LSU’s 2027 Recruiting Surge: Top Prospects Visit Campus This Weekend

Trey Martin, Brandon Sherrard and Tory Pittman among the high‑profile visitors as the Tigers aim to bolster their class

LSU is opening its doors to a wave of official visitors this weekend, with nearly a dozen prospects expected to tour the campus as the Tigers chase another marquee recruiting class.

Among them, Trey Martin, the top‑ranked running back in Louisiana, will be on campus weighing a decision between LSU and Florida, and he has already spoken highly of the program’s coaching staff and the connections it offers.

Four‑star cornerback Brandon Sherrard, a 6‑foot‑1, 180‑pound talent placed in the national top‑25 at his position, is also slated to visit, drawing the attention of LSU’s secondary coach Corey Raymond, who has made the recruit a priority.

Tory Pittman, a committed Nebraska safety and the No. 7 safety in the country, is another key target; while he has pledged to the Cornhuskers, LSU’s safeties coach Jake Olsen is eager to make a strong impression during the visit.

The influx of talent comes as LSU has already secured four new commitments in the 2027 recruiting cycle, a sign that the coaching staff’s outreach is paying dividends and that the class could soon become one of the nation’s most competitive.

Why the Visits Matter

Each official visit serves as a litmus test for both the player and the program, offering a chance to evaluate facilities, chemistry and the academic environment, while giving coaches a chance to assess fit and urgency.

For LSU, landing Martin, Sherrard or Pittman would not only reinforce positional depth but also signal a continued ability to attract elite talent from across the Southeast and the Midwest, keeping the Tigers ahead in the SEC arms race.
