As LSU hosts its final home game of the season, it is a massive opportunity for the LSU Football team to finish off a loaded 2025 recruiting class. The Tigers are mostly focusing on keeping this class intact this weekend getting the last crack at DJ Pickett while Wide Receiver Derek Meadows canceled his visit to Baton Rouge.
The biggest news for LSU is that they'll get one last chance at keeping Jahkeem Stewart in State as he's visiting for tonight's game against Oklahoma.
The surprise visitor is in: 5-star DL Jahkeem Stewart has arrived in Baton Rouge for another unofficial visit.

This is massive news for LSU as Stewart canceled his visit to Ohio State this weekend as this recruitment nears its end. The Tigers are one of four teams still pushing for Stewart along with Oregon, USC, and Ohio State. Earlier this week, Stewart was predicted to commit to USC as the Trojans have been pushing for Stewart.

According to On3's Industry Recruiting Rankings Stewart is the 16th best player in the class, the third ranked defensive lineman, and the top player in Louisiana.
While it seems that Jahkeem Stewart is leaning towards going out of state, the LSU Football team getting the last game visit with Stewart is a massive development. This weekend Frank Wilson will get one last chance to pitch Stewart on staying in Louisiana.
If LSU misses out on Jahkeem Stewart they still have a loaded class of defensive linemen. Ponying up a ton of money for Stewart is a tough decision as he'll likely need some time to develop as he's only played 10 games in his high school career. At the end of the day, if LSU has the money to pay a player like Jahkeem Stewart to kepe him In-State, the Tigers have to do it. Landing Jahkeem Stewart would give the Tigers another five-star commit and a loaded class from top to bottom on the defensive side of the Football.
