Four-star WR Derek Meadows commits to LSU
LSU has landed one of the nation's most elite pass catchers for the 2025 recruiting year as wide receiver Derek Meadows of Las Vegas (NV) Bishop Gorman has announced his commitment to the Tigers.
"For the next three or four years, I will be attending Louisiana State University, Geaux Tigers,” Meadows said during his commitment announcement on YouTube.
The 6-foot-5, 200-pound Meadows chose LSU over Notre Dame, Alabama, Georgia and Michigan.
LSU received Meadows last official recruiting visit on June 18. His other visits included Michigan (May 31), Georgia (June 7), Notre Dame (June 14) and Alabama (June 21) .
“LSU really felt most like home. They have a bunch of leaders there and I just know they will push me every day to get where I want to be.
With Meadows pledge, LSU now has 18 commitments for the class of 2025. He’s the second wide receiver currently in the class joining TaRon Francis of New Orleans (La.) Edna Karr.
Tigers wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton is recruiting Meadows for LSU. He’s a consensus National 100 prospect overall and one of the nation’s most elite wide receivers in his class.
“Coach Hankton is a great coach and leader,” Meadows said. “I can see him helping me this whole way, and build me as a man most importantly.”
The long-limbed receiver (80-inch wingspan) with loads of untapped potential finished the 2023 season with 15 receptions for 391 yards and eight touchdowns.
He was named Gatorade Track and Field Athlete of the Year as a sophomore and is one of the top hurdlers in the west.
LSU’s class of 2025 is currently a Top-5 recruiting class by consensus nationally.
