LSU football is in the middle of a tough battle for a four-star linebacker.

Four-star linebacker Jeremiah Williams is one of LSU football‘s top 2021 defensive recruiting targets.

Williams, 6-foot-3/224 lbs from Birmingham, AL (Ramsay), is rated in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 5 player in the state of Alabama and the No. 105 overall recruit in the nation.

The Alabama native recently revealed his top six schools and he included LSU, along with Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida, and Oklahoma.

Rivals recruiting analyst Chad Simmons recently ranked the contenders for Williams and he has LSU as the third most likely team to land the dynamic linebacker, behind Florida and Auburn.
