We’re breaking down one of the biggest signees from the 2023 class in hometown prospect Shelton Sampson Jr. The blue-chip wideout joins a talented receiver room, but the Baton Rouge native has the talent to make an impact on offense as a true freshman for the Tigers this fall.

Depth Chart Overview

Sampson was a standout at Catholic High School in Baton Rouge, becoming one of the top receivers in the 2023 recruiting class. He joins an LSU group loaded with talent like Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., Chris Hilton, Kyren Lacy and Aaron Anderson, but at 6-foot-4, he has the talent and athleticism to see the field early.

He joins Jalen Brown, Kyle Parker and Khai Prean in a talented wide receiver signing class.
