Elite 2025 safety, LSU target DJ Pickett sets commitment date

The top uncommitted player on LSU’s 2025 recruiting board is set to decide within the next two weeks.

DJ Pickett, a five-star safety from Zephyrhills, Florida, and the No. 1 defensive back in America will decide on July 17 between a final four that includes LSU, Georgia , Oregon and Miami.

On3 ranks Pickett as the No. 6 player in the nation and top player in Florida. LSU hosted him for an official visit on May 31 and seemed to have the momentum for a while, but after a busy month in which he officially visited his other finalists, it seems to be a wide-open race.

There are no crystal ball projections for Pickett, and while LSU has a slight lead per the On3 recruiting prediction machine, it’s far from decisive as Miami and Oregon continue to push for the elite prospect.
