LSU football’s 2027 recruiting class is heating up, and it doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

Calais, fresh off an official visit to LSU on Sunday, chose the Tigers over Ole Miss, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Miami and Houston. He announced his decision in front of a packed gymnasium at Cecilia High School on Monday.
Calais is a major addition to LSU’s 2027 class. He is ranked as the No. 10 athlete in the country and the No. 9 player in Louisiana, according to 247Sports, and is also listed among the top 200 prospects nationally.
The 6-foot-2, 192-pound standout is considered one of the most versatile athletes in the 2027 cycle. He has experience at running back, wide receiver, and in the secondary for Cecilia, while also competing in track and basketball.
The Carencro native participated in the 2026 Under Armour Next All-American Game in January, an invite-only event featuring more than 100 of the nation’s top high school prospects.
Calais is also a Division II non-select state champion, helping lead Cecilia to a 35-32 win over Franklinton in the 2024 title game.
He becomes the fourth commitment in LSU’s 2027 class and the second wide receiver, joining four-star prospect Ah’Mari Stevens.
