LSU will lay out a series of key commitments and goals for 2024 this weekend as they begin to shift focus to next year’s recruiting class. It’s been a busy offseason up to this point with the Tigers dominating the transfer portal, but securing the future of this program through the high school ranks is a top priority for head coach Brian Kelly.
We take a look at the three recruits that will be in Baton Rouge on Saturday and some facts about LSU’s most recent recruit for 2023, Ryan Robinson Jr.
The three key commitments on campus
Khayree Lee – Offensive Line – 2024 Commitment
The 6-foot-5, 330-pound player has all the tools to compete in the SEC with the developmental skills this coaching staff achieves. Kelly has been working on developing relationships early in the 2024 and 2025 cycles, leaving a clear impression on Lee for a short period of time after she got engaged in November.
Lee is extremely agile for his size. With quick feet and the muscle to back him up, he’s a prospect who has a chance to move up the ranks by the time it’s all said and done. Currently a 3-star, look for the youngster to make an impression when he wraps up his junior year before breaking out next season.
“2024 Ehret OL Khayree Lee continues to impress as a powerful and agile offensive lineman who plays left tackle for the Patriots,” On3 national recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman said. “Lee, who is 700-something pounds, bends well and plays big with several knockdowns to his credit, especially with a QB running behind center.”
Maurice Williams – Safety – Commitment 2024
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound player developed a strong relationship with defensive coordinator Matt House and defensive backs coaches Kerry Cooks and Robert Steeples. A four-star, top-100 prospect, recruiting for him has skyrocketed this spring.
Williams was on campus for an unofficial visit with the Tigers this summer, where he finally felt at home. Ready to commit and close the deal was on his mind for quite some time, which led him to commit to Brian Kelly and his staff.

Since his mother’s side of the family resided in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana, it wasn’t long before he felt comfortable leaving Texas and committing to LSU. Visiting Ohio State and Texas last summer, LSU took over recruiting Williams pretty quickly.
His visit to LSU was a one-on-one with Coach Kelly and Coach Cooks, which made him feel right where he needed to be. Ending the visit with a workout with Kerry Cooks, he added fuel to the fire to commit to the Tigers.
Wallace Foster – Cornerback – 2024 Commitment
The Warren Easton product chose LSU over Florida State, Florida and Arkansas, among others, adding to the incredible stretch in the recruiting path for this program a couple of months ago.
The 5-foot-10, 165-pound has all the tools to compete in the SEC with the developmental skills this coaching staff achieves. Once again, Kelly has been working to develop relationships early in the 2024 and 2025 cycles, getting Wallace on board rather quickly.
Foster uses his physique well for his size. With quick feet and the muscle to back him up, he’s a prospect who has a chance to move even higher in the rankings when all is said and done. Currently a 4-star, look for the youngster to make an impression as he wraps up his junior year before breaking out next season.
Recruiting tidbits about LSU’s recent commitment to Ryan Robinson Jr.
Robinson Jr. has accepted a preferred walk-in opportunity in Baton Rouge and will enroll at LSU this spring. The chance to have Robinson Jr. on campus a semester early as the Tigers revamp their secondary is key moving forward. An understated cornerback, his addition will go a long way during Spring Ball as he adjusts to college life.
Kelly has detailed the importance of building a successful program with walk-ons that can make an impact in the SEC, and bringing in a player of Robinson Jr.’s caliber is a big step in the right direction.
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound player passed up offers from schools like Nebraska, Florida State, Auburn, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Oregon and more to jump at the chance to walk with the Tigers.
“Wherever I’ve been, the walk-in program has been critical to our success,” Kelly said last spring. “So when we talk about instrumental, it’s not just in terms of the ability to add depth, but also scholarship. I think the chaperones should have the opportunity to get a scholarship.”
