LSU is making significant strides in recruiting James Simon, the No. 2 running back in Louisiana. The Tigers have been focusing on securing top talent from their home state, and they have already locked in commitments from six of the Top 10 prospects, with Simon trending their way.
Simon, a four-star prospect and a top-10 back in the 2025 cycle, has been impressed by LSU’s efforts, especially after recent visits with the coaching staff. LSU’s running backs coach, Frank Wilson, has been actively pursuing Simon, who is also being courted by other top programs.
Despite not having a commitment date set, LSU is intensifying its recruitment efforts to secure Simon’s commitment. The Tigers’ 2025 class is already shaping up to be a game-changer, with commitments from other top prospects like Bryce Underwood and Harlem Berry. A potential pairing of Berry and Simon in the backfield could make LSU’s running game a force to be reckoned with for years to come.
