LSU Football Predicted to Land Commitment From Prized Ohio State Buckeyes Target

Cecilia (La.) four-star wide receiver Braylon Calais continues his rise as one of the top pass-catchers in America with Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers turning up the heat for the Bayou State star.

Calais, the No. 2 rated receiver in Louisiana, remains a priority target for Kelly and Co. where he made his way to Tiger Stadium last Saturday for the program's matchup against South Carolina.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder turned heads as a sophomore in 2024 after logging 1,059 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns on 163 carries with an additional 411 receiving yards and four scores as a wideout.

LSU has built a strong relationship with the prized Louisiana athlete with wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton eyeing the coveted Louisiana star in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle as a priority target.

Along with the in-state Tigers, Ryan Day and the defending National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes are intensifying their pursuit for Calais.

According to the Rivals "Recruiting Prediction Machine," the Buckeyes remain a threat in Calais process as he cruises up the rankings.

But the LSU Tigers are making their presence felt in this one following another strong visit to campus.

After the recent weekend visit to Baton Rouge in September, LSU began "making a big push" for the No. 2 rated wideout in Louisiana with the coaching staff focused on the state's next star.

Now, the LSU Tigers are trending with Rivals' Sam Spiegelman logging a prediction in favor of the Bayou Bengals beating out Ohio State and Texas A&M, among others, for Calais' commitment.

LSU will look to fend off multiple heavy-hitters with the Ohio State Buckeyes and Texas A&M Aggies, among others, entering the mix, but the relationship continues getting stronger with LSU.

The Tigers hosted Calais for an unofficial visit to Baton Rouge during the program's Spring Camp where he had an opportunity to soak in the scenes of campus with LSU chipping away.

Louisiana is home to multiple Top-100 wide receivers in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle with Calais quickly emerging as a name to know on the program's board.

After a stellar sophomore campaign in 2024, all eyes are on the Cecilia (La.) athlete with the Bayou Bengals intensifying their pursuit across his junior season.

Now, the focus is on locking the four-star receiver in for the 2027 Recruiting Class with the LSU Tigers trending.
