Several high school football players have received offers from Southern Methodist University (SMU) and the Louisiana State University (LSU). SMU has offered multiple players from various states such as California, Florida, Virginia, and Georgia, including wide receivers, linebackers, and defensive backs for the 2025-2027 classes. LSU has also made offers to several players, including a 2025 4-star defensive back from Arkansas and a 2026 athlete from North Carolina. Texas is actively recruiting high school players, with coaches visiting schools in various states and offering scholarships to talented players. The Texas Longhorns have shown interest in a 2025 linebacker from North Crowley and a 2025 defensive lineman from Mansfield Timberview. LSU's 2025 class is ranked number one, featuring three 5-star recruits and four top 20 recruits. SMU is set to host a Junior Day with several top targets in attendance. SMU has made a significant push in South Florida, offering around 50 scholarships, and will host a new target, Tyron Winslow, a rising Louisiana defensive lineman. SMU has also made a positive impression on 2026 EDGE KJ Ford, a top-ranked prospect in Texas, and is set to host elite OT Zaden Krempin from Prosper, Texas for a visit.
