LSU Adds WR Justin Jefferson To The 2017 Recruiting Class

Destrehan La. wide receiver Justin Jefferson has joined LSU's 2017 Recruiting class and will report to campus soon to join other members of last year’s signing class.

Justin, who's brother's Jordan and Rickey both played at LSU, did not sign with a school due to his grades but has qualified academically after finishing his senior year this past May. Per SEC Country:

It was a bit of a transition having been first recruited by Dameyune Craig and now Mickey Joseph. However, Joseph and head man Ed Orgeron remained in regular communication with both Jefferson and the Destrehan High coaches to pounce on the wide receiver as soon as he qualified academically.

“Relief, relief, relief,” Jefferson admitted. “It’s hard not knowing if you’re going to finish out the year at the beginning. Now that it’s at the end, knowing I had all the grades, it’s just relieving.”
