Four-star recruit includes LSU football in top 10 schools

LSU football added a four-star offensive lineman to its 2026 recruiting class. On Monday, LSU got more good news on the recruiting front.

Four-star interior offensive lineman Canon Pickett included LSU in his final 10, according to a social media post from On3’s Hayes Fawcett. Per On3, Pickett is the No. 229 ranked recruit in 2026 and No. 33 at his position.

247Sports isn’t as high on Pickett, slotting the Florida native as a three-star and the No. 48 ranked offensive linemen in the class.

LSU may have a slight edge in Pickett’s recruit after adding Alex Atkins to the staff. Atkins was Pickett’s original recruiter when he was the offensive coordinator at Florida State. Now, Atkins is in Baton Rouge working as LSU’s tight ends coach and run game coordinator. With Atkins gone, FSU remained in Pickett’s top 10.

Pickett included a handful of SEC powerhouses along with LSU, including Georgia and Alabama.

According to On3, LSU football’s 2026 recruiting class ranks No. 3 in college football and is the top-ranked class in the SEC. With only six commitments on board, it’s still early in the cycle, but LSU is off to a good start.
