LSU fans shouldn't panic, though. It's normal for recruits to let the official visit process play out, even if they're already committed to another school. Keys is a top talent and schools will push to flip until pen hits paper.
Look for Ole Miss to remain in pursuit of the Mississippi native, too. But LSU remains in a good spot.
Keys isn't the only blue-chip receiver committed to LSU. The Tigers also hold pledges from Kenny Darby and Jabari Mack. The three recently took the field for a workout together.
LSU's 2026 recruiting class currently ranks No. 1 in the country. Keys is one of two five-stars in the class, joined by defensive linemen Richard Anderson.

2026 4-star Edge and Texas A&M commit is visiting Washington
2026 4-star Edge and Texas A&M commit is visiting Washington Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class is on track to see a significant boost this summer, especially this weekend, as coach Mike Elko and his staff are currently hosting 18 prospects from the 2026 class, including six commits, led by four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory. However, five-star wide receiver and LSU commit Tristen Keys is also on campus. After hiring former Miami Recruiting Director and assistant WR coach David Cooney, the Aggies have a very good chance to flip the elite pass catcher soon. However, according to Rivals recruiting insider Adam Gorney, four-star edge Texas A&M commit Samu Moala could be the Aggies' first realistic flip candidate, as the California product will reportedly visit Washington this weekend. The Huskies, like Oregon, focus on California for the bulk of the program's recruiting and have done a solid job this offseason of hosting several elite 2026 prospects. However, after committing in late October of last year, Texas A&M will be the final team to host Moala on June 20, meaning the Aggies are still in the driver's seat to keep him committed ahead of Early Signing Day in early December. On the field, there's a reason Moala is highly sought after, as he has improved every season, recording 52 tackles, three sacks, two tackles for loss, an interception, and nine hurries during his 2024 junior season. On offense, Moala hauled in five receptions for 86 yards and one touchdown. According to 247Sports, Moala is currently positioned as the 27th-ranked Edge and 26th-ranked prospect in California.

Why did Liam Doyle transfer from Ole Miss? Tennessee ace leading Vols into super regionals
Why did Liam Doyle transfer from Ole Miss? Tennessee ace leading Vols into super regionals Show Caption Hide Caption Miami coach Brian Smiley, Tennessee's Tony Vitello on Vols NCAA win Miami coach Brian Smiley, Tennessee's Tony Vitello on Vols NCAA win Tennessee baseball's Liam Doyle has been the best pitcher in college baseball this season, but it wasn't always easy for the southpaw. Doyle, a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award and the nation's leader in strikeouts, is a rare three-time transfer. He started his career at Coastal Carolina, before transferring to Ole Miss and then the Vols. It was in 2025 he developed into a likely top-10 pick in the upcoming 2025 MLB Draft. The 21-year-old from Derry, New Hampshire tossed 6 2/3 innings against Miami (Ohio) in the Knoxville Regional, allowing one run on four hits with 11 strikeouts. Three days later, he pitched 2 1/3 innings for Tennessee in relief, striking out five hitters and allowing no runs. REQUIRED READING: 2025 MLB draft prospects: Top college players in NCAA baseball tournament Doyle will almost certainly receive the ball for Game 1 of the Fayetteville Super Regional against Arkansas, looking to get the Vols back to the College World Series after the Vols won the national championship last season. Here's a look at Doyle's path in 2025, including why he transferred from Ole Miss in the offseason: Why did Liam Doyle transfer from Ole Miss? To put it in simplest terms, Doyle didn't showcase his best stuff for the Rebels in 2024. The left-hander served as Ole Miss' Saturday starter in 2024, but turned in a 5.73 ERA in 55 innings, despite possessing high-end strikeout numbers with 84 punchouts. His transfer to Ole Miss came after spending his freshman season at Coastal Carolina, where he had a 4.15 ERA in 56 1/3 innings. Doyle transferred to Tennessee alongside former Ole Miss teammate Andrew Fischer, with Fischer also potentially being a first-round pick alongside Doyle in 2025. Fischer and Doyle were roommates at Ole Miss, and Fischer has slugged 24 home runs at Tennessee this season. "We transferred out of Ole Miss together trying to just better our careers and success in the future," Doyle told GoVols247 after Tennessee played Ole Miss earlier this season. "We both feel as if we did that." Doyle added: "It is what it is. College sports are how they are nowadays, and I had to do what was best for me to better my career. It sucked. I loved Oxford. It was cool. But I'm so blessed and fortunate to be where I am now, knowing I made the right move for my career and this season." Doyle was electric in his lone start against Ole Miss this season, allowing two runs on three hits across 8 1/3 innings, striking out 14. Liam Doyle stats

French Open: Coco Gauff digs deep to beat Keys and will face 361st-ranked Boisson in the semifinals
PARIS (AP) — Coco Gauff kept double-faulting. She kept missing plenty of other strokes. She kept losing games in bunches. And all the while, she would let out a sigh or bow her head or look generally uncomfortable. What the 21-year-old Gauff never did Wednesday during a tense and topsy-turvy French Open quarterfinal against another American woman with a Grand Slam title, Madison Keys, was give up hope or go away. And, in a contest filled with plenty of mistakes, it was Gauff who emerged to grab eight of the last nine games for a 6-7 (6), 6-4, 6-1 victory over Keys and a third trip to the semifinals at Roland-Garros. Advertisement 'I have had that in me from a young age," said the No. 2-seeded Gauff, who won the 2023 U.S. Open as a teenager and was the French Open runner-up the year before. 'When times become more difficult, knowing that I can dig deep in those tough moments.' Where did that come from? 'Just a love to win, the will to win. It's not something that's taught or anything. It's just I have always had that in me, and not just in tennis but in everything. I'm a very competitive person,' she said. 'My philosophy is if I can just leave it all out there, then the loss will hurt a lot less than regrets of maybe not giving it your all.' Gauff needed to overcame 10 double-faults — three in the opening tiebreaker alone — and the first set she's dropped in the tournament, as well as deal with the big-hitting Keys, the No. 7 seed, who entered with an 11-match Grand Slam winning streak after her title at the Australian Open in January. Advertisement They combined for 101 unforced errors and just 40 winners across more than two hours under a closed roof at Court Philippe-Chatrier on a drizzly, chilly day. Nearly half of the games — 14 of 29 — featured breaks of serve. But from 4-all in the second set, Gauff held four times in a row while pulling away. She made two unforced errors in the last set, including just one double-fault. After falling behind 4-1 at the start, and twice being a single point from trailing 5-1, Gauff switched to a racket with a different tension in the strings to see if that would help. 'Maybe it did, and maybe it didn't. I'd like to think that it helped a little bit," she said. "Sometimes that stuff could just be mental. Maybe you're thinking, 'Oh, I changed my racket, I'm going to play better, and you start doing it. I don't know.' Advertisement She'll play Thursday for a berth in another major final, facing 361st-ranked French wild-card entry Loïs Boisson, who is on one of the most stunning runs in tennis history. Boisson beat No. 6 Mirra Andreeva 7-6 (6), 6-3 in the quarterfinals to follow up her upset of No. 3 Jessica Pegula in the fourth round. Boisson, 22, is the first woman to reach the semifinals in her Grand Slam debut since 1989, when Monica Seles and Jennifer Capriati both did it at the French Open. A crowd that offered support to Gauff against Keys via shouts of 'Allez, Coco!' was raucous as can be behind Boisson, rattling the 18-year-old Andreeva. The other women's semifinal is quite a matchup: three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek vs. No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka. They advanced with quarterfinal victories Tuesday. It was Swiatek who stopped Gauff at Roland-Garros in the semifinals last year and in the final three years ago. Advertisement 'I have a lot more work left to do,' said Gauff, who raised her arms overhead then spread them wide apart after the last point against Keys, 'but I'm going to savor this one today.' Repeatedly, Gauff scrambled this way or that to get her racket on a shot from Keys and send it back, often leading to a miss. 'The court being a little bit slower, coupled with the fact that she covers the court so well, just put a little bit of pressure on me to go a little bit more for my shots and maybe press a little bit too much, too soon,' said Keys, who occasionally admonished herself with a slap on her right leg. 'There were a lot of points where I felt like, playing someone else," Keys said, 'I would have won the point.' ___ More AP tennis: Howard Fendrich, The Associated Press
