LSU football will host 2026 edge rusher Landon Barnes for a visit this weekend, according to a report from Rivals’ Sam Spiegelman. The four-star prospect cancelled a trip to Georgia and replaced it with a trip to Baton Rouge.
Texas and SMU are considered the frontrunners for Barnes’ commitment. However, it would appear that the Duncanville, TX native has an interest in LSU. All three schools made it into his top eight, along with Arizona State, Washington, Ohio State, and Georgia.
On3’s Industry Rankings put Barnes at No. 19 among Texas prospects in the 2026 cycle. He is No. 19 at his position and No. 118 nationally. LSU has yet to earn a commitment from a defensive end this cycle, but it appears they’re making a serious push for Barnes.
LSU’s 2026 class is first in the SEC and second nationally to USC, despite getting a commitment from four-star offensive tackle Emanuel Tucker earlier this week. Barnes would be the eleventh addition for the group built on keeping the best Louisiana prospects at home while hitting on some of the region’s top talents.
Duncanville is a Texas powerhouse, routinely producing top recruits. Barnes wouldn’t be the first Duncanville product to join LSU — its also where LSU running back Caden Durham played his high school ball.
