Former Michigan pledge, 4-star WR Phillip Wright III commits to LSU

When Philip Wright III decommitted from Michigan on August 4th, all signs pointed to him wanting to stay closer to home. What better place to go than LSU when you are a kid from Louisiana?

Philip Wright III is a 5-foot-11, 175-pound, four-star wide receiver from Destrehan, Louisiana, where he plays for Destrehan High School. Last season Destrehan finished 11-1 with a loss to Zachary in the playoffs. The Wildcats start their season on Aug. 30 against Lutcher.

LSU’s 2025 recruiting class is ranked as the No. 3 class in the country according to 247Sports. Wright is the third wide receiver commit in the class joining five-star Derek Meadows and four-star TaRon Francis. Brian Kelly has been loading up on star players to surround his five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood who is currently committed to LSU for the 2025 class.

Kelly has signed a top 10 classes every year since becoming the head coach at LSU. This 2025 class looks to be his best class of all time.
