LSU football’s wide receiver room is among the best in the SEC. The Tigers had to rebuild after losing four of their top five leading receivers from 2024, but LSU signed transfer portal receivers Barion Brown and Nic Anderson. Both were ranked among the best wide receivers in the portal.
LSU also secured the return of Aaron Anderson, LSU’s leading receiver. Expectations are high for the group entering 2025. With Garrett Nussmeier at quarterback, the LSU passing attack should be one of the most prolific in college football.
That’s the standard at LSU. The program that produced Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas, and Odell Beckham expects its wide receiver room to be top notch. LSU might not have a bonafide superstar in this group, but its loaded with talent.
Here’s a look at how we expect LSU’s wide receivers to produce in 2025.

Brown, who spent the first three years of his career at Kentucky, was one of the top-ranked players in the transfer portal. According to the On3 Industry Rankings, Brown was the No. 16 overall player and No. 5-ranked wide receiver in the transfer class.
This is a guady projection for Brown. He didn’t put up big numbers at Kentucky, only catching 29 passes for 361 yards in 2024. But Kentucky’s passing game was dormant with poor quarterback and offensive line play. Now at LSU, Brown is surrounded by talent.
Garrett Nussmeier is one of the best quarterbacks in the country, and Brown will have a chance to be LSU’s feature wide receiver. Brown’s talent was obvious when he burst on the scene with 625 yards as a true freshman in 2022. With elite speed in an aggressive offense, Brown will surpass 1,000 yards in 2025.
