The LSU football program continued building on its 2023 recruiting class over the weekend. On Friday night, five-star wide receiver Jalen Brown from Gulliver Prep in Miami, Florida announced his verbal pledge for the Tigers over Florida State, Michigan, Texas A-and-M and Miami. 24-7 sports ranks Brown as the fourth best wide receiver in the country.

And then on Saturday, LSU added its 14th verbal commitment for the class of 2023 with a verbal pledge from three-star linebacker Whit Weeks from Watkinsville, Georgia. He’s the younger brother of LSU linebacker West Weeks, who transferred to LSU after appearing in 11 games for Virginia last season. Their father, David West, is a former three-year starter on the offensive line for Georgia in the early 1990s.

According to 24-7 sports, LSU’s 2023 recruiting class is ranked as the ninth best in the country and there’s possibility the Tigers will pick up a coupe more commitments this week.
