Mon Sep 15 15:20:00 UTC 2025: ## LSU Lands Elite Quarterback Recruit for 2027 Class
**BATON ROUGE, LA** – LSU’s quarterback recruiting future looks bright after landing a commitment from four-star quarterback Peyton Houston for the 2027 class. The Evangel Christian Academy standout chose to stay in-state, pledging to the Tigers on Monday following an unofficial visit for the Florida game.
Houston, ranked as the No. 11 quarterback nationally in the 2027 class by 247Sports, is the first commitment for LSU in that year. The 5-foot-11, 200-pound prospect boasts impressive sophomore season stats: 4,480 passing yards, 38 touchdowns, and a 70% completion rate, along with 690 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns. He’s continued his strong play this season, completing 68% of his passes for 664 yards and 5 touchdowns, adding 189 rushing yards and 2 scores on the ground.
“Advanced natural passer with quick delivery,” noted 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks, adding that Houston is an “elite performer in camp settings thanks to release quickness, accuracy, and ball placement.” Brooks projects Houston to be a “potential multi-year starter” at the Power Four level.
LSU Offensive Coordinator Joe Sloan identified Houston as a top target early in the recruiting process, offering him a scholarship along with Elijah Haven and Colton Nussmeier within a 2-day period when coaches could officially offer 2027 prospects. While the Tigers are still searching for a quarterback in the 2026 class, Houston’s commitment provides a solid foundation for the future of the LSU quarterback room. Geaux247 will have more on this commitment and what it means for LSU.
