It's a 2025 class that saw the Bayou Bengals add an embarrassment of riches on both sides of the ball with DJ Pickett, the No. 1 rated cornerback in America, headlining the haul.

On3 released its final recruiting rankings for the 2025 cycle on Thursday, and LSU signee TaRon Francis was a beneficiary. The wide receiver went from 212th in the country to 89th. Francis is now On3's No. 13 ranked wide receiver in the cycle, and No. 4 ranked recruit in Louisiana.

LSU football is predicted to land 2027's top tight end recruit, according to On3. Ahmad Hudson is expected to commit to the Tigers, per On3's Steve Wiltfong. He says head coach Brian Kelly has increased momentum with Hudson, putting them ahead of a host of SEC schools.
