LSU football’s 2023 recruiting class ranked No. 5 in college football. The class featured one five-star and 16 four-stars, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. The average signee had a rating of 91.20, putting LSU in the top 10 nationally.
It was the first class Brian Kelly’s staff recruited and signed at LSU and featured a load of talent homegrown in Louisiana.
But LSU is yet to get much from the group. Five of the top six ranked recruits in the class transferred. Lance Heard and DaShawn Womack, the headliners, are at Tennessee and Ole Miss, respectively. Neither claimed a full-time role while at LSU.
When you scroll past the top six, you’ll see even more players that hit the transfer portal. Ka’Morreun Pimpton, Kylin Jackson, Rickie Collins, Mac Markway, and Ryan Yaites were all blue-chip recruits. All left LSU.
From the group that did stick around, few players have emerged as difference-makers. Javien Toviano is the top-rated recruit from the class still with LSU. He’s flashed, but he was a depth piece in 2024. The same could be said for running back Kaleb Jackson.
But all hope is not lost. A handful of talented players from the 2023 signing class remain on the roster with a chance to break out in 2025, including Toviano and Jackson. We’ll look at five players who signed in 2023 with a chance to make a difference for LSU this fall.
Tyree Adams
Adams was a four-star and the No. 195 overall ranked recruit in On3’s Industry Rankings. He took a redshirt and only played three offensive snaps as a true freshman in 2023. In 2024, he got a chance as LSU struggled to find consistency after Garrett Dellinger’s injury at guard.
Adams played 139 snaps in 2024, posting a 53.6 offensive grade, per PFF. Adams was thrown into the fire vs. SEC defensive lines and growing pains were evident.
