LSU Heating Up On Recruiting Trail, A Dive Into The Latest Pledges
LSU is in the midst of a heater on the recruiting trail after securing three elite-level prospects in four days. With two Louisiana natives in the fold and the No. 4 overall prospect in Tennessee, this week has been huge for the Tigers.
It all started when four-star safety Joel Rogers revealed his pledge to Brian Kelly’s program. Less than 48 hours later, three-star, fast-rising wide receiver Kylan Billiot committed to the purple and gold.
Now, it’s Ondre Evans who’s a Tiger. With three impact players taking their talents to Death Valley, LSU is riding a recruiting wave with even more prospects looking to reveal their commitments sooner rather than later.
A look into who’s committed this week:
Joel Rogers - 2024 Safety
The No. 8 overall player in Louisiana, Brian Kelly and his program added a do-it-all athlete to their 2024 class on Monday.
Rogers is one of the more gifted prospects in the state. A guy who’s played both sides of the ball his entire high school career, he’s projected to pan out as a safety at the next level to carry on the “DBU” tradition in Death Valley.
At 6-foot, 185-pounds, Rogers attains the adequate size and strength of a safety at the next level. With another year in high school, the sky's the limit for the dynamic defensive back.
Rogers’ size allows him to fit the prototypical safety mold. With sideline-to-sideline speed, he moves across the field shot out of a cannon, and it’s only become more impressive over the last 12 months.
Kylan Billiot - 2024 Wide Receiver
Billiot, who received an offer from LSU on Saturday after dominating in their 7v7 camp, wasted no time in committing to the Tigers on Wednesday. After getting a scholarship from his “dream school,” the three-star wide receiver knew where he wanted to be. Now, he’s gone public with the decision.
The 6-foot-3, 190-pounder has been on a steady rise during high school. He put his name on the map during his junior campaign and has had LSU monitoring his growth ever since. After a monster showing on Saturday, this program pulled the trigger immediately after dishing out an offer.
A raw, athletic wideout who’s beginning to see his ranking rise at a rapid pace, Billiot has proven he has next in Baton Rouge.
LSU has an impressive track record of developing Louisiana wide receivers. Can Billiot be up next? All signs point to the answer being yes.
Ondre Evans - 2024 Cornerback
The Tennessee native has been a hot name on the recruiting scene as of late, earning offers from Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, among others. After making his way to Baton Rouge last week for LSU’s Elite Camp, Evans was a standout with the Tigers putting their foot on the gas to secure a commitment from the shutdown corner.
The trip to campus gave the electrifying prospect the opportunity to meet with Brian Kelly, other 2024 targets and soak in the culture being developed at LSU.
Evans is the No. 4 overall player in the state of Tennessee with Brian Kelly and his staff stealing a major SEC target once again. With the Volunteers in constant contact with Evans, the hometown star could have stayed home, but Kelly and Co. worked their magic once again.
The 6-foot, 185-pounder has been a fast-rising prospect in the 2024 class. With his body beginning to fill out, he’s seen it take his game to a new level. After a standout junior campaign, Evans has all the intangibles of breaking out in his senior season before heading to Baton Rouge.
