Eve Jewell of ESPN's SEC Network reports that LSU first year O.C. Anthony High indicates that he has been impressed with the progression of Tigers junior QB Rob Mason (83 ovr) up to this point in the season.

Mason, a third year starter, has thrown for 1,629 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions so far this season to go along with 76 carries for 362 rushing yards, and 4 touchdowns. His 362 rushing yards represent a career-high, despite having only 76 carries this season compared to 136 carries for 159 yards as a freshman and 161 carries for 354 yards as a sophomore. The Gretna, Louisiana native and former 4-star recruit has accounted for a total of 10 touchdowns in his last three starts, including a 5 touchdown, 0 turnover game in this past weekend's win at Kentucky, and drew the praises of High during his media conference on Monday.
"I could not be happier about the way things have been going with Rob, or "White Mike" as some of the guys around here like to call him," said High of Mason, who has also contributed 41 receiving yards on 3 receptions this season which all went for first downs. "He's really starting to get a good grasp of the newly installed playbook and as I indicated back when I was hired, I think this kid has the potential to be special.
"I'm backing myself into a corner here since we only have him for this year and hopefully next year, but I honestly feel as though we can win an SEC Championship with this young man under center, and you can print that...as long as you guys don't go run and tell Coach Geezy I said it," High added with a wink as he walked out of the media room to laughter.

Jordan Hebert, a former LSU cheerleader and now a graduate student reporter for LSUSports.net, reports that the LSU Tigers will have a total of six prospects visiting their campus this weekend when they face arch rival Auburn, including 4-star North Carolina QB Johnnie James (6-2, 190 pounds, 5.02 40-time, #11 rated QB prospect), 4-star Texas LB Derek Kerr (6-4, 252 pounds, 4.38 40-time, #9 rated MLB prospect), and 4-star South Carolina WR Christian Smith (5-10, 172 pounds, 4.52 40-time, #6 rated WR).
According to team sources, Kerr is and has been the #1 rated player on LSU's recruiting board since the start of the team's 2028 recruiting campaign, and with his incredible size and speed, the team believes he could be a "game-changing player" for the Tigers' defense immediately. It is believed that LSU is "neck-and-neck" with Texas A&M and Oklahoma for the Wells Branch, Texas native's services, according to Rivals.com.
Rounding out the team's list of visits this week are 3-star California ATH/DB Tommy Stewart III (6-2, 205 pounds, 4.44 40-time, #43 rated ATH prospect), 3-star Louisiana RB Darryl "D.J." Weaver (5-8, 208 pounds, 4.42 40-time, #67 rated RB prospect, juco-jr.), and 2-star Louisiana TE Devon Beck (6-5, 275 pounds, 4.62 40-time, #74 rated TE prospect, juco-so.).
