LSU football projected to miss on top tight end recruiting target, losing to SEC power
According to the On3 Industry Rankings, Fogle is the No. 10-ranked tight end in the 2026 recruiting class. 247Sports is the highest on Fogle, slotting the Ohio prospect as the No. 132-ranked recruit in the country.
Fogle is one of the top tight ends left on the board, and if Georgia continues to trend as the favorite, it leaves LSU with recruiting questions at the tight end position. LSU only signed one player at the position last year and would likely need to turn its attention towards flip candidates.
Fogle is slated to announce his commitment on July 4.
Ahead of Fogle's announcement, LSU's 2026 class ranks No. 5 nationally, per Rivals.
Even if LSU misses on Fogle, the Tigers are sitting pretty in the pass-catching department. LSU's 2026 wide receiver crop is the best in the country, headlined by five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys.

Rece Davis still questions Georgia's quarterback Gunner Stockton
ESPN college football expert and "College GameDay" host Rece Davis is not fully sold on Georgia Bulldogs star quarterback Gunner Stockton ahead of the 2025 college football season. "Even though we saw some of Gunner Stockton, albeit in very difficult circumstances for Gunner Stockton, I still think there's a question for Georgia at quarterback," Davis said on the "ESPN College GameDay" podcast. Davis thinks Georgia did a good job in the transfer portal and likes USC transfer wide receiver Zachariah Branch. "A lot of the quarterback races will come down to who will win the locker room," added Davis. He thinks that Stockton, a former four-star recruit, has the physical ability and should win over the locker room a little more than Carson Beck. However, Davis still needs to see how Stockton performs. "I have a lot of confidence in him (Stockton) and I do want to see it," Davis said. Davis was notably more confident in Texas than Georgia. He thinks Texas will at least advance to the SEC championship for a second consecutive season. Davis doesn't necessarily doubt Georgia, but he wants to see how Gunner Stockton does after having a full season to prepare as the starter. Davis is impressed with Stockton's 1984 Ford pickup truck in this era of college football. While other quarterbacks are driving luxury cars, Stockton is staying humble. Stockton and Georgia will have a chance to prove they are national championship contenders starting on Aug. 30 against Marshall. Follow UGAWire on Instagram or Threads!
