It's a busy offseason schedule for Schiefer with Lane Kiffin and the Bayou Bengals looking to make an impact during their visit on March 22 as Spring Camp inches closer in Baton Rouge.

LSU is set to host a myriad of top recruits this offseason with spring visit season inching closer in the Bayou State for Kiffin and Co.

This Weekend's Key Visitor: TE Ahmad Hudson

Ruston (La.) five-star tight end Ahmad Hudson has narrowed his focus to six schools with Kiffin and the LSU Tigers surging for the dynamic pass-catcher out of the Bayou State.

Hudson checks in as the No. 1 rated tight end in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle with offers galore rolling in across his illustrious prep career after three strong seasons in the Bayou State.

The 6-foot-6, 230-pounder has earned scholarships from the likes of the LSU Tigers, Ole Miss Rebels, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Alabama Crimson Tide, and Texas A&M Aggies, among several others.

The LSU Tigers are quickly building momentum in the program's pursuit of America's top-ranked tight end with Rivals' Shea Dixon logging a prediction on Monday morning in favor of the program winning out for his commitment.

"Super-sized tight end with uncommon frame-and-athleticism combination. Matchup nightmare in the passing game with ability to stretch the field and work the short-to-intermediate level. Instinctive in the air with late-adjustment skill and body control," 247Sports wrote of Hudson's game.

LSU and Nebraska remain the pair of schools to keep tabs on this offseason for the two-sport standout.
