The Fourth of July, as it is every year, was jam-packed with college football recruiting news. A handful of blue-chip prospects around the country revealed their commitments and LSU football was at the center of the action. The Tigers missed some big names, but LSU added two priority recruits to its 2026 class.
LSU earned a commitment from four-star tackle Bryson Cooley out of Mississippi. Cooley’s commitment continued LSU’s run of success recruiting the state of Mississippi. Cooley joins five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys and four-star offensive tackle Emmanuel Tucker as 2026 LSU commits from the state.
LSU is now up to 14 commits. The headliners of the group are Keys and five-star defensive tackle Richard Anderson. Fifty-seven percent of the class hails from Louisiana.
After a busy week, the recruiting rankings look a little different. Here’s a look at where Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers sit in the latest recruiting rankings.

LSU ranks outside of the top five, but the Tigers are contending for the No. 1 recruiting class in college football. LSU doesn’t have the same quantity as other programs, but that will come in due time. LSU does hold the title when it comes to quality, though. LSU’s 2026 class ranks No. 1 in average recruit rating in both Rivals and 247Sports’ rankings.
