LAFAYETTE — Louisiana football continued to build its 2027 recruiting class over the weekend, securing commitments from two prospects who were on campus for official visits.
Wylie (Texas) athlete Jabriran Blake announced his commitment to the Ragin' Cajuns on Saturday, while East View (Texas) offensive lineman Adarius Hines pledged to Louisiana on Sunday.
Blake, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound prospect, currently plays quarterback at Wylie but is being recruited by the Cajuns as a defensive back. Known for his speed, Blake has posted a reported 4.35-second 40-yard dash time.
Blake chose Louisiana over Texas State.
Hines gives the Cajuns another addition in the trenches. The 6-foot-6, 325-pound offensive lineman selected Louisiana over fellow finalists Texas State and North Texas.
Both players took official visits to Lafayette during the weekend before announcing their decisions.
