The LSU Tigers have a legacy recruit that HC Brian Kelly and the staff have no excuse not to land to bolster the skill talent

In the early 2000s, the LSU Tigers managed to win the 2003 national championship under head coach Nick Saban.
One of the main catalysts on that team, and for his entire career, was star running back Joseph Addai. During a five-year career, the talented runner managed to rush for 2,576 and 18 touchdowns, while adding another 66 receptions for 641 yards and six scores as a receiver. He was a dynamic all purpose player for the Tiger offense.
Addai’s career in Baton Rouge earned him an opportunity to be selected in the first round in the 2006 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. The 5-11, 214-pound runner got off to a great start to his career, but some nagging injuries eventually limited his overall longevity. Addai still managed to rush for 4,453 yards and 39 touchdowns. He also collected another 191 receptions for 1,448 yards and nine more scores.
If LSU fans don’t want to feel old, you aren’t going to want to look at the early 247 Sports rankings for the 2028 recruiting class. Not far down the list is Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek wide receiver Jaylen Addai, yes, the son of the former Tiger great.
Addai is currently rated as the No. 32 overall player, No. 7 wide receiver, and No. 3 player in the state of Texas in the 2028 recruiting class according to 247 Sports. He is currently rated as a five-star recruit on the Industry ranking.
The 5-11, 165-pound pass catcher has already been gathering interest from several big time programs. His offer list currently includes Nebraska, Texas Tech, Houston, SMU, Tulsa, Texas State, Sacramento State, and Grambling State. That list promises to expand quickly as Addai enters his sophomore season.
The crazy part about the rankings and offer list for Addai is that he hasn’t even played on the varsity level yet. There’s a very good chance that his offer list balloons when he does, and showcases his overall talent. It may be smart for LSU to make the move sooner rather than later, and get in great early position. The talent is easy to see, and opportunity should be there for Addai as a sophomore.
