Five-star 2026 edge Anthony Jones will visit LSU football, according to a report from On3’s Chad Simmons. The Tigers are one of seven teams scheduled to host Jones over the summer.
Auburn and Alabama, the two schools Jones visited the most, are the frontrunners for his commitment but LSU will look to make an impression during his trip to Baton Rouge. The top player out of Alabama, Jones ranks as the No. 3 edge and No. 18 overall player, according to On3’s Industry Rankings.
Should Jones choose LSU, he would join the SEC’s top 2026 class as the first commitment at defensive end. The Tigers’ group already has an Alabama native in safety Dylan Purter and would benefit from a third five-star prospect in addition to Tristen Keys and Richard Anderson.
Jones likely will announce his decision ahead of his senior season at St. Paul’s Episcopal High School. LSU could move back into the top spot nationally if Jones joins its 2026 class as it would have the most five-star prospects at three.
