LaGrange (Ga.) Troup County four-star running back Javarris Warner remains a hot commodity this offseason in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle despite revealing a commitment to the Cincinnati Bearcats last October.

Warner checks in as a Top-100 rated running back in America with a myriad of powerhouse programs entering the race in his recruitment as he blossoms into one of the nation's top prospects.

The 5-foot-10, 185-pound Peach State native has earned offers from the likes of the Florida State Seminoles, Vanderbilt Commodores, Auburn Tigers, Duke Blue Devils, and Penn State Nittany Lions.

But the LSU Tigers are now a school to keep tabs on with Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers dishing out an offer to Warner over the weekend following a call with the program's shot-caller.

Across Warner's 2024 campaign as a sophomore, he logged 816 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns on 6.4 yards per carry.

The talented offensive weapon also tallied 17 receptions for 113 yards and 1 touchdown on 6.6 yards per catch. He averaged 26.1 yards on 9 kick returns, including 1 touchdown, as well on special teams.
