Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff sent shockwaves across the college recruiting scene on Sunday after adding a commitment from former Texas Longhorns pledge Kade Phillips.
The Missouri City (Tex.) Hightower star flipped his pledge from Steve Sarkisian’s program to the Bayou Bengals after a critical recruiting battle.
Now, with the addition of Phillips to the 2025 class, secondary coach Corey Raymond has landed commitments from a pair of Top 10 cornerbacks in the current cycle.
Phillips, the No. 7 rated corner in America, joins DJ Pickett, the No. 1 ranked defensive back, as verbal pledges to the LSU Tigers.
It’s a recruiting haul that has the chance to change to program for the foreseeable future.
The Rundown, per On3 Sports: “Bryce Underwood made an immediate impact on the varsity level as a freshman at Belleville (Michigan) High School. Underwood threw for 2,888 yards and 39 touchdowns with only four interceptions. He also added six rushing scores in his freshman season to lead Belleville to a state championship. Underwood was named the Michigan Associated Press Division 1-2 Player of the Year after the stellar first season. He then led Belleville to a perfect 14-0 record and another state title in 2022. Underwood threw for 2,762 yards and 37 touchdowns as a sophomore. To make things even more impressive, Underwood could technically be a 2026 prospect, but he’s completing school early as part of the 2025 class.”
