LSU Secures Official Visit With Top 2024 Wide Receiver
LSU target Cameron Coleman has flown up the national recruiting rankings over the last few months after a productive junior campaign. The five-star wide receiver has become a household name as he prepares for a monster offseason ahead of his senior year.
It’ll be a big recruiting stretch for Coleman, but he already has a general idea of where he wants to visit. The consensus five-star prospect has already locked in two officials and the LSU Tigers will get one in June.
Coleman will arrive in Baton Rouge on June 23 for a weekend stay to soak in Death Valley. It gives him the chance to get one-on-one time with Brian Kelly and LSU wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton as he begins finalizing his list.
The Alabama native will also travel to Clemson for an official visit on June 2. LSU and Clemson are the only two confirmed official visits locked in to this point, giving the Tigers a head start in the recruitment of Coleman.
At 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, Coleman already attaints a sturdy frame as he heads into his senior season. With the physical traits and explosive playstyle every college program across the country is looking for, Coleman is your prototypical wideout at the next level.
Look for the Tigers to keep their foot on the gas for Coleman who has schools ranging from Clemson, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Alabama and others all in his ear hoping to get an official visit over the next few months.
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.”
