LSU Football’s 2025 Recruiting Efforts

Brian Kelly and the LSU football team are intensifying their efforts on two 2025 recruits who will decide in August. Currently, LSU boasts the third-best recruiting class in the nation, and it might grow even more.

Bryce Underwood: A Generational Talent

Leading the class is Bryce Underwood, ranked first in 2025. He is considered a “generational” talent. Now, could another star be joining him?

Two Key Prospects Leaning Towards LSU

Let’s look at two 2025 prospects who are leaning towards LSU:

Phillip Wright: Top Louisiana Receiver

• Phillip Wright is a three-star receiver from Destrehan, Louisiana.
• He recently decommitted from Michigan after pledging to them in July.
• LSU is making a strong push to recruit him.

Wright stands 5-foot-11 and weighs 160 pounds. He visited LSU in late July during the Bayou Splash event, where LSU intensified their efforts. His performance last season made him a sought-after recruit, leading to many top programs offering him scholarships. Despite being committed to Michigan, LSU kept chasing him. Now, they’re in a strong position.

CJ Jimcoily: Four-Star Safety

• CJ Jimcoily is a four-star safety from Nashville, Tennessee.
• He is considering LSU and Stanford.
• He has already visited LSU and remains interested.

Jimcoily’s father is from New Orleans, and he still has family in Louisiana, giving LSU a significant edge. LSU’s safeties coach, Jake Olsen, is heavily involved in recruiting Jimcoily.

Jimcoily is 6-foot-3 and weighs 210 pounds. He is gearing up for a big senior year at Lipscomb Academy. With a list of offers, it’s now just LSU and Stanford in the running, and LSU is gaining momentum.
