LSU lands No. 1 college football recruit Lamar Brown in huge get
The No. 1 recruit in the 2026 recruiting class, according to ESPN's rankings, is off the board. The five-star defensive tackle Lamar Brown is committing to his home state school, LSU. 'For the next three or four years, I will be committing to Louisiana State University.' Brown said as he put on the LSU cap on Thursday. 'Go Tigers.' LSU beat out its SEC rivals, Texas and Texas A&M, for the 6-foot-4, 285-pound defensive tackle. Sources told ESPN that Brown was still between LSU and Texas A&M as late as Wednesday night. Brown is from Baton Rouge, where the LSU campus is located. He's now entering his senior season of football at University Lab High School. Brown is also a multi-sport athlete competing in both discus and shot put events in track and field. In his primary sport, football, Brown has played on both sides of the ball. This spring, though, he has focused most of his attention on defense. In his three seasons at the varsity level, Brown recorded 91 tackles and eight sacks. 'I get to play Saturday nights at Death Valley, that's all,' Brown said when asked about what he's excited for at LSU. 'I'm going to win the National Championship. Brown is not the only five-star recruit committed to LSU. Tristen Keys and Trenton Henderson also headline Brian Kelly's 2026 recruiting class. The recruiting class is ranked seventh in the nation. Even before Brown steps on campus, LSU is primed and ready to make a deep run in the 2025 season, as they are bringing in a top transfer class heading into next season. LSU brings back quarterback Garrett Nussmeier as the Tigers try to make the College Football Playoff after missing out in 2024.

LSU Commit and Nation's No. 2 Recruit Sends Clear Pitch to 5-Star Prospect
LSU Commit and Nation's No. 2 Recruit Sends Clear Pitch to 5-Star Prospect originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One of the biggest names left uncommitted in the 2026 recruiting class is interior offensive lineman Darius Gray out of Richmond, Virginia, but that will soon change. Advertisement On Sunday, Rivals' Hayes Fawcett reported that he's down to five schools: the LSU Tigers, South Carolina Gamecocks, Clemson Tigers, Ohio State Buckeyes and Tennessee Volunteers. It's a high-powered race, and LSU is even receiving some help from a fellow member of the 2026 class: Lamar Brown, a dual-threat athlete and the nation's No. 2 recruit, per Rivals Industry Rankings. After the final schools were announced, Brown made his pitch to Gray, saying, "BATON ROUGE IS HOME DG!!! @dariusgrayy_," via an X post. Advertisement Rivals Industry Rankings place him as a five-star recruit, the No. 1 interior offensive lineman, the No. 2 player in Virginia and the No. 31 player in the nation. It will remain to be seen if Brown's message to his fellow recruit pays off, and as of now, things look good with the Rivals recruiting prediction machine giving LSU the best chance to land his services (51.1%). The programs' rich history may also come into play for Gray's decision, as he told Steve Wiltfong, "They have the player development for my position and the top school of development for offensive linemen.' Advertisement LSU Tigers coach Brian Kelly, who landed ATH Lamar Brown, is aiming for IOL Darius Chenault-Imagn Images If the Tigers and coach Brian Kelly do come out on top, Gray has the chance to become their third five-star recruit in this year's cycle, joining Brown and wide receiver Tristen Keys.

Paul Finebaum shares take on what LSU's Brian Kelly said at SEC media days
LSU football head coach Brian Kelly met with the media on Monday at SEC media days. This event serves as an annual reminder that the college football season is getting closer and closer. Kelly's statement at the main stage addressed a variety of topics, from LSU's current team to the state of college sports. Kelly has been around a long time and is a seasoned veteran when it comes to media days. Advertisement Just as Kelly left the stage, the SEC Network cut to Paul Finebaum. What stood out most to the SEC Network commentator was Kelly's confidence. "Usually, when a coach goes on for exactly 12 minutes without answering questions, it makes it appear that he doesn't want to answer them. But he did, and he does. And I don't want to say this is a new Brian Kelly because he's 60 years old and he's had an extraordinary career, but this is Brian Kelly embracing the noise," Finebaum said from the SEC Network set. "He's like, I don't care. And some would say, well, don't you think he's putting more pressure on himself? You can't put any more pressure on yourself when you're coaching at a school where in the aftermath of Nick Saban, Les Miles, and Ed O all won national championships, and people are saying, this is your fourth year, when are you going to win one?" Finebaum said its a unique moment for Kelly at LSU, but he said he thinks Kelly believes this is the year LSU can back it up.

How Clemson football's Dabo Swinney mistook LSU's Brian Kelly for a country singer this summer
CLEMSON — Somehow Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney confused his Week 1 coaching opponent with a musician while on vacation this summer. Swinney said July 15 during Clemson's preseason availability that he and his wife, Kathleen, visited Grayton Beach in Florida with one of his brothers and his wife, who informed Dabo and Kathleen that Brian Kelley was having a concert there, and the musician's wife also has a gift shop there. Assuming it was LSU coach Brian Kelly, Dabo said Kathleen purchased an item to support the shop, and Dabo took pictures of the concert stage and imagery and sent them to his first-week opponent. It wasn't until Dabo Swinney's brother's friend told Kathleen it was Brian Kelley, the country singer from the group Florida Georgia Line, that they realized their mistake. "Kath goes, 'Babe, it's Brian Kelley. He's a singer with the Florida Georgia Line,' and I went 'What?' " Dabo Swinney said. "I've been firing all these pictures off to Brian Kelly. He's probably over there saying, 'What is this dude doing?' " Swinney admitted the LSU coach was probably confused about the context of the photos but he had responded to the messages anyway, saying something along the lines of "You can't get away from Brian Kelly." How could he? It is one of the most anticipated matchups this season. Clemson hosts LSU on Aug. 30 (7:30 p.m. ET, ABC) at Memorial Stadium. Both teams have quarterbacks with Heisman Trophy hopes (Clemson's Cade Klubnik, LSU's Garrett Nussmeier) and Hall of Fame-level coaching. Klubnik said last month that he began preparing for the marquee game during the first week of July. Kelly also has emphasized the importance of this matchup, saying at SEC media days on July 14 that Clemson's logo has been plastered on workout bags at LSU's facility this summer for motivation.

"It's on every monitor in the building to go 1-0. I think it was important to have a tangible, specific goal for us to start the season." Kelly, who is 0-3 in Week 1 games in his LSU tenure, said Tiger Stadium is the real "Death Valley," which is what Clemson calls Memorial Stadium. His comments didn't seem to bother Swinney. "It ain't gonna have nothing to do with blocking and tackling and executing it on game day, so it makes it fun, but just go focus on what we gotta do," Swinney said. He said he will share a laugh with Kelly if he sees the video of Swinney talking about the case of mistaken identity. He also has extended an invite to Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley to come perform at Clemson. Derrian Carter covers Clemson athletics for The Greenville News and the USA TODAY Network.
