LSU Football Competing with National Powerhouses for Four-Star Safety Recruit
LSU football, led by defensive coordinator Blake Baker, is vigorously pursuing top defensive recruits to rebuild their defense for the upcoming seasons. A major focus in their recruiting efforts is securing commitments from elite players like four-star safety CJ Jimcoily from the class of 2025.
Top Contender for Elite Recruit
Recently, LSU was named one of the top four schools for CJ Jimcoily, a highly sought-after safety with offers from numerous prestigious programs. Jimcoily’s top-four choices include Alabama, LSU, Stanford, and Tennessee.
Upcoming Visit and Recruiting Strategy
The Tigers’ class of 2025 currently has three defensive commitments, but this could change significantly as official visit season approaches. Jimcoily, a standout from Nashville, TN, is scheduled to visit Baton Rouge from June 14 to June 16. This visit follows an unofficial trip he made to LSU in March.
Recruiting Competition and Player Profile
Despite receiving an offer from LSU on January 24, 2024, later than some other contenders, Jimcoily has shown considerable interest in the Tigers. Ranked No. 363 nationally and No. 32 among safeties by 247Sports, he boasts offers from over 30 programs, including nine SEC schools. At 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, Jimcoily has primarily played as a cornerback in high school but is projected to transition to safety in college due to his size and tackling ability.
Potential Impact on LSU’s Recruiting Class
The LSU football class of 2025 is currently ranked No. 2 nationally and No. 1 in the SEC. Adding Jimcoily to their roster would further enhance their defensive unit, which already includes four-star cornerback Jaboree Antoine and four-star linebackers Keylan Moses and Charles Ross.
### Conclusion
LSU is in a fierce competition with top programs like Alabama, Stanford, and Tennessee to secure four-star safety CJ Jimcoily. His potential commitment would be a significant boost to LSU’s already strong 2025 recruiting class, reinforcing their defense with high-caliber talent.
