Complete 2027 LSU Recruiting Class

No. 1 Louisiana State

Head Coach:
Jay Johnson | Recruiting Coordinator: Josh Jordan
Total Signees: 17 | Top 100 Signees: 12



RK Name Pos. HT WT B-T High School Hometown ST
6 Samir Mohammed RHP 6-5 240 R-R Tampa Jesuit Trinity FL
13 Sebastian Castillo SS 6-0 195 R-R Byron Nelson Justin TX
16 Graham Houston SS 6-1 175 S-R Venice Nokomis FL
22 Drake Hawpe OF 6-4 215 L-R Liberty Christian Argyle TX
32 Jordin Griffin OF 5-10 190 L-R Barbe Lake Charles LA


Wash. Rinse. Repeat. The 2027 recruiting cycle saw Jay Johnson and his staff pull in the top class in the country, something we've come to almost expect as of late, and though they have some names to monitor heading into next year's MLB Draft, the depth of this group is unreal and one of the best we've seen in some time. Just how good is this class as a whole? Of their 16 commits, 12 are ranked within the top 100 with 7 in the top 50. 

Leading the way is one of the best pitching prospects in the nation in Florida prep righty Samir Mohammed, an intimidating 6-foot-5 presence who recently touched triple digits in Jupiter and possesses on of the best changeups in the country. Fellow Perfect Game All-Americans Kade Luker, Quinn Fitzpatrick and Greyson Parker have all run the heaters into the mid-90s with advanced secondaries, whether it's Luker's variety of breaking balls, Fitzpatrick's changeup or Parker's complete mix. The trio of South Carolina lefty Connor Wells, Illinois righty Kaden Wasniewski and home grown Lawton Littleton round out the depth on the mound. 

If you think the mound had some firepower, wait until you dive into the bats which are led by duo of shortstops who are able to change the game in a variety of ways. Sebastian Castillo and Graham Houston are two of the more explosive players and consistent performers in the country. Both ranked in the top 20, Castillo is a Texas product who was outstanding this summer, showing plenty of juice in his right-handed stroke at all the national stops while Houston is advanced across the board, from his defensive acumen to switch-hit ability, living on the barrel and his impact speed.

While Drake Hawpe and Jordin Griffin are different in terms of physicality with Hawpe checking in at 6-4/215 and Griffin at 5-10/190, both possess gamechanging ability with their left-handed swings. Hawpe, the son of long-time big leaguer Brad Hawpe, has middle-of-the-order thump and can make a park look small while Griffin, simply put, is electric. A 6.3 runner who can go get it in the outfield, as well as on the grid iron where he's a highly regarded recruit, Griffin has elite bat speed and long history of performing at the highest of levels.

As you continue down the list of recruits, you have several names with superstar potential in Baton Rouge, from North Carolina outfielder Jacob Seamon who is athletic as they come, recent flip Caden Borcherding who'll be a staple behind the plate for Johnson, Koa Romero who went dead central during the PGAA Classic at Citizens Bank (and seemingly every other field he's ever stepped foot on) or slick defender up-the-middle Ricky Lopez, the talent ranked within the top-100 is undeniable.

While 8 different states are represented, it's important to note that Johnson and his staff once again cleaned up close to home as well with Griffin, Luker, Romero and Parker ranked as the top four in-state products, joined by both Devyn Downs and Littleton. Perhaps the longest tenured commit of this No. 1 class is the Monroe native  Downs, a true two-way talent who could see time both in the dirt and on the mound at the next level, who committed early very on in the process.

Texas American Dominates for the 12U All-State Select Championship A run-rule, 11-3 victory over California National sealed the deal for Texas American’s 12U PG National All-State Select Championship win. 6 different players combined for Texas American’s 11 total runs - Ishmael Ruiz knocked in 2 runs with a double in the bottom of the second, Cannon Hughes knocked in 5 runs with 2, 2-run home runs in the first and second innings and an RBI walk to seal the game. Though it’s clear Texas American’s offense was explosive, right-handed pitcher Martin Vazquez did his part on the mound, striking out 6 batters and only dealing 1 walk in his 4 innings and 61 pitches of work. Earlier in the tournament, Lucas Bingham, the tournament’s MVPitcher, struck out 11 batters over 6.1 innings in his outing - and despite that impressive stat line - Bingham said he was not...

Florida Offense Paces All State Crown

Florida National got off to a hot start in Monday’s championship game against Texas National. Scoring all their runs in the first and second inning, Florida National held off Texas National and won 5-3 for the 14U PG National All-State Select Championship title. An electric and fun-filled weekend all led up to this final game on Field 3 at Premier Baseball of Texas. The players geared up under the lights for what would surely be another great meeting between stacked teams. Texas National was up to bat first, but Florida’s pitcher, Lucas Diaz, struck out 2 batters in a row before fielding a ground ball for the third out. Though the bottom of the first started with a strikeout for Florida National, Diaz reached first base on a dropped passed ball and Jayden Portes got on with a walk. With two on and only one out, Florida National was primed to pounce. Lucas Viera singled to...
