Five-star power forward Oliviyah Edwards is one of the most coveted prospects from the Class of 2026, ranked No. 4 in her class, according to 247Sports. On Monday, she was in action during the Army National Guard Next Up 5s event under the tutelage of LSU star Flau'Jae Johnson, who was her coach for the game.

With Edwards spending much time with the LSU star during the game, there is now some talk of the five-star power forward possibly choosing to go to LSU next year. Several fans in the comments section think so.

Several schools are already targeting Oliviyah Edwards, including LSU, which currently has the No. 1 ranking in the Class of 2025 recruitment classes after getting four five-star recruits from the class, including Grace Knox, ZaKiyah Johnson, Divine Bourrage and Bella Hines.

In addition, MiLaysia Fulwiley is transferring from South Carolina to LSU, giving the Tigers possibly one of the most loaded rosters coming into the 2025-2026 season.

Aside from LSU, Oliviyah Edwards also has interest from South Carolina, which she has already visited unofficially, as well as her hometown school in Washington. She is also entertaining offers from Duke, Florida, Florida State, LSU, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Tennessee, USC and more.

With all these offers, Edwards noted in a May 13 interview with Sports Illustrated that she is taking her time in choosing between all these schools.

"I am going to push (the decision) as far back as possible," she said. "With coaches (movement) and the transfer portal, I want to wait and see what it looks like. I don't want to commit too early. So I am probably going to do it next summer."

For now, she is focusing on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit, where she plays for the Northwest Greyhounds.
