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. Advertisement 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.

SI cover model Livvy Dunne says she's being stalked in airports by 'middle-aged men'
Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne said in a TikTok video Friday that she's fearful she is being stalked in airports. The 22-year-old, who has built a large social media following, said that whenever she is at an airport, she encounters what she described as 'at least 10 middle-aged men' who harass her and attempt to get her autograph. "There's a group of autograph seekers who are able to know private flight information," Dunne said in a statement Saturday to NBC News. "I am not the only female athlete who experiences this. It's scary because they simply don't take no for an answer." In her video, Dunne said the men have a stack of 40 pictures of her or her magazines and follow her down TSA PreCheck lines to sign the copies. If she does not, the men become hostile and start to yell, Dunne said. Dunne said the men make a scene and scare other travelers who happen to be nearby. The SI model then shared a video of her crying Friday morning after a red-eye flight, saying a group of men circled her at baggage claim. The harassment occurs when Dunne is attending big events or going on family vacations, she said in the video. In the caption, she wrote that the men know the 'time, place, airport, everything.' 'I know I'm chronically online and I post my life, but I'm talking about like a 20-minute connecting flight through Omaha, Nebraska,' Dunne said. 'They would be waiting there. I'm not making content on a connecting flight.' Dunne also said the same issue happens to another female athlete, track-and-field star Gabby Thomas, who took home gold in the women's 200 meters at the Paris Olympics. Thomas posted a video on TikTok in January describing a similar experience to Dunne's — saying a group of three to six middle-aged men harass her to sign about 40 pictures of herself when she travels through airports. The men would sometimes appear at Thomas' gate, she said, 'which means they have flight tickets and they get past security and all that.' Thomas added that the men will get 'aggressive and hostile' if she refuses to sign the photos. 'I don't know how they're getting my flight information and it's really starting to freak me out,' she said. This article was originally published on

LSU football target releases top three, reveals commitment date
LSU football target releases top three, reveals commitment date NEWS: Elite 2026 DL JaReylan McCoy is down to Florida, LSU, & Texas, he tells me for @on3recruits The 6'7 245 DL from Tupelo, MS will announce his College Decision on July 1st Where Should He Go? ⬇️ — Hayes Fawcett (@Hayesfawcett3) May 29, 2025 LSU football made the final three for 2026 defensive lineman JaReylan McCoy, according to a report from On3's Hayes Fawcett on Thursday. McCoy, who decommitted from LSU in February, named the Tigers, Florida and Texas as his top three options. He will announce his decision on July 1 after reopening his recruitment earlier this year. The four-star prospect is No. 8 out of Mississippi and No. 17 at his position, according to On3's Industry Rankings. He's currently on an official visit to the Gators and has trips scheduled for June to Texas, Ole Miss, and LSU. McCoy would add to the nation's top class in the 2026 cycle. The six-foot-seven, 245-pounder would be the second commit at his position alongside five-star Richard Anderson. Head coach Brian Kelly's staff made enough of an impact on him the first time around. With other schools still in the race, expect the Tigers to pull out all the stops to regain the services of one of the region's top prospects.

LSU football hosts ex-Florida commit on a visit this weekend
LSU football hosts ex-Florida commit on a visit this weekend LSU football is set to host one of the nation's top safeties on an official visit this weekend. According to On3's Steve Wiltfong, four-star Devin Jackson lined up a visit to LSU on May 31. The visit will be the first of five official trips, followed by Miami, Oregon, Penn State, and Nebraska. Jackson, a member of the 2026 class, is a Florida native and ranks as the No. 215 overall recruit and No. 23 safety in the class, per the On3 Industry Rankings. Jackson was once committed to Florida, but the Gators could be out of the race after being absent on Jackson's official visit list. LSU secondary coach Corey Raymond was at Florida in 2023 and was a member of the Gators' staff when UF initially offered Jackson. That relationship could pay off for LSU as Jackson's recruitment heats up. Raymond is considered one of the top recruiters in college football and has a history of landing elite secondary talent from Florida. LSU football's 2026 class ranks No. 2 in the country, headlined by five-stars Tristen Keys and Richard Anderson. Jackson would be the third blue-chip safety to join LSU's class. That's big after LSU missed on Louisiana native Blaine Bradford, who committed to Ohio State earlier this year.
