LSU hasn’t had a problem attracting top-flight receiver talent. Between 2009 and 2019, the Tigers signed five five-star wide receivers: Rueben Randle, Jarvis Landry, Malachi Dupre, Tyron Johnson and Terrace Marshall.
Getting talented wide receivers to Baton Rouge wasn’t the problem. The issue was until last year, LSU never had the proper offense in place to utilize the talents of those first four names. Randle made first-team All-SEC in 2011 and Landry showed what LSU could be in 2013; but the Tigers couldn’t keep the offensive breakthrough in 2013 going and Dupre had a rather unremarkable career, while Johnson transferred after his freshman season.
