LSU offers 2025 QB Tavien St. Clair
The LSU football staff’s pursuit of quarterbacks in the 2025 recruiting cycle has been spearheaded by quarterbacks coach Joe Sloan.
After signing Louisiana four-star Rickie Collins in the 2023 class, Sloan and LSU followed the local addition up with a verbal commitment from Florida four-star Colin Hurley for the current 2024 class.
Looking ahead to the 2025 cycle, Sloan had just two scholarship offers out at quarterback: Michigan’s Bryce Underwood and Tennessee’s George MacIntyre. MacIntyre was on campus Friday for an overnight stay in Baton Rouge, while Underwood is set to return to LSU later this month.
On Saturday, the number of offers moved to three after the Tigers welcomed another one of the hottest quarterback names to campus with Ohio’s Tavien St. Clair‘s visit Baton Rouge.
LSU hands out QB offer No. 3 for 2025
While the Tigers entered the weekend with offers out to only MacIntyre and Underwood, LSU has done plenty of research on the rest of the 2025 quarterbacks – a group that’s deep with intriguing names who continue to emerge following sophomore seasons.
Now, Sloan and LSU have offered St. Clair following his weekend visit.
MacIntyre and Underwood have both made multiple visits to LSU across the past six months, as have other top quarterbacks from the 2025 class.
Sloan and the Tigers not only hosted MacIntyre on Friday, but also Top 300 quarterback Husan Longstreet out of California. Next week, a number of the top 2025 quarterbacks will be in attendance for camp, including the nation’s No. 4 quarterback prospect in Mississippi’s Deuce Knight. Underwood is expected to return to campus in June.
While it’s been made clear to Underwood and MacIntyre that the pair are LSU’s top targets over the past year, the move to extend a verbal scholarship to St. Clair adds another name to the offer board.

St. Clair sees his recruitment heat up
The 6-foot-3, 190-pound junior is quickly becoming one of the most-talked about quarterback prospects in the 2025 cycle.
Within an hour of St. Clair sharing the news of his LSU offer, Alabama and new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees dialed up the Ohio native with an offer from the Tide.
A week ago, Ohio State handed out the program’s third quarterback offer in the 2025 class when the Buckeyes extended a verbal scholarship to the in-state target.
Michigan is still keeping close tabs on St. Clair, who also holds offers from the likes of Florida, Tennessee and Penn State.
“My plan is to get up there to workout at a camp,” St. Clair said of his interest in Michigan. “(An offer) would be a big deal because I’ve been watching Michigan ever since I was a little kid. They’re a big-time program so getting an offer from them would be a big deal.”
With recent offers in from LSU, Alabama and Ohio State, St. Clair’s stock is on the rise as quarterback dominos begin to drop for next year’s recruiting cycle.
