Updated 2027 Class Targets

After a massive last 48 hours for the 2027 recruiting class, jumping from 51st on 247, to 17th, and jumping up to 9th on Rivals, LSU still has plenty of big fish left to go after.

Something to keep an eye on, is of the 5 recruits to commit in the last 2 days, 4 of them came out of nowhere within the last couple of weeks. There was no smoke on Whitehead, Segarra, and Siale, basically until the last week. There was no smoke on Smith until a couple of weeks ago.

Remaining Targets:

#1 Overall, #1 DL, Jalen Brewster (TT Commit)

#6 Overall, #1 WR, Easton Royal (Texas Commit)

#8 Overall, #2 WR, Monshun Sales (IU, Ohio St, LSU, Texas, Bama)

#14 Overall, #2 IOL, Albert Simien (LSU, ND, A&M, Nebraska)

#22 Overall, #1 LB, Kaden Henderson (ND, Miami, LSU)

#41 Overall, #3 ATH, Xaiver Sabb (LSU, Bama, Tennessee, Oregon, UCLA)

#122 Overall, #13 OT, Kelsey Adams (UGA Commit)

#157 Overall, #18 CB, Brandon Sherrard (LSU, Texas, Miami, Missouri)

#278 Overall, #25 OT, Kal-El Johnson (Ohio St, LSU, GA Tech)

#318 Overall, #27 S, Jayden Anding (LSU, Ole Miss, Kansas St)

#346 Overall, #31 S, Karon Eugene (LSU, AZ St, Houston)

#1,181 Overall, #117 S, Mason Moore (Ole Miss Commit)

These rankings are based off of 247’s rankings.

My predictions on this group are, LSU lands

Easton Royal
Albert Simien
Kelsey Adams
Brandon Sherrard
Jayden Anding
One of Eugene or Moore

LSU falls short on

Brewster
Sales
Henderson
Sabb
Johnson

A lot of alluding to a recruiting “nuke” coming up, and IMO that has to be a guy like Royal, Simien, Brewster, Henderson, or Sales.

If I missed any current targets, feel free to let me know and I will add to the OP.
