LSU Football: Tigers Offer No. 1 Wide Receiver in Louisiana

The Tigers offer one of the Bayou State's finest, extend scholarship to Destrehan's Jabari Mack.

The LSU football staff has kept tabs on one of the best wide receivers in The Boot, and after a standout sophomore campaign, the Tigers have now extended an offer.

Jabari Mack, the No. 1 wideout in Louisiana, has received a scholarship from his hometown program.

It's an offer Mack has been waiting for as he continues piling up college interest during the offseason. 

The four-star 2026 prospect dominated his sophomore season at Destrehan (La.) and continues soaring up the rankings.

A Top 10 receiver in his class, he's become a hot commodity on the recruiting trail.

At 6-feet, 170 pounds he's received offers from Auburn, Florida State, Mississippi State, Nebraska and Penn State, among others. 

Now, LSU has entered the mix for the No. 1 wide receiver in the Bayou State as this program looks to continue stockpiling the state's top players after an impressive 2024 cycle. 

It's clear the 2025 cycle has the chance to change the program, but the 2026 cycle could carry the momentum.

Louisiana is home to three of America's Top 5 prospects:

Jahkeem Stewart (DL): No. 1 Overall

Blaine Bradford (S): No. 4 Overall

Lamar Brown (DL/iOL): No. 5 Overall

Throw Mack in the mix as a Top 10 wide receiver and the Tigers could be in good hands for the long haul. 

It's clear head coach Brian Kelly is looking to build a wall around the state, and with a 2026 class bursting with talent, the motive remains the same.

Mack will head to Miami this weekend for a 7-on-7 tournament where he will be playing above his age group with the U18 squad.

LSU, who's dipped into the 2026 class in a big way over the last three weeks, will certainly be turning up the heat for one of the best skill position players in The Boot.
