LSU Football offers an elite safety recruit that could play receiver at LSU

As the High School football season continues and the Coaches now have more film to judge recruits on, we'll see a ton of offers handed out to recruits in the 2025, 2026, and 2027 recruiting classes. Given the rosters in college football will expand by twenty scholarships next season, we are going to see schools offer a ton of scholarships as they'll have to sign bigger recruiting classes.

The LSU Football team has been busy evaluating players this season as the staff have extended several offers to recruits Ladarian Clardy, Tobi Haastrup, and Chase Linton among several others. This week, LSU extended a scholarship offer to four-star safety Elijah Dotson:

Dotson is currently committed to the Pitt Panthers as a safety recruit but, that's likely not the position he'd play at LSU. On offense at Belleville High School, Dotson plays wide receiver and he catches his passes from none other than Bryce Underwood.

It won't necessarily be easy for LSU to flip Elijah Dotson as Pitt was the first program to offer him and has recruited him longer than anyone. Helping LSU however is the fact that Underwood likely pushed for this scholarship offer and he'll be in Dotson's ear about flipping to LSU everyday.

There's still a need at wide receiver in this class

The LSU Football team has done a solid job with getting wide receivers on board in this class landing TaRon Francis, Derek Meadows, and Phillip Wright. Given how often these rosters turn over with the transfer portal and losing players to the NFL draft, realistically the LSU Football team needs to come away from signing day and the transfer portal with at least five receivers. Getting a player like Dotson on board who already has a rapport with Bryce Underwood would be massive in both of their developments.
