<p>LSU punctuated its busy June camp schedule this weekend with its most exclusive event of the summer.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Friday Night Lights brought hundreds of talented prospects from all over the country to campus with top performers selected to compete in the final one-on-one and 7-on-7 sessions in Tiger Stadium.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here are notes on more than a dozen standouts and eye-catchers among the in-state prospects in attendance.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='710991' first='Richard' last='Anderson'] — 6-3, 350 DL — Edna Karr (2026)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The big defensive tackle fittingly looked right at home during his visit to LSU, where he'd earned one of his early offers nearly a year and a half ago, and shared his commitment with the coaching staff early in the afternoon. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='920613' first='Jakai' last='Anderson'] — 6-0, 160 WR/ATH — McDonogh (2026)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Big Rich wasn't the Tigers' only new commitment Friday — or even their only new commitment from an in-state 2026 prospect named Anderson. The Roneagles' electric three-phase standout, projected as a receiver in college, shared his plans with the coaches and announced Saturday via social media.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='291097' first='Harlem' last='Berry'] — 5-10, 185 — St. Martin's Episcopal (2025)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='914208' first='J.T.' last='Lindsey'] — 5-11, 180 RB — Alexandria (2025)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Tigers' duo of speedy 2025 running back commitments appeared to be wide open much of the day for future teammate Bryce Underwood and the other many talented quarterbacks on hand. Berry's and Lindsey's track speed and explosiveness gave opposing defenders fits as they consistently created enough separation not only to make their catches, but to run free for huge chunks of additional yardage after the reception.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='401737' first='Blaine' last='Bradford'] — 6-0, 200 DB — Catholic (Baton Rouge) (2026)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Bears' safety was a great candidate for the most physically imposing defensive back, receiver or running back in the deep cast of Division-I talent and ran remarkably well throughout his drill work. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='291082' first='Amari' last='Clayton'] — 6-0, 200 WR — Catholic (Baton Rouge) (2025)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bradford's teammate made a couple catches during one-on-ones, including a highlight rep on which he gained a step on the defensive back and hauled in a nice over-the-shoulder catch against the trailing, but tight coverage.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='710968' first='Nathan' last='Green'] — 6-0, 180 ATH — Evangel Christian (2027)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The versatile, three-phase athlete worked at receiver where his vertical speed and hands were on display on several deep shots. Still early in his development, Green has the potential to end up at receiver, defensive back or outside linebacker by the time he gets to college — and he's been consistently impressive anywhere on the field he's worked throughout this offseason.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='401932' first='Aiden' last='Hall'] — 6-0, 200 DB — Edna Karr (2026)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hall joined Bradford as Louisiana's top 2026 safeties — both highly ranked and sought-after national prospects — both on hand and looking great in drills and making plays in 7-on-7 reps.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1335946' first='Dorrion' last='Hollins'] — 6-4, 200 TE — East Jefferson (2025)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the more under-the-radar prospects who caught our — and the LSU staff's — attention with his performance, Hollins is a big, athletic pass-catcher who is still waiting for his first Division-I offer, but looked like someone at whom more colleges should take a closer look.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1250887' first='Peyton' last='Houston'] — 5-10, 200 QB — Evangel Christian (2027)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The young quarterback bolstered his case for an offer from the home-state Tigers with a strong performance under the close watch of co-offensive coordinator Joe Sloan. LSU has hoped to remain patient for Houston's first varsity starts this fall, but his talent, early polish and exploding offer list are increasingly ramping up the pressure. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1257121' first='Ahmad' last='Hudson'] — 6-5, 230 TE/ATH — Ruston (2027)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The talented young multisport standout saw the bulk of his 7-on-7 reps at tight end and, regardless of whether positioned there or out wider in one-on-ones, moved well downfield and caught everything thrown his way with consistency and confidence.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='934564' first='Braylun' last='Huglon'] — 5-8, 175 DB/ATH — Calvary Baptist (2027)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Cavaliers' productive young defensive back ran a 4.51-second 40-yard dash and performed well enough in his drills and reps to earn selection to the top groups that finished the evening in Tiger Stadium. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>JD LaFleur — 6-6, 235 TE — Sulphur (2025)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The number of opportunities tight ends garner in 7-on-7 and camp settings can be hit or miss, but the LSU commitment had a productive, effective evening with one sure-handed catch after another quickly secured and turned upfield. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212340' first='Jabari' last='Mack'] — 6-0, 190 WR/ATH — Destrehan (2026)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 2026 target repeatedly broke free during the final sessions in Tiger Stadium for multiple big catches deep down the field.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='913912' first='Kyran' last='Moore'] — 5-11, 170 DB — Opelousas (2025)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Tigers' standout hasn't garnered as much national attention as the aforementioned Bradford and Hall, but has earned a few notable offers and had a strong showing at LSU, including a selection among the final groups, with his quick feet and well-timed plays on the ball. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Patrick Patton — 5-11, 165 DB/ATH — University Lab (2027)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Cubs' rising sophomore was one of a few young defensive backs not only participating in the elite event, but clearly catching the attention of secondary coach Corey Raymond as he blanketed receivers throughout the day and earned a selection to the final groups brought to Tiger Stadium for the evening's final one-on-one and 7-on-7 sessions. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1372155' first='Calvin' last='Ursin'] Jr. — 6-0, 185 WR/ATH — Live Oak (2028)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another youngster who had a strong showing overall even against defensive backs two and three years his senior, "Deuce" consistently created space throughout the event for his share of receptions.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='912255' first='Kaleb' last='Vaughn'] — 5-9, 160 DB/WR/ATH — Neville (2025)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We didn't catch many of Vaughn's reps, but did see the Tigers' versatile speedster make an impressive catch through tight, physical coverage in one-on-ones.</p>
