Quarterbacks. We’re always talking about them.
We don’t even know who is going to start for LSU this fall, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea to look at how the position is shaping up in next year’s recruiting class.
The Tigers have signed blue-chip recruits at quarterback in the last two classes with Garrett Nussmeier and Walker Howard. If those two stick around, it’s not pivotal that coach Brian Kelly lands a big-time quarterback next year.
These days, coaches aren’t going to bank on quarterbacks sticking around rather than entering the transfer portal. Constantly recruiting the position is a must.
Three of the top five quarterbacks in the class of 2023 have yet to commit, and LSU has been connected to all of them at one point or another. Those three are Arch Manning, Dante Moore, and Jalen Rashada.
At the moment, LSU isn’t the favorite to land any but remains in the mix.
In the case of Manning, the Tigers have always been hanging around, but the No. 1 overall prospect ending up in Baton Rouge never seemed like a real possibility. Manning has taken visits to LSU, and his high school coach spoke highly of Kelly, but the Tigers are far behind programs like Georgia and Texas in this race.
Moore took a visit to LSU about a month ago. He’s from Michigan, and midwestern schools like Notre Dame and the in-state Wolverines are heavily involved in his recruitment. He also took a visit to Oregon shortly after his stop in the bayou.
LSU may be in the best position with Moore, but the Fighting Irish seem to be the favorite in the race right now.
Rashada is the dark horse. The Tigers didn’t make much noise in his recruitment until recently when they were listed as one of his finalists. He’s a California native, and Oregon is thought to be the favorite. Texas A&M and Ole Miss are also right up there. If Rashada were to end up at LSU, it’d be a surprise, but it’s not impossible.
If it doesn’t land one of the big five-stars, there’s Eli…
