LSU will host one of the nation’s best prospects on Saturday when 2025 Ackerman (Miss.) Chcotaw County wide receiver Caleb Cunningham will visit Baton Rouge for the Alabama game, he announced.

According to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, Cunningham is the No. 10 overall prospect in the country, No. 1 wide receiver and No. 1 prospect in Mississippi.

The 6-3, 175-pound prospect holds offers from Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Oregon and numerous others.

Caleb Cunningham’s season stats are not available, but it’s definitely worth highlighting his success as a freshman, as he hauled in 31 receptions for 569 yards and 10 touchdowns. He chipped in with 14 tackles on defense as well.

Despite only being a sophomore, Caleb Cunningham already boasts an NIL Valuation of $81K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. It does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

LSU targeting top players like Caleb Cunningham

LSU head coach Brian Kelly and his staff have rebuilt the roster well in just one year, sitting at 6-2 overall. As the Tigers look to knock off Alabama on Saturday, Kelly said the staff is looking for high-end prospects like Cunningham.

“That’s where we want to build this program,” he said. “This program will be built on freshmen, but there are a couple of positions that still have holes in them that need to be supplanted with some transfers. We’re much better than we were last year. We’ll get better this year, and then hopefully in another year this is just about player development and bringing in freshmen.

“That’s stage two in terms of getting to where we need to be to hopefully get to that final narrative of upstaging Alabama. But we’re certainly not there yet.”
