LSU football secured a commitment from its top recruiting target on Thursday. Five-star defensive tackle Lamar Brown will stay home and play for the Tigers. Brown announced his commitment live on ESPN2 from University High in Baton Rouge.
Brown is the top-ranked player in the state of Louisiana. Some rankings, including ESPN, slot Brown as the No. 1 overall recruit in the class. Brown is a two-way star on the high school field, but he’s trending towards playing defense at the next level.
With the addition, Brian Kelly and LSU remain in the race for the No. 1 class in the country. Brown is the third five-star to commit to LSU in the 2026 cycle, joining defensive tackle Richard Anderson and wide receiver Tristen Keys.
Brown’s commitment was a legitimate mystery entering the day, but reports suggested the race was between LSU and Texas A&M. LSU and Texas A&M are used to battling for top prospects between Houston and New Orleans, but LSU won the battle here. It would have been a rough look if LSU lost Louisiana’s top prospect to a conference rival. However, the battle isn’t over. Mike Elko and Texas A&M will continue to make their pitch until Brown signs.
