Where LSU football stands with the top uncommitted recruits in Louisiana
Where LSU football stands with the top uncommitted recruits in Louisiana LSU football's 2026 recruiting class ranks second in the country heading into summer camp thanks to a blend of highly ranked players from around the region and in the state. There's still plenty of talent on the board in Louisiana as LSU looks to keep building the class. A commitment from any or all would bolster arguably the best recruiting class of the Brian Kelly era. The Tigers' head coach and staff prioritized keeping the best in-state talents home, which shows in their 2026 haul. Six of their nine commitments are Louisiana natives, headlined by five-star and No. 1 defensive lineman Richard Anderson. Louisiana's top player in Lamar Brown is likely to commit to LSU, according to On3's prediction machine but who else are the Tigers heavily targeting? And can they flip the state's No. 3 prospect despite a verbal commitment to the national champions? Here are five uncommitted 2026 players from Louisiana that LSU fans should keep their eyes on. Five-star athlete Lamar Brown Ranked the No. 1 prospect out of the state No. 10 nationally, Brown is projected to pick the Tigers by On3 and 247Sports. The five-star prospect, who could play either defensive or offensive line, makes his announcement July 10. LSU has made Brown a priority throughout his process as it doesn't want a standout from its own backyard. He would be the third five-star prospect in the 2026 class alongside Anderson and wide receiver Tristen Keys. Four-star defensive lineman Dylan Berymon LSU missed the cut for Berymon's top-six and appears to be out of the race. Purdue looks to be the favorite for the top-20 defensive lineman, who hails from Monroe. The state's No. 8 prospect, Berymon once considered LSU to be a top contender, but the defensive tackle is heading out of state. Bo Davis vacating the defensive line coach position may have contributed. Three-star defensive lineman Darryus McKinley McKinley, a three-star defensive lineman from Lafayette, seems to be headed to Baton Rouge. On3's Prediction Machine gives him a 98.8% chance of teaming with his brother, Dominick, who enters his second season with the Tigers. Just like Brown, LSU likely won the race for McKinley. His familiarity with the school, combined with his high upside, would make him a great addition to the class. The state's No. 14 prospect plans to announce his commitment on Nov. 8. Three-star athlete Dezyrian Ellis LSU extended an offer to Ellis in February, and the Tigers are favored to land the rising athlete. On3 gives the Tigers a 99.7% chance to land a commitment from the state's No. 16 prospect. He took his only recorded trip to Baton Rouge, an unofficial visit in February. Listed as the class' No. 31 athlete, Ellis likely slots in at cornerback. He would join four-star corner Havon Finney as well as four-star safeties Dylan Purter and Aiden Hall. Can LSU flip five-star Blaine Bradford? Safety Blaine Bradford committed to Ohio State in March, but LSU won't give up on the five-star defender. Bradford's pledge to Ohio State seems firm, though. LSU doesn't like watching five-stars leave the state, especially with the Tigers' history of landing five-star defensive backs in Louisiana. Don't expect a flip now, but keep an eye on Bradford as signing day approaches in the winter.

Elite five-star athlete cancels FSU trip, locks in visit with Texas
Elite five-star athlete cancels FSU trip, locks in visit with Texas Texas currently has the No. 12 recruiting class in the nation for the 2026 cycle per On3. On Monday, they got some great news about a huge target of theirs, five-star athlete Lamar Brown. The 6-foot-4, 285-pounder was originally supposed to visit Florida State on June 6. He has reworked his schedule and canceled his trip to Tallahassee. Now, the Longhorns will host Brown on that date, which will proceed his visits to Texas A&M and LSU in the following weeks. Brown is the No. 8 overall prospect in the country and the No. 1 athlete per On3's industry rankings. They also have him as the No. 1 recruit in Louisiana. The Longhorns extended an offer to Brown last January. Despite this being his first reported visit to Austin after his offer, and not having them in his top four schools, Texas has been able to remain in the race for Brown due to his ties to new defensive ends coach LaAllan Clark. Brown is a dynamic player that has played all over the field. While On3 has him as an athlete, 247Sports has Brown listed as a defensive lineman and Rivals has him as an offensive line prospect. This explains why he has 33 offers from some of the top programs in the country.

Rivals listed LSU and Texas A&M as the front-runners. Should Brown chooses LSU, he would be the third five-star commitment in LSU's 2026 class, joining Tristen Keys and fellow Louisiana native Richard Anderson. He scheduled an official visit to Baton Rouge on June 20. Brown is the top-ranked recruit in the state of Louisiana, making him LSU's top priority.

Texas Longhorns set to host 2026 five-star offensive lineman
Texas Longhorns set to host 2026 five-star offensive lineman Texas not being in his top-five schools, Lamar Brown, is intrigued by what Steve Sarkisian and Co. have to offer. While the Texas Longhorns weren't at the top of his recruiting list, the Longhorns still managed to pull off a visit from 2026 five-star interior offensive lineman Lamar Brown. Edge coach LaAllan Clark recently visited Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to check in on Lamar Brown, a five-star offensive tackle from University Lab who is widely regarded as one of the top prospects in the 2026 recruiting class. Brown, who some analysts believe could also play defensive line at the collegiate level, responded to the visit by teasing a potential trip to Austin this summer. 'Might have to take a trip to Austin,' Brown wrote Thursday evening on social media, hinting at growing interest in the Longhorns program. Brown, currently projected to land with in-state LSU according to 247Sports' Zach Blostein, is ranked as the No. 1 interior lineman and the top player from Louisiana in the 2026 class. He is also rated as the nation's No. 15 overall player in the 247Sports Composite. In addition to his football premiere status, Brown is a standout in track and field, having claimed a Louisiana state championship in the shot put. The 6-foot-4, 285-pound Brown has already scheduled four official visits for the summer: Miami on May 30, Florida State on June 6, Texas A&M on June 13, and LSU on June 20.. With his recent social media post, Texas could soon join that list of destinations. Brown's versatility has made him a coveted recruit. 'Legitimate high-level two-way prospect as an interior O-lineman or potentially role-versatile front-line defender,' wrote 247Sports analyst Gabe Brooks. 'Projected for many months to IOL as a physical, athletic difference maker who could potentially provide across-the-front O-line versatility in college. However, indicates desire to play defense, which obviously must be considered in evaluation' Brown is expected to announce his college decision on July 10, giving any new contenders, including Texas, a narrow window to make their case. With the Longhorns looking to bolster their 2026 class, securing an official visit from Brown could be a significant step in the high-stakes recruitment of one of the nation's elite prospects.
