Louisiana WRs/RBs announce commitments | June recruiting round-up

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A hectic June of recruiting activity saw dozens of rising seniors announce college commitments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at some of the offensive skill players who helped headline the decisions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1601945' first='Trez' last='Davis'] —&nbsp;6-0, 185 WR —&nbsp;West Monroe —&gt; Tulane</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Green Wave landed an ascending prospect on the heels of his record-setting junior season with a chance to prove himself among the steals of the class. Davis racked up 998 yards and eight touchdowns on 52 receptions this past fall. He has good size for the next level and plays bigger than his measurables with both his leap and ball skills as a pass-catcher and his willingness and physicality as a blocker on the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1736890' first='Heij' last='Jackson'] — 6-3, 185 WR — McDonogh 35 —&gt; South Alabama</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson is an eye-catcher at the position with his tall, long frame and has shown good speed to stretch the field vertically or turn shorter routes into explosive gains with big runs after the catch on screens and slants. He appears poised to be more of a focal point in the Roneagles' offense as a senior and is working to be more consistent in that role before heading to the next level with a commitment to the Jaguars now on the books. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='457340' first='Desmen' last='Jefferson'] —&nbsp;5-10, 175 WR —&nbsp;Ferriday —&gt; Southeastern Louisiana</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1736940' first='Bennett' last='Naquin'] —&nbsp;6-1, 180 WR/ATH —&nbsp;Hahnville —&gt; Southeastern Louisiana</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Lions added a pair of receivers to their 2026 class in June. The home-state program recruited Jefferson, the lightning-quick route-runner and sure-handed pass-catcher, as steadily and heavily as any program during the course of his recruiting process, which at one point included SEC and Big 12 suitors. And Southeastern Louisiana identified Naquin, the multisport and versatile standout, as a potential under-the-radar find at the position after having previously played quarterback. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1602031' first='Colin' last='Pecue'] —&nbsp;5-8, 170 RB — Dunham —&gt; Massachusetts Maritime</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the rising senior leaders for the Division-III Select runners-up, Pecue is a tough athlete with a good burst who has stepped up on both sides of the ball when called up, including a heavier workload in the backfield this past fall than anticipated when a classmate suffered an injury and left the Tigers looking for a lead running back — a role Pecue shouldered well during an undefeated run to the Superdome. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='401969' first='Jamarcea' last='Plater'] — 5-9, 180 RB/ATH — Captain Shreve —&gt; Wake Forest</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Demon Deacons were able to land one of Louisiana's most explosive and most productive running backs in the class, a track standout who moved from defensive back as an underclassman to running back as a junior and broke his school's record with 2,234 yards and 29 touchdowns in his first season at the position. Plater is an explosive, strong runner and a versatile all-around athlete capable of being a threat as a pass-catcher when called upon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='920625' first='Jake' last='Randle'] —&nbsp;5-10, 170 RB — Isidore Newman —&gt; Tulane</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The younger brother of Texas tight end Will Randle looks poised to stay not only in-state for college, but in the neighborhood — heading around the corner uptown from the Greenies to the Green Wave. The younger Randle is a smaller, quicker athlete who doesn't shy away from physical play, but stands out with his shiftiness to make defenders miss and get loose in the open field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='401973' first='Keyon' last='Robinson'] —&nbsp;6-0, 190 WR/ATH — Madison Prep —&gt; Grambling State</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The versatile athlete was a go-to receiver as a junior with 56 catches for 1,210 yards and 12 touchdowns with strong hands and the ability to go up and make even acrobatic catches over defenders and through contact. But he also possesses a strong build and good balance that make him effective with the ball in his hands on rushing opportunities or runs after the catch, and he has stated he's more than comfortable playing anywhere on the field to help his team his upcoming senior season and in college.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
