Jabari Mack’s recruiting profile

Jabari Mack is the No. 8 wide receiver in his class, ranking at No. 77 overall per On3. He became the fourth WR to commit to the LSU Tigers’ 2026 class. Brian Kelly’s side already received the pledges of four-star Jakai Anderson, four-star Kenny Darby and the No. 1 wideout nationally, Tristen Keys.

Mack’s top four schools included LSU, Ohio State, Texas and Texas A&M. He had hinted at what draws him to the Tigers in a February interview with On3.

“A big part of it for LSU is that stay-home mentality," Mack said. "I hear that a lot from the coaches. I am always hearing from coach Hankton, coach Sloan and coach Wilson. The staff is cool, and I like coach Hankton a lot because he keeps it real. He develops receivers too. LSU is easy for me to get to, and I like the environment up there. It feels crazy on game day.”

According to On3, LSU’s 2026 class is No. 1 nationally.
