COLLEGE RECRUITING RANKINGS

The most talented incoming freshman classes

- TEDDY CAHILL

A dozen top 100 prospects for the 2022 draft made it to campus, including Indianapolis prep righthander Andrew Dutkanych, who was ranked as the No. 35 prospect when he withdrew his name from the draft.

Dutkanych honored his Vanderbilt commitment and was the top draft prospect to make it to campus. The majority of the other top 100 draft prospects who headed to college are attending SEC rival Louisiana State. The Tigers add righthanders Jaden Noot (No. 71) and Chase Shores (90), catcher Brady Neal (83) and shortstop/ righthander Gavin Guidry (86), a Louisiana prep product.

TOP RECRUIT: Jaden Noot, RHP (No. 71)

OVERVIEW: After Jay Johnson and his staff were hired last summer, they went to work and supplemented what was already a strong recruiting class with more high-end talent. The result is that even after losing five commits on the first day of the draft, LSU still brings in more players ranked as top500 draft prospects than any other school. This is the Tigers’ third No. 1 class in the 23-year history of the rankings and their first since 2018.
