2023 St. James (La.) wideout Khai Prean announced his pledge to the Tigers in August. The 6-0, 188-pound prospect is back on the field showing why he’s one of the top prospects in the recruiting class for Brian Kelly & Co.

When Khai Prean made his decision before his senior year, he looked back on growing up. The four-star prospect watched plenty of LSU greats from the past and they keyed his decision.
“For as long as I can remember, growing up I’ve been watching football and watching clips on YouTube. and the popular receivers at the time were all from LSU,” Prean told On3. “Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry and then Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson and Terrace Marshall Jr. It wasn’t that they went to college; it was that they went to college and stood out in what they did, and that’s what made me want to go to LSU.”

“He’s a dynamic player, he’s a great student athlete, student first, good athlete, he’s a great, humble kid, his parents did a great job with him and his brother,” Davis said. “So we’re excited to have great leadership to the team, he brings work ethic to the team, he brings passion.”
