LSU football trending to land one of 2026's top wide receiver recruits
LSU football trending to land one of 2026's top wide receiver recruits Two prominent On3 writers have logged predictions for LSU football to land one of the top wide receivers in the 2026 recruiting class. According to Chad Simmons and Steve Wiltfong, LSU is the leader for four-star wide receiver Ethan "Boobie" Feaster. Simmons and Wiltfong made the call as Feaster was finishing up a weekend visit at LSU. Feaster was originally a member of the 2027 recruiting class before reclassifying to 2026. Despite reclassifying, Feaster remains among the top-ranked players in the class. Per the On3 Industry Rankings, Feaster is the No. 4 ranked recruit at his position. ESPN and Rivals both rank Feaster as the No. 3 wide receiver in the class. Feaster, a Texas native, plays for DeSoto High School, a Texas football powerhouse. Feaster's recruitment is far from over and LSU will have to fend off the Texas schools who will continue to push for Feaster's services. LSU's 2026 class currently ranks atop the SEC and No. 3 in the country. Feaster would be the second wide receiver in LSU's class, joining four-star Louisiana product Kenny Darby.

Nevertheless, offers have been going out in waves over the last few weeks. The Huskers have made it a point to emphasize recruiting in this class, with multiple visits scheduled for this summer. Matt Rhule and the Nebraska football coaching staff have historically recruited well in the state of Texas. One has to wonder if that will help them in this recruitment.

Had a great conversation with @Bullough40 im Blessed to recieve an offer from @NDFootball!! @Marcus_Freeman1 @akili_smith @ND_CalebDavis @rashadbobino44 @Coach_Ware @WRAB50 @CyRanchFB @247Hudson @GregBiggins @adamgorney @ChadSimmons_ @CraigHaubert @mtorressports @BrandonHuffman — Calvin Thomas (@Calvin_Thomas08) February 21, 2025 The 6-foot, 3-inch and 210-pound Texan isn't currently ranked right now, but that shouldn't be the case as he has over 25 reported offers from some major programs. Thomas has the exact size that you are looking for in a linebacker, and the Irish should make a big push for his commitment. 4-star ATH Joey O'Brien has locked in official visits to Penn State, Clemson, Notre Dame, Oregon, Tennessee and Ohio State, @SWiltfong_ reports✈️Read: — On3 Recruits (@On3Recruits) February 22, 2025 The Irish have O'Brien's attention, but so do multiple other schools. He's scheduled visits to five of them this spring, with South Bend being one of his destinations. At 6-foot, 3-inches and 185-pounds, O'Brien should end up as a safety at the next level.

NEWS: Elite 4-star cornerback Dorian Barney has trimmed his list of contenders down to 12, he tells me for @RivalsWith a commitment on the horizon, a few contenders are trending at the top with the touted DB target. The latest: — Sam Spiegelman (@samspiegs) February 22, 2025 The 6-foot, 1-inch and 180-pound Georgia corner has now trimmed his list to 12 schools, and while that might seem like it's insignificant, it isn't. You don't pass up on a prospect like him, one who's the No. 76 overall player, and Notre Dame should keep up its recruitment of Barney. I want to thank God for all the blessings he has poured upon me. I want to thank my family and friends for all the support and love you have given me. It has been a long and difficult process, but after prayers and discussions with my family, I'm home. 🏠 @FoundersEdits — Simote Katoanga (@Motekatoanga) February 23, 2025 This one hurts on two levels, as the 6-foot, 5-inch and 240-pound star opted to stay home and play for the rival USC Trojans. After having success recruiting linebacker Madden Faraimo, a former high school teammate, the Irish just couldn't get Katoanga to leave the state.
