After the recent decommitment of receiver Dakorien Moore, who pledged to Oregon last week, LSU is back on the hunt to bolster its 2025 recruiting class with a top-tier receiver. The Tigers will have another opportunity to secure a prized recruit on Saturday as four-star Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) receiver Derek Meadows is set to announce his college decision.
Meadows, the No. 47 overall prospect and No. 7 receiver according to On3 industry rankings, has Notre Dame as the perceived frontrunner. However, LSU has gained significant momentum in the race. According to Zack Nagy of LSU Country, the Tigers are “surging” for Meadows following his official visit to Baton Rouge earlier this summer.
Meadows will be choosing between LSU, Notre Dame, Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan. His decision could significantly impact LSU’s recruiting efforts, as the Tigers aim for a top-five class in 2025. With a pair of industry five-stars already committed, landing a top-50 prospect like Meadows at a critical position would be a substantial boost.
LSU’s coaching staff has been working tirelessly to address the vacancy left by Moore’s departure, and Meadows’ potential commitment would be a key addition to their receiver corps. The decision on Saturday will be closely watched, as it could shape the future of LSU’s offense and strengthen their 2025 recruiting class.
