No. 1 Cornerback in America Set to Visit LSU Football for Weekend Trip

Gardena (Calif.) Junipero Serrra five-star cornerback Duvay Williams remains one of the most coveted defensive backs on the market in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle.

Williams, the No. 1 cornerback in America, is coming off of a standout sophomore campaign after quickly becoming a household name on the West Coast.

Now, he's garnered the attention of the top programs in the country with the LSU Tigers and others entering the mix.

The 6-foot-1, 178-pounder attains the tall, long build that LSU defensive backs coach Corey Raymond is looking for with the Tigers turning up the heat.

Williams and Raymond remain in contact with the LSU program now securing a visit from the top-ranked cornerback.

He'll be in Baton Rouge this weekend for an unofficial visit to campus alongside an impressive Visitors List for Spring Camp practice.

The California native is a player that is bursting with talent in the rising junior class and ranks as a Top-3 prospect nationally, according to 247Sports.

Williams is one of two coveted cornerbacks that have locked in visits to Baton Rouge this offseason as Corey Raymond continues his rebuild of "DBU" in Death Valley.

Elbert Hill: Top-Five Cornerback in America [2026]

Akron (Ohio) Archbishop Hoban four-star cornerback Elbert Hill is in the midst of a critical offseason as he continues working through his recruitment process as one of the top defensive backs in America.

Hill, the No. 4 rated cornerback in the 2026 Recruiting Cycle, flaunts an offer list with the "Who's Who" of college football extending scholarships his way.

For Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers, the program officially offered Hill a scholarship in late February after making the call to the Ohio native.

A prospect that has begun locking in a visit schedule for both the spring and summer, the Bayou Bengals have entered the mix with force after being late to offer.

The Alabama Crimson Tide, Oregon Ducks, USC Trojans and the hometown Ohio State Buckeyes are four schools to monitor, according to On3 Sports' Chad Simmons, but the LSU Tigers will now look to make up ground.

Ohio State is currently viewed as the favorite to land the top-ranked defensive back with others surging in his recruitment.

Now, Kelly and Co. will look to work their way into his process as a program that can make a splash late.

On Tuesday afternoon, Hill revealed an official visit schedule that included the LSU Tigers. He will be in Baton Rouge on May 30 to begin a multi-day stay on campus.
