The college football world is turning its eyes toward Memphis, where four‑star wide receiver Lawrence Britt is set to announce his college choice on Thursday night, a moment that will be streamed live on CBS Sports' College Football YouTube channel.
The Countdown Begins
Ranked 233rd overall in the 2027 class by 247Sports, Britt arrives with a blend of size and production that has drawn attention from programs coast to coast.
During his junior season at Lausanne Collegiate School, he caught 44 passes for 696 yards and 12 touchdowns, while also adding 299 rushing yards and five scores on the ground, showcasing a versatility that appeals to many recruiters.
His official visits have taken him from Iowa City to Arkansas and Missouri, with each trip sandwiched between the others, giving him a clear picture of the environments he is considering.
Among the schools still in contention, Iowa holds a special place, not only because of the Hawkeyes' recent on‑field resurgence but also because the program’s coaching staff, led by head coach Kirk Ferentz and offensive coordinator Tim Lester, have been vocal about their desire to bring Britt into the fold.
The commitment would mark a significant addition to Iowa’s 2027 recruiting class, underscoring the impact of Tim Lester’s recruiting philosophy and the continued confidence Ferentz places in his staff’s ability to compete for top talent.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching the live announcement, eager to see whether the Memphis prospect chooses the Hawkeyes or one of his other finalists.
