Breaking News: Tigers Set To Host No. 3 WR in America For Visit
The LSU Tigers are set to host highly sought-after wide receiver Kaliq Lockett for a visit to Baton Rouge, marking a crucial moment in their recruitment efforts for the 2025 class. Lockett, ranked as the third-best wide receiver prospect in the nation, hails from Sachse, Texas, standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 175 pounds.
Scheduled for April 12th, Lockett’s visit to Baton Rouge coincides with the Spring Game weekend, providing him with the opportunity to engage with key prospects from both the 2025 and 2026 recruiting cycles. This visit comes after Lockett’s recent trips to Texas A&M and TCU in January, with four additional visits lined up for this spring.
– Florida State
– Ohio State
– Penn State
– LSU (April 12)
LSU’s wide receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator, Cortez Hankton, has intensified his efforts to secure Lockett’s commitment.
Ranked among the top five wide receivers in the 2025 recruitment cycle, Lockett received an offer from LSU last autumn, and since then, the university has escalated its pursuit of this highly sought-after prospect.
With their current recruiting class holding the top spot in the 2025 cycle, featuring standout players like Bryce Underwood (the No. 1 quarterback), Harlem Berry (the No. 1 running back), and Dakorien Moore (the No. 1 wide receiver), LSU is aiming to bolster its lineup by adding Lockett.
Acquiring Lockett’s talents would further enhance LSU’s already impressive 2025 class, positioning the program for a potentially historic recruiting success in the upcoming cycle.
Furthermore, LSU has already secured a commitment from Moore, the top-rated wide receiver in the 2025 class.
A look into what the Tigers are getting in Moore:
Advanced Route Running
Even though Moore is just starting his junior year of high school, his route-running skills are already exceptional for his age. He moves with fluidity and can quickly accelerate, traits that contributed to his standout performance during his sophomore year at Duncanville in 2022.
Moore’s advanced abilities were further displayed during summer camps, particularly in 7-on-7 competitions, where he consistently troubled cornerbacks. Despite appearing covered at times, Moore’s agility and quick reactions enable him to create separation effortlessly, allowing him to consistently make impactful plays.
Changing Gears
This month, LSU secured commitments from Caden Durham and Jelani Watkins for its 2024 recruiting class, both of whom will also compete in track and field for the Tigers. Now, they’ve added another track and field standout in Moore.
As a five-star wide receiver, Moore excels in open space, but what sets him apart is his remarkable ability to change pace seamlessly, especially when accelerating vertically. With his agility off the line of scrimmage, defenders struggle to keep up once Moore sets his sights downfield.
Ball Skills
Moore possesses the skill to precisely track the ball at its highest point and isn’t afraid to use his physicality to secure catches even when contested, a trait he consistently demonstrates. Standing around 5-foot-11 to 6 feet tall, he might not be LSU’s go-to option for jump balls, but he’s reliable when it comes to making difficult catches.
Entering his junior season, Moore’s hands are already highly developed, a quality he showcased throughout his sophomore year. As a downfield target, he has the potential for significant yards per catch if utilized effectively. Moore’s ability to vary his pace, create separation vertically, and make himself available as a target will provide LSU with another top-tier wide receiver prospect for the future.
