LSU landed a commitment from the No. 8 rated quarterback in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle on Monday after Shreveport Evangel Christian four-star, Peyton Houston, revealed a pledge to the Tigers. Houston was in Baton Rouge in Week 3 for LSU's SEC victory over the Florida Gators where he was accompanied by multiple priority targets in both the 2026 and 2027 Recruiting Cycles.Following a visit to Tiger Stadium, along with the LSU coaching staff chipping away behind the scenes across the last few months, the Bayou Bengals reel in their signal-caller for the future. Houston is coming off of a sophomore season in 2024 where he completed 310-of-443 passing attempts for 4,480 yards and 38 touchdowns to only six interceptions. The 5-foot-10, 202-pounder also rushed the ball 105 times for 690 yards and seven scores on his way to rewriting the record books for his prep squad. With Houston now in the mix, the LSU Tigers remain in pursuit of DeSoto four-star wide receiver Ethan "Boobie" Feaster.Feaster, a Top-10 wideout in America, committed to the USC Trojans over the summer with Lincoln Riley and Co. earning the verbal pledge. Feaster committed to USC over the likes of the LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide down the stretch with the Bayou Bengals hosting him on an official visit in June. Despite a pledge elsewhere, the LSU Tigers remain in contact with the coveted prospect in the 2026 Recruiting Cycle.. “A lot of the staff is from Louisiana, they are not looking to leave and that is important. Coaches are leaving a lot now for the NFL, so I look at what staff is expected to be there and stay there.” Feaster, a Louisiana native, has developed a relationship with Houston across the years with "flip rumors" circulating across social media with the LSU staff keeping tabs on the elite wideout. On Tuesday, Feaster silenced flip rumors where he doubled down on his commitment to the USC Trojans while congratulating Houston on his pledge to the LSU Tigers..Congratulations My Guy….
