LSU Football: No. 5 Wide Receiver in America to Visit Baton Rouge
The LSU Tigers are making a concerted effort to recruit highly sought-after wide receiver Jaime Ffrench, who has been in high demand throughout the spring with visits to various top football programs.
Following a series of unofficial visits to prominent schools across the country, Ffrench has confirmed an official visit to Baton Rouge scheduled for June 1, according to sources cited by LSU Country. This visit was first reported by On3’s Chad Simmons.
Ranked as the No. 5 wide receiver nationally and a Top 30 prospect in the 2025 recruiting cycle, Ffrench has attracted interest from numerous programs.
The LSU coaching staff, led by Brian Kelly, will have the opportunity to make a strong impression on Ffrench during his official visit, marking the first official visit on his schedule.
The Visit Schedule:
LSU: June 1
Miami: June 7
Tennessee: June 13
Texas: June 21
With Ffrench locked in for an official visit, who else is on LSU’s 2025 Wide Receiver Big Board?
The Wide Receiver Big Board:
Dakorien Moore: No. 1 Wide Receiver in America
Despite ongoing efforts from other schools like Texas, Oregon, and Ohio State to sway him from his commitment, Moore has remained steadfast in his pledge to LSU since announcing it in August 2023. While he admits to enjoying the recruitment process, Moore has maintained loyalty to Brian Kelly and the Tigers.
Recently, Moore visited Ohio State instead of attending LSU’s Spring Game, prompting speculation about his commitment. However, he swiftly reassured fans by affirming his unwavering dedication to LSU, declaring himself “1000% committed.”
As the December signing day approaches, LSU remains vigilant, knowing that other schools will continue their pursuit until Moore officially signs with the Tigers.
Kaliq Lockett: No. 2 Wide Receiver in America
Last Friday, Lockett arrived in Baton Rouge accompanied by Bryce Underwood, the nation’s top quarterback, for a weekend stay, indicating the growing interest in LSU’s program. Sources suggest that Lockett’s visit went exceptionally well, leading to increased consideration of the Tigers.
Excitingly, Lockett is scheduled for an official visit to LSU from May 31 to June 2, where he will be joined by other highly sought-after prospects, notably DJ Pickett, the No. 1 cornerback in the 2025 recruiting cycle.
With Lockett showing continued interest in LSU, the Bayou Bengals are gaining momentum in their pursuit of his commitment, setting the stage for a competitive recruitment battle.
Additionally, LSU hosted Caleb Cunningham, the No. 3 wide receiver in the nation, this spring, alongside several top recruits. Cunningham’s return to campus was met with positivity, fueling speculation about a potential official visit to Baton Rouge in the near future.-.รค

A few notes:
Wide receiver coach Cortez Hankton proved his recruiting prowess last offseason by securing an impressive haul of wide receiver talent, and it appears he’s aiming for another successful recruiting cycle. With commitments from the top wide receiver prospect already in hand and the No. 2 wideout scheduled for an official visit, Hankton’s recruiting strategy seems to be paying dividends in the South.
LSU has emerged as a prominent destination for the top wide receiver prospects in the nation, with Moore, Cunningham, and Lockett all considering the Tigers as they plan their official visit schedules for the upcoming summer and fall.

While the Texas Longhorns and Oregon Ducks pose as competitors for Moore’s commitment, LSU’s ability to secure his pledge thus far serves as a significant advantage for the Bayou Bengals in the recruiting battle.
Additionally, LSU has already secured a commitment from TaRon Francis, the top wide receiver prospect in Louisiana. Francis is highly coveted by various programs, and LSU’s early commitment from him underscores their commitment to locking down top in-state talent.
