INSIGHT

Junior Day Sets LSU Recruiting Momentum

LSU's first junior day visit weekend matters because it's the program's first major in-person recruiting window since January and before spring ball starts March 24.
Shea Dixon highlights Ahmad Hudson (nation's No.1 TE) and local DB prospect Brajean Melasson as key visitors shaping momentum.

INSIGHT

Ahmad Hudson Is A High Priority Recruit

Ahmad Hudson is the nation's top tight end and a multi-sport athlete from Ruston with offers in football and basketball.
Shea Dixon says Hudson has ties to LSU staff and told Rivals he'll announce July 4, with LSU among his final six.

INSIGHT

Corey Raymond's Sleeper DB Strategy

LSU's defensive back staff, led by Corey Raymond, targets under-the-radar Louisiana athletes who excel in other sports.
Shea Dixon points to Brajean Melasson (track triple jumper, multi-sport) as a potential sleeper LSU could develop.

LSU is set to host a massive Junior Day in Baton Rouge, and the headliner is clear: nation’s No. 1 tight end Ahmad Hudson out of Ruston. Can Lane Kiffin and his staff make a strong early impression and put the Tigers in position to land one of the top players in the country?

It’s not just Hudson. Sleeper cornerback Bre’Jon Melancon will also be on campus, and there’s growing buzz he could be the next great defensive back find — the type LSU fans have come to expect from Corey Raymond. We break down the key visitors, what this weekend means for LSU recruiting momentum, and which names to watch moving forward.

Plus, the conversation around LSU basketball just got real again. Will Wade’s NC State team was eliminated in the First Four by Texas, and now the door is officially open. Will LSU make a serious push to bring Wade back to Baton Rouge? What would it take, and how likely is it?

We’ve got the latest intel, recruiting insights, and coaching chatter — all in one episode of Locked On LSU.
