Five-star power forward from New Orleans, Chris Cenac Jr., is one of LSU's top targets in the Class of 2025. The 6-10 forward is sitting on offers from some of the best NCAA programs, such as Houston, Auburn, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Michigan State.

LSU is currently the leading contender to land the commitment of a five-star forward, as per On3. The Tigers are currently pursuing another five-star football prospect, defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart. The Baton Rouge-based side hosted the five-star defenseman this weekend and is poised to make a run at the athlete.

Stewart shared several photos on his Instagram account, wearing the Tigers' uniform during his visit. Multiple star high school athletes commented on Stewart's post, including Cenac, who left a compelling remark on the defensive lineman's post.

"if you go i’ll go," Cenac wrote.

Both these athletes might play for the Tigers in their respective sports, which will only benefit LSU, a top team with five-star talent on its roster.

Chris Cenac Jr. is ranked No.7 nationally and is the fourth-best power forward in the Class of 2025, as per On3. He is also the best overall prospect from the state of Missouri.

Chris Cenac Jr. has narrowed his list down to seven schools

The five-star prospect in the Class of 2025, Chris Cenac Jr., is down to seven schools. Kentucky, Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, Houston, LSU, and Tennessee have made the forward's shortlist.

"It was pretty good," the five-star forward told Jacob Polacheck of KSR+. "Everybody was pretty welcoming. They’re all good people. It was a pretty good visit overall."

The Kentucky Wildcats also have a 10.2% chance of landing the prospect, as per On3, but they face stiff competition from the aforementioned programs.
