down to an LSU vs. Texas battle down the stretch with the Tigers now receiving the verbal pledge. 

Last weekend, Antoine took a visit to Austin (Tex.) for an unofficial with with Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns. Just a week later, he made his way down to Baton Rouge.

Sources familiar with the Westgate (La.) products recruitment believed he would wait to reveal a pledge until the summer, but now it's all locked down with LSU. 

Antoine resides in New Iberia, La. with a major connection coming into play. Raymond, the Tigers' freshly hired cornerbacks coach, is from the New Iberia area as well.

With Raymond back in the mix, it certainly helped the Tigers' chances at securing the coveted cornerback.

Now, with a productive visit wrapped up, LSU has moved the needle in Antoine's recruitment process. 

The top-ranked Bayou State defensive back has the Tigers turning up the heat with Raymond leading the charge in his recruitment.

LSU Country will have the latest on LSU's "Junior Day" this weekend and updates on Antoine's visit.
