Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers set to bring in The Boot’s top-ranked wideout, arriving this month on campus.
Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff signed a Top-10 Recruiting Class in December after seeing their commitments put pen to paper with the program.
It’s a 2025 class that saw the Bayou Bengals add an embarrassment of riches on both sides of the ball with DJ Pickett, the No. 1 rated cornerback in America, headlining the haul.
But there are immediate impact players that aren’t receiving as much recognition in the class.
That includes TaRon Francis, the No. 1 rated wide receiver in Louisiana. The Boot’s top-ranked wideout signed with LSU in December where he has an opportunity to compete for meaningful snaps on Day 1 in Baton Rouge.
Francis will be an early-enrollee and make his way to campus in January, a source tells LSU Tigers On SI.
It’s an important addition for the program given Francis will now have an opportunity to work through spring camp in March and April alongside a gifted receiving corps in Baton Rouge.
The 6-foot, 206-pounder is a consensus four-star wide receiver out of Edna Karr High in New Orleans. Now, he’ll look to carry his success to LSU after an impressive prep carreer.
Francis joins a talented wide receiver room in Death Valley where Garrett Nussmeier will have an embarrassment of riches to work with in 2025.
Who’s set to be in Baton Rouge to make up the receiving corps?

Aaron Anderson: Starting Wideout
The Louisiana native is fresh off of a breakout campaign in 2024 after becoming one of Garrett Nussmeier’s top weapons on offense.
