LSU hosted a trio of official visitors this weekend in three-star offensive lineman Marlon Martinez, four-star safety Lathan Ransom and five-star receiver Rakim Jarrett. It’s a noted shift in strategy change that O and company pursued since the inaugural year of the early signing period. We’ll call it learnings. Clearly it’s paying dividends.
Just one week after the staff pulled four-star Jermaine Burton out of California, they go coast-2-coast, like Space Ghost, and pull down another top-40 talent, Rakim Jarrett. Jarrett ranks as the No. 2 receiver and 16th player overall on the 247 composite and holds offers from a host of national powers including Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson, and Georgia.
