The past week has brought major, national-headline recruiting updates in Louisiana, including a huge commitment for LSU that potentially comes with great additional ripple effects.
Evangel Christian quarterback Peyton “Pop” Houston announced his pledge Monday morning to the home-state Tigers — marking the state’s first 2027 football commitment and the first member of coach Brian Kelly and company’s Baton Rouge-bound class.
Then, Monday evening, Central linebacker JaMichael Garrett shifted his status from Louisiana’s top remaining uncommitted senior to Ole Miss commitment with an announcement of his own.
Louisiana vs. All Y’all “Recruit Dat Boot” cohosts Jerit Roser and Sam Spiegelman unpack those big developments from a variety of angles, as well as some other notable recruiting topics from the past week.
Included in this week’s episodes:
- how Houston could impact the Tigers’ continued recruiting efforts, particularly with a talented 2027 Louisiana class
- are offensive coordinator Joe Sloan and company done with their 2027 quarterback recruiting, or could they potentially land another in the class
- four memorable quotes from Evangel Christian coach Denny Duron on Houston as a player and leader
- top out-of-state prospects committed elsewhere worth monitoring as potential LSU flips following their visits from the Florida game
- takeaways from a memorable Week 2 in Caesars Superdome with Archbishop Rummel vs. University Lab and Edna Karr vs. American Heritage, including great performances by 2026 LSU commits Richard Anderson, Aiden Hall and Lamar Brown
Make sure to keep an eye on the Louisiana vs. All Y’all channel for fresh episodes of “Recruit Dat Boot” every week, which will typically be scheduled for release on Wednesday mornings.
