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.

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.

Four-star linebacker from Alabama announces visit to LSU A 2026 linebacker recruit took to social media to announce a visit to LSU. JJ Bush will visit LSU on June 13, the third of four Summer visits on the slate. Bush will also make trips to Missouri, Cincinnati, and Arkansas over the summer. The three-star prospect ranks No. 16 in Alabama and No. 36 at his position, according to On3's Industry Rankings. 247Sports is the highest on Bush, slotting the LB as a four-star and No. 14 nationally at his position. The Theodore, AL native is also considering offers from other Power Four schools. On3's Prediction Machine gives Miami the best chance to land his commitment, followed by Tulane. LSU's 2026 class ranks No. 2 in the country, but the Tigers have a need at linebacker. Bush would be the first linebacker commitment and second Alabama native alongside four-star safety Dylan Purter, who hails from Tuskegee. Bush made positive comments about his relationship with the Tigers' staff following his first trip to campus in April.

Elite four-star wide receiver prospect makes visit to LSU
Elite four-star wide receiver prospect makes visit to LSU Elite 2027 wide receiver recruit Monshun Sales visited LSU, marking a second trip to Baton Rouge for the four-star pass catcher. The Indiana prospect earned offers from a plethora of Power Four programs, including Tennessee, Alabama, and Ole Miss. Hailing from the Midwest, Sales also received offers from multiple Big Ten schools. According to On3's Industry Rankings, Sales ranks as the top prospect out of Indiana, No. 3 at his position, and 18 nationally. At six-foot-three and 180 pounds, Sales possesses the basic measurables needed to stand out on the recruiting trail. Under Brian Kelly, LSU makes its money cleaning up on the Louisiana recruiting trail, but the staff finds success recruiting on a national level, too. Kelly spent years coaching in the Midwest, which could help with LSU's recruitment of Sales. The Tigers also haven't lost focus on prospects in their backyard as two of the 2027 class's top-20 prospects, Louisiana natives Elijah Haven and Ahmad Hudson, are projected to stay home. LSU's 2026 class is already loaded at wide receiver. The Tigers have a commitment from five-star Tristen Keys, the No. 1 wide receiver in the country. Louisiana products Kenny Darby and Jabari Mack are also on board. LSU will look to stay hot recruiting wide receivers in 2027 in its pursuit of Sales.
