New Orleans (La.) Brother Martin five-star wide receiver Easton Royal is set for a busy fall with multiple unofficial visits on the docket for the Bayou State star.

Royal, the No. 2 wideout in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle, has emerged as one of the most prized recruits in America with the "Who's Who" of college football getting in on the action.

The 5-foot-11, 185-pounder has earned offers from the likes of the Ole Miss Rebels, LSU Tigers, Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns, Baylor Bears, Michigan Wolverines, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Washington Huskies, among several others.

The Louisiana native has stacked multiple new offers to his list of scholarships this month with the North Carolina Tar Heels, Oklahoma Sooners, and Georgia Bulldogs entering the race.

It's no secret why the top schools in the nation are battling for the coveted wide receiver out of New Orleans (La.).

During his sophomore campaign in 2024, Easton was a Catholic League All-District First-Team selection with more than 1,100 all-purpose yards for the Brother Martin Crusaders. He also logged double-digit touchdowns.

For Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels, the program got in early on the action for Royal with the program emerging as an early school in the race.

Royal has visited Oxford (Miss.) across his time on the recruiting scene with the staff beginning to develop an early relationship.

Now, Royal is beginning to lock in unofficial visits with a trip to Columbus (Ohio) on the docket for this weekend where he will check in with the defending National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes.

Ohio State will host one of the top matchups of the weekend with Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns heading to town in a Top-10 showdown.
