Top-ranked recruit in the class of 2024 to visit LSU this weekend

LSU will have a massive recruiting target on campus this weekend.

Cornerback Desmond Ricks, currently the top-ranked recruit in the 247Sports Composite for the class of 2024, announced on Twitter that he would be taking a visit to Baton Rouge this upcoming weekend.

Ricks, who attends IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, is originally from Virginia. It’s still early in Ricks’ recruitment as he won’t be signing for almost two more years, but getting a recruit in the door is the first step.

On3 has Ricks’ NIL Valuation at $32,000. On3 describes that metric as a way to estimate a player’s worth in NIL deals, it is not a tracker of current deals.

247 Sports scouting report paints Ricks as a player who excels at the technical parts of the game while also having track star speed. If Ricks does end up at LSU, he’d join a long list of five-star cornerbacks who the Tigers have landed over the years. Cornerback is a position of need for LSU after losing some to the transfer portal.

According to On3, cornerback Caleb Presley and wide receiver Robby Washington will also be taking a visit to LSU this weekend. Presley and Washington, both four-stars, are a part of the 2023 class. Washington holds a 247 crystal ball to Miami at the moment.
