At 6-foot-4 and 181 pounds, Sampson is the No. 3 wide receiver and No. 32 recruit in the nation from the Class of 2023. The Catholic Baton Rouge star has also collected offers from Georgia, Florida and Oklahoma.

MAC MARKWAY COMMITS TO LSU: LSU football lands 4-star tight end and top-100 recruit Mac Markway

MICHAEL DAUGHERTY COMMITS TO LSU: 4-star Georgia safety Michael Daugherty has committed to LSU football

Sampson, if he were to commit to LSU, would be the highest-rated recruit in its 2023 class. Mac Markway, a four-star tight end and the No. 99 player in the nation, is currently the Tigers' most highly-regarded commit.

LSU has the No. 17 recruiting class in the nation and last week added commitments from four-star safeties Ryan Yaites and Michael Daugherty. The Tigers do have one wide receiver committed – also their only in-state recruit – in four-star prospect Omarion Miller.
