LSU hosts elite 2027 WR and will get another high profile receiver on campus

While the 2026 recruiting class is the main focus right now, the LSU Football program will start building relationships with the top recruits in the 2027 recruiting class while hosting them on unofficial visits. This weekend, Cortez Hankton got to host the top recruit in the 2027 class Monshun Sales just weeks after he named LSU as one of the programs standing out to him.

Cortez Hankton will look to remain red hot on the recruiting trail, especially in the 2027 recruiting class as LSU already has a trio of receivers committed in the 2026 class. Hankton will get to pitch another top 2027 wide receiver in the near future as elite wide receiver Julian Caldwell will visit LSU on June 12th.

The Tigers will quickly have the chance to improve their standing with Drew Evers as he'll be on campus this weekend for an official visit.

As the Summer arrives, the LSU Football team got the rest of its Freshman class moved into their dorms this weekend ahead of the start of Summer camp. The Tigers have a veteran roster, so none of the late enrollees are expected to make an instant impact, but each player could work their way into a role during the season.
