LSU climbs into top 10 in 2024 recruiting rankings after flipping five-star offensive tackle Weston Davis

LSU has spent much of the 2024 cycle in the top 10 in recruiting rankings, but after a recent spate of decommitments — headlined by the loss of four-star cornerback Ondre Evans to Georgia — the team had fallen out of the top 10.

The Tigers are surging back up now, though. On Thursday night, the team flipped five-star Texas offensive tackle Weston Davis from division rival Texas A&M as coach Brian Kelly and this staff landed another big-time prospect along the offensive line.

Davis is a composite four-star as On3 is the only site that ranks him as a five-star.

LSU now has a top-10 class according to both 247Sports and On3, but the latter is higher on the Tigers’ 2024 class. Here’s where it stands in On3’s latest rankings.
