There are only seven players from Louisiana with four stars in the updated Rivals 2021 rankings. That is awfully low. This year there ended up being 16 (2020). There were 19 in 2019, 15 in 2018 and 14 in 2017. Tulane has not gotten to the point where it has signed 4-star Louisiana recruits, but it has signed high 3 stars under Fritz and has made huge inroads in Louisiana. If this is a down year for Louisiana high school football prospect, it will be interesting to see what happens in the next class.
Here are the early 2021 4-star totals from other states:
Texas 41
Florida 35
Georgia 26
California 25
Maryland 13
Ohio 11
Michigan 11
North Carolina 11
Alabama 9
Pennsylvania 9
Tennessee 8
Virginia 7
New Jersey 6
Mississippi 5
