LSU football received a commitment from another top prospect in its backyard. 2026 safety Isaiah Washington will stay home to play for the Tigers.

The No. 3 safety out of Louisiana, Washington gained traction in his recruiting process over the last several weeks. He garnered eight offers towards the end of his junior year at Haynesville High School, including Arkansas and Tulane.

Washington is the state’s No. 23 prospect and No. 67 at his position nationally. The six-foot-one, 170-pounder received a visit from LSU safeties coach Jake Olsen in his hometown before making two trips to Baton Rouge mid-June, which sealed the deal.

The Haynesville, LA native is the eighth in-state prospect to choose LSU and the fifth defensive back. Washington joins a class ranked sixth nationally and third in the SEC.

Washington is LSU’s second commitment of the day, following offensive tackle Bryson Cooley. Brian Kelly and staff are gaining momentum as LSU looks to make a run at the No. 1 overall recruiting class.

LSU’s 2026 class has 14 commits, including two five-stars and nine four-stars.
