LSU Tigers Hosting Three Five-Star Talents In Huge Recruiting Weekend

The LSU Tigers have a major recruiting weekend ahead as they are bringing in a handful of huge names on official visits.

As things currently stand for the 2027 recruiting class, the Tigers fall to No. 45 overall on the 247Sports recruiting rankings. It's more about quantity than quality right now, though. LSU has four four-stars and one five-star currently committed, but is on the cusp of adding a few more elite recruits.

The Tigers have been aggressive in going after top players. It's the reason that Lane Kiffin came to Baton Rouge, after all. Being able to lock in any of the players they bring in this weekend would be massive.

Several top players will be in town, but three of them are five-stars on the 247Sports composite rankings. Here are the names to watch this weekend:

Not only is Brewster a five star in the 247Sports composite rankings, but he's the No. 1 overall player in the entire country. He's currently committed to the Texas Tech Red Raiders, but that isn't slowing LSU down in their pursuit.

The 6-foot-3 300-pound defensive lineman is an incredible athlete and could be yet another early contributor in that room. The Tigers added three of the best interior defenders in last year's recruiting class, Brewster would fit in well.

Perhaps that could be looked at as over-committing resources into a non-premium position (wide receiver, quarterback, cornerback, etc.), but no one will be complaining if LSU puts together the best defense in the country.

The talk about Royal going to the Tigers has been nonstop for the past few weeks. It makes sense that he would be one of, if not their single biggest target right now.

Securing in-state talent is one of the biggest keys to winning at LSU and Kiffin knows it. Royal is the best player out of the state in this class, which makes him a crucial get. Tigers fans should be well acquainted with him by now. He's an elite track athlete, high-effort player, versatile and should quickly become a star in college.

Royal isn't the only five-star wideout who will be in Baton Rouge this weekend. It's good for LSU to keep their options open and target a guy who isn't currently committed to another school.

Sabb is a 6-foot-1, 180-pound athlete out of New Jersey. He's the No. 2 listed athlete in the nation and is ranked behind five wide receivers at No. 31 on the overall list. He is an amazing athlete and will be able to change the game in many ways. He'll be a very exciting piece to Kiffin's offense.

He could also end up on defense as a safety, but it feels like he is destined to land on offense.
