Baton Rouge, LA – In a bold move to strengthen their roster for the future, LSU Tigers head coach Brian Kelly is set to roll out the red carpet this weekend for four-star running back KJ Edwards. Edwards, from Carthage, Texas, is currently ranked as the No. 2 running back in the nation and is one of the most coveted recruits in college football.
Edwards, who holds offers from several top programs, will be officially visiting Baton Rouge this weekend as part of his recruitment process. LSU is hoping to impress the star athlete with a lavish visit and showcase everything the school and football program have to offer. The Tigers are making a serious push, with the intention of securing the 6-foot-1, 200-pound running back, who could become a key player in their backfield.
Salary and Offer Details: While exact financial figures are not disclosed for recruits, LSU’s football program is known for providing top-tier NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals to high-profile athletes. It’s expected that Edwards will be presented with a lucrative NIL package to go along with the full scholarship offer, which would cover tuition, room, and board.
This visit is part of LSU’s aggressive recruiting efforts to continue building one of the top football programs in the nation, and landing a prospect of Edwards’ caliber would be a huge win for Coach Kelly.
