In a move that has fans across Baton Rouge celebrating, Jarvis Landry, one of the most beloved and dynamic wide receivers in LSU Tigers history, has returned to his alma mater as the new Wide Receivers Coach. Landry, a fan favorite during his time at LSU and a standout in the NFL, signed a $1.8 million annual contract to lead the Tigers’ wide receiver corps, bringing his unparalleled expertise and leadership to the program.
The announcement was made at a press conference held Thursday afternoon at the LSU Football Operations Center, where Athletic Director Scott Woodward and Head Coach Brian Kelly introduced Landry to the media and the passionate LSU fanbase. The former LSU star, who played for the Tigers from 2011 to 2013, was met with a wave of applause as he addressed the crowd and shared his excitement about returning to Baton Rouge.
“LSU is home to me,” Landry said, visibly excited. “This is where I made my name, and I’m thrilled to be back, helping to develop the next generation of LSU wide receivers. The fans, the atmosphere—it’s all special. Now, I get to give back to the program that gave me so much.”
Landry, who was an integral part of LSU’s offense during his college years, is widely regarded as one of the best wide receivers in the program’s history. Over three seasons at LSU, Landry recorded 137 receptions, 1,809 receiving yards, and 15 touchdowns, earning First-Team All-SEC honors in his junior year. His exceptional hands, precise route-running, and tenacity made him a nightmare for defenders and a beloved figure among LSU fans.
After leaving LSU, Landry was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft, where he immediately made an impact with his high-level playmaking ability. He quickly became one of the NFL’s top wide receivers, earning five Pro Bowl selections and cementing himself as one of the league’s most consistent and reliable playmakers. Currently playing for the Cleveland Browns, Landry is known for his fierce competitiveness, leadership, and ability to make big plays in clutch situations.
“Jarvis Landry is a natural leader,” said Coach Brian Kelly. “He’s played at the highest level and has the knowledge and experience to elevate our wide receiver group. His passion for LSU and his understanding of the game are second to none, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him back.”
As the new Wide Receivers Coach, Landry will work directly with LSU’s talented group of wide receivers, focusing on improving their technique, helping them refine their skills, and teaching them how to excel in the competitive SEC environment. He’ll also be instrumental in recruiting top-tier talent, using his status as an NFL star to attract some of the nation’s best wide receiver prospects to Baton Rouge.
The $1.8 million annual contract reflects the significance of Landry’s role and the importance LSU places on maintaining its legacy as one of the premier programs in college football. Landry’s return to LSU is seen as a major step in solidifying the Tigers’ future at the wide receiver position and enhancing their offensive production.
“Jarvis Landry is a household name in college and professional football, and his impact on LSU football is undeniable,” said Woodward. “His return is a testament to his commitment to LSU, and we’re confident he’ll have a significant impact on our program, both on the field and in recruiting.”
The announcement was met with an outpouring of excitement from LSU fans, many of whom fondly remember Landry’s standout performances during his time in Baton Rouge. Social media platforms quickly lit up with fans celebrating the return of one of their all-time favorites. #LandryIsBack, #LSUWideReceiverFactory, and #JarvisReturns began trending as LSU supporters expressed their joy and enthusiasm for the new coaching hire.
“Jarvis Landry is an LSU legend,” tweeted LSU superfan Carla Williams. “He’s going to be a game-changer for our wide receivers. I can’t wait to see what he does with these guys!”
Current LSU wide receivers are also excited about having Landry as their coach. Junior receiver Kayshon Boutte commented, “Having Jarvis Landry as a coach is a dream come true. He’s been where we want to be, and he knows exactly what it takes to make it at the next level. We’re going to learn so much from him.”
Landry’s coaching philosophy centers on building strong relationships with players and emphasizing the mental side of the game. His focus on film study, route precision, and mental toughness will likely be a game-changer for LSU’s wide receiver corps. His experience in the NFL and as a former LSU player gives him the unique ability to connect with his athletes on a personal level while teaching them the skills necessary to succeed at the highest levels.
“Football is about more than just physical talent,” Landry said. “It’s about mental discipline, attention to detail, and understanding the game inside and out. I’m here to teach these guys how to be complete receivers, how to dominate on the field, and how to carry themselves as professionals.”
With Landry now at the helm of LSU’s wide receiver group, the future looks bright for the Tigers’ offense. Landry’s experience, leadership, and passion for the program will no doubt inspire the next generation of LSU receivers to follow in his footsteps and achieve greatness both in college and beyond.
As the Tigers prepare for the 2025 season, LSU fans are eager to see Landry’s impact on the field. With a coach who knows what it takes to succeed at every level of football, the LSU Tigers are poised to have one of the most dynamic and talented wide receiver groups in the SEC.
