The LSU Football staff has flipped Miami 4-star wide receiver commitment Ah’Mari Stevens during his official visit weekend in Baton Rouge.
The Chaminade-Madonna Prep (Fla.) star arrived for his LSU official visit as a Hurricanes commitment, but he will head back to the Sunshine State as the first wide receiver commitment in LSU’s 2027 recruiting class.
LSU wide receivers coach George McDonald led the way in recruiting the Miami native, who led the way recruiting the 4-star prospect for the Tigers.
“Coach George McDonald came down in January, and we talk almost every day,” Stevens told Rivals, adding the fit with the coaching staff and the program’s tradition of putting wide receivers into the NFL were big reasons the Tigers surged past the Hurricanes.
“LSU has always produced receivers,” he said.
During his sophomore season at St. Thomas Aquinas, one of high school football’s top programs, the LSU commitment hauled in 44 passes for 550 yards and eight touchdowns. He announced the decision to transfer to Edison during the offseason, and he closed out his junior year with 23 catches for 312 yards and a touchdown.
Ahead of his LSU official visit this weekend, Stevens circled the Tigers as a team to watch as programs like LSU, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas all applied pressure for him to flip from Miami.
“LSU is probably the one closest to Miami. They’re coming very hard,” Stevens said ahead of the trip to Baton Rouge.
Now, the Top 300 prospect on the Rivals Industry Rankings is LSU’s third commitment for the current 2027 recruiting cycle.
The Tigers already had two commitments in, one from the No. 1 EDGE prospect in the country in South Carolina’s Jaiden Bryant and another from a Louisiana native and Evangel star in Peyton Houston, who is ranked as one of the Top 10 quarterbacks in America.
