The college decision of Xavier Sabb, a five‑star wide receiver from Glassboro, New Jersey, is poised to become one of the most watched moments of the 2027 recruiting cycle.
Sabb has narrowed his options to four programs — LSU, Tennessee, Oregon and UCLA — and will reveal his pick on July 3 at 3:00 p.m. CT during a live broadcast on the Rivals YouTube channel.
His recent trip to Baton Rouge on May 29 gave him an up‑close look at the Tigers’ facilities, while official visits to the other three schools took place throughout June.
Ranked as New Jersey’s second‑best prospect and the fifth‑best wide receiver nationally, Sabb also sits at No. 32 overall in the 2027 class according to Rivals' Industry Rankings.
Impact on LSU’s 2027 Class
Adding Sabb to LSU’s roster would likely push the Tigers back into the national top 10 for the 2027 cycle; currently the class sits at No. 11 overall and No. 5 within the SEC.
LSU already holds a five‑star commitment from tight end Ahmad Hudson, and Sabb’s potential addition would further solidify the program’s offensive outlook.
A Look at the Competition
While Tennessee, Oregon and UCLA each present compelling academic and athletic packages, Sabb’s familiarity with the LSU environment, bolstered by his recent visit, gives the Tigers a distinct advantage.
