The LSU Football program is set to make one last recruiting push prior to the February 3rd recruiting dead period. The Tigers coaching staff has been racking up frequent flyer miles as they've traveled the Country visiting some of the top recruits in the Country along with offering scholarships to others.

This weekend, the LSU Football team hosts its first Junior Day of the Year where the Tigers will host some of their top targets in the 2026 and 2027 recruiting classes. While the Tigers main focus is building up the 5th ranked 2026 recruiting class, building the 2027 recruiting class which hasn't landed a commitment yet is also a priority.

The Tigers got great news in regards to the 2027 recruiting class this week as On3's Steve Wiltfong predicted that LSU will land elite tight end recruit Ahmad Hudson the Top Tight End in the 2027 class who will be in town this weekend.

The Tigers continue their 2027 Recruiting Push as LSU will get Linebacker Ellis McGaskin on campus this weekend.

According to On3, Ellis McGaskin is the 27th ranked recruit in the Country, the top linebacker in the class, and the top player out of Alabama. Luring McGaskin out of Alabama will be difficult but, it is a great sign that McGaskin will spend this weekend in Baton Rouge rather than Tuscaloosa.

The Tigers offered McGaskin back in October right after LSU knocked off the Ole Miss Rebels in an overtime thriller. Getting Ellis McGaskin back on campus this weekend while LSU will have all of its 2026 commits on campus is massive as it'll only help LSU's chances as he builds a relationship with the staff and the LSU commits. Blake Baker has quickly proven he's an elite recruiter at LSU and landing the Nation's top linebacker would be another feather in his cap.
