The LSU Tigers reportedly ‘expect’ to land a 5-star recruit that’s high on the Tennessee Vols’ board
The Tennessee Vols and the LSU Tigers are locked into a recruiting battle.
The LSU Tigers reportedly “expect” to land a 2027 five-star recruit that’s high on the Tennessee Vols’ board.
2027 five-star cornerback Joshua Dobson is one of the most coveted recruits in the nation.
Dobson, 6-foot-1/175 pounds from Cornelius, NC, is rated in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 2 cornerback in the nation and the No. 1 player in the state of North Carolina. He’s also rated as the No. 3 overall player in the 2027 recruiting class.
The five-star recruit took an unofficial visit to Tennessee last fall, and he was visited by Vols head coach Josh Heupel and new cornerbacks coach Michael Hunter in January.
It’s LSU, though, that’s setting the pace in this recruiting battle.
LSU has the momentum for Joshua Dobson
247Sports’ Tom Loy noted over the weekend that LSU has been “relentless” in its pursuit of Dobson and expects to come out on top when this battle is all said and done.
“LSU also feels great about its chances at landing cornerback Joshua Dobson,” wrote Loy. “I couldn’t agree more. The Tigers have been relentless in their pursuit of the 6-1, 175-pounder, who 247Sports slots as the No. 2 cornerback in the country and No. 12 overall player in the nation. Auburn, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Texas, Notre Dame, and others are all in play, but the Tigers expect Dobson to eventually land in Baton Rouge.”
Dobson recently took a visit to LSU, which reportedly went very well.
“The weekend was amazing…they’ve got something special going on, and I can’t wait to get back in the spring,” said Dobson to On3.
There’s still time for Tennessee to make a big move in this battle, but for now, it’s LSU that’s out in front for Dobson.
