Derek Meadows, a five-star wide receiver from the Class of 2025, committed to LSU on Saturday.

Meadows marks the Tigers’ second five-star pledge in four days after cornerback DJ Pickett committed to head coach Brian Kelly’s program on Wednesday.

The 6-foot-5, 200 Meadows chose LSU over Notre Dame – considered the favorite for months – and Georgia, Alabama and Michigan.

Meadows visited all five schools, but he said his experience with the Tigers stood out from the rest.

“The coaches all treat everyone like family. I know I want to be in that environment,” Meadows told 247Sports.

“Playing in the SEC will mean a lot and I know that I’m going to keep grinding to compete against the best.”

The 247Sports composite ranks Meadows as the No. 10 receiver in the nation and the No. 68 overall prospect.

Meadows caught 15 passes for 391 yards and eight touchdowns during his sophomore season in 2023 to help Bishop Gorman High School win the Nevada 5A state title.

A two-sport athlete, Meadows was also named Nevada’s Gatorade Track and Field Player of the Year in 2023. He excelled in the 300 meters and 110m hurdles and ran on a gold medal-winning 4×400 relay team.

LSU now has three five star commits from the Class of 2025. Meadows joins Pickett and quarterback Bryce Underwood, the nation’s top overall prospect.
