UPDATE: Samuel M’Pemba will now visit LSU at a later date. Original story below.

2023 IMG Academy (Fla.) EDGE Samuel M’Pemba is the latest Ascender to set an LSU visit this weekend for the Mississippi State game. He announced he’ll be joining Top 10 2024 prospects and teammates Desmond Ricks and Ellis Robinson IV in Baton Rouge this weekend.

M’Pemba released a list of his top seven schools this summer, which included Georgia, Oregon, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Miami and Notre Dame. The Bulldogs are currently considered significant favorites by the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) after a trio of expert picks from On3 recruiting insiders.

Georgia hosted him last weekend and has an official visit set for Oct. 7. Notre Dame and Oregon are two other programs who are expected to host him later this fall for official visits.

A 6-foot-3, 255 pound pass rusher, Samuel M’Pemba is ranked as the No. 23 overall prospect and the No. 3 EDGE in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Samuel M’Pemba On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Samuel M’Pemba:

“Physically-developed two-way athlete, with the highest projected ceiling as an EDGE prospect. Played as a pass rusher and wide receiver at his initial high school prior to transferring to IMG Academy as a junior. Primarily played as a tight end/h-back at IMG during the fall of 2021. A strong athlete with dip and feel for rushing the passer. Had considerable murkiness around his ultimate position. Practicing at EDGE in the spring for IMG and looks primed to make an impact as a pass rusher.

“Measured at 6-foot-3.5, 240 pounds with a 6-foot-10 wing-span prior to his senior season. Tests as a solid to good athlete, clocking an electronically-timed 4.94 second 40-yard dash prior to his senior season. Would benefit greatly from a permanent move to defense as a senior, in our opinion.Practicing at EDGE in the spring and looks good there. Can continue to improve initial quickness but savvy and has natural pass rush ability.”
