The LSU Football team is moving full steam ahead this offseason as the Tigers are focusing on building out its 2026 recruiting class while also putting the finishing touches on the transfer portal class. As of late LSU's class took a jump to the 4th ranked class in the Country and the 2nd best class in the SEC after Top-100 recruit JaReylan McCoy committed to LSU during the All American Bowl.
The latest good news comes to LSU as In-State Wide Receiver Jabari Mack named LSU one of his top ten schools.

According to On3's Industry Recruiting Rankings, Jabari Mack is the 78th ranked player in the class, the 14th ranked Wide Receiver, and the 6th ranked player out of Louisiana. Mack plays for Destrehan which has been a school which has given LSU great success as the Tigers just signed Destrehan's Phillip Wright and Jhase Thomas while two-star wide receiver Justin Jefferson worked out pretty well for LSU.
The Tigers have had their most success with wide receivers out of Louisiana and thus far the Tigers have landed a pair of commitments from In-State Receivers Kenny Darby and Jakai Anderson.
For Cortez Hankton, landing Jabari Mack is one of the most important recruits to land this recruiting cycle. LSU already has two of his teammates on board and developed Justin Jefferson into one of the best receivers in the NFL. If LSU is going to continue to miss out on the top Out of State receivers, landing the top players in state becomes a much bigger priority.
The Tigers hosted Jabari Mack three times throughout this season for games and will look to have him on campus during the offseason, he's talked about committing early a ton so it's important that LSU stays on Mack until Signing Day.
