LSU Target Decommits From Mississippi State
LSU Target Decommits From Mississippi State originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The LSU Tigers own the No. 2 recruiting class in 2026 and are looking to add quite a few more pieces before it's all said and done. On Monday, they got some good news about one of their top targets. Advertisement Emanuel Tucker, a four-star offensive tackle in the 2026 class, announced he was decomitting from Mississippi State and will be opening his recruitment back up. Oct 7, 2023; Columbia, Missouri, USA; A general view of a LSU Tigers helmet against the Missouri Tigers during the first half at Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsDenny Medley-USA TODAY Sports Tucker ranks as a four-star and the No. 203 overall recruit in the 2026 class according to On3's Industry Rankings. The former Mississippi State commit is the No. 16 offensive tackle in the class and would be a massive addition to LSU's offensive line, which only has one tackle at the moment. Tucker's decommitment comes at an opportune time for LSU and other schools trying to secure his commitment. He just visited Ole Miss and will be making his way to Baton Rouge shortly, so they'll have a chance to make a lasting impression on Tucker. Advertisement LSU's 2026 class ranks second behind USC, who currently have 27 commitments. The Tigers are less than .200 points behind the Trojans despite having just nine commitments. The Tigers' 2026 class contains two five-stars (Richard Anderson, Tristen Keys), six four-stars and one three-star. If they can close things out with Tucker, they'll inch even closer to Lincoln Riley's class. With some new NIL dollars and an elite recruiting staff, LSU is going to be a threat to sign the No. 1 class pretty much every year. They lock down the state of Louisiana and aren't afraid to go out of state to get a guy they really like. We'll have see if Brad Davis and Brian Kelly can get things done with Tucker, but it would be a big get for their 2026 class if they can.
