LSU football misses on top tight end target, losing to SEC powerhouse

LSU football missed on one of its top tight end targets as four-star Brayden Fogle committed to Georgia on Friday. Fogle broke the news on social media.

Fogle selected the Bulldogs out of a top three that also included the Tigers and Penn State. The four-star prospect took official visits to all three at the end of May and into June.

On3’s Industry Rankings rank Fogle as the No. 10 tight end in the 2026 cycle. 247Sports is the highest on Fogle, slotting him at No. 132 overall. Both outlets put him at No. 7 or higher of recruits in Ohio.

With Fogle off the board, the Tigers are left with few quality tight-end targets left in the 2026 cycle. They likely need to put effort into flipping an already committed prospect if the position is still a priority. If LSU doesn’t find luck at the high school level, the Tigers will make an aggressive push for transfer portal tight ends after the season.

LSU’s 2026 class ranks No. 6 in the nation and No. 3 in the SEC following Fogle’s decision, according to On3’s Industry Rankings.
