LSU makes progress with blue-chip receiver from St. Louis – Yahoo Sports

After a visit to LSU, four-star receiver Jeremiah McClellan is impressed.

According to On3, LSU is now near the top of McClellans list. McClellan told On3 hes a fan of wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton and his track record of development.

McClellan has four stars from all four major recruiting services. 247Sports is the highest on his ability right now, slating McClellan as the 17th-best wide receiver in the 2024 class and the fourth-best player in the state of Missouri.

LSU has competition here. Ohio State is also recruiting the blue-chip receiver and the Buckeyes rarely miss when recruiting pass catchers.

Brian Kelly and staff made it a point to recruit the St. Louis area when taking over at LSU.

Kelly, having spent a decade at Notre Dame, is familiar with the midwest, and LSU cornerbacks coach Robert Steeples is a fixture in the St. Louis high school football community.

Last cycle, LSU landed tight end Mac Markway from Missouri. LSU defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo is also from the area and transferred to LSU after beginning his career at Missouri.
