Top LSU football recruiting target reveals decision date. Will LSU land the five-star?
One of LSU football's top recruiting targets revealed a decision date. Darius Gray, a five-star offensive lineman, will commit on August 22. Gray's five finalists are LSU, Tennessee, Ohio State, Clemson, and South Carolina. LSU and South Carolina are considered the front-runners for Gray's services. According to the Rivals' Prediction Machine, LSU is the favorite with a 51.1% chance to land Gray. South Carolina is No. 2 with a 32.5% shot at Gray. Per the Rivals' Industry Rankings, Gray is a five-star and the No. 1-ranked interior offensive lineman in the class of 2026. 247Sports is the highest on Gray, slotting the Virginia product as the No. 16 overall recruit. ESPN isn't quite as high on Gray, placing him No. 73 overall. LSU and offensive line coach Brad Davis have already secured four offensive line commitments in the class of 2026. Gray would be the fifth and the highest-ranked of the bunch. The top-ranked offensive lineman already in the fold is four-star tackle Brysten Martinez, the No. 9-ranked tackle in the class. LSU is contending for the No. 1-ranked recruiting class in 2026. The Tigers' class is loaded at the top, but Brian Kelly and staff are still looking to add volume. Landing Gray would keep LSU in the race for the top class.
