LSU football picked up two crucial commitments for its 2026 class to kick off August.
Defensive linemen Darryus McKinley and Deuce Geralds chose the Tigers in their announcements over the weekend. Both rank inside the top 50 at their position and were predicted to choose LSU for much of their recruitment.
Despite the big weekend, it wasn’t enough to move LSU in the recruiting rankings. The additions to LSU’s class didn’t boost its overall standing. Rivals’ Industry Rankings and 247Sports both slot the Tigers’ group at No. 8 nationally and No. 5 in the SEC.
Of the teams in 247Sports’ top 10, LSU had the second-to-last amount of commitments at 18, one ahead of No. 7 Oregon. National No. 1 Georgia has 31 commitments, followed by USC with 32.
LSU’s group possesses two consensus five-star prospects in defensive end Lamar Brown and wide receiver Tristen Keys. 78% of the class are blue chip recruits, meaning most of the class is made up of four and five-star players.
56% of LSU’s class hails from Louisiana. Head coach Brian Kelly made keeping the best in-state players at home a priority this cycle, which paid off in getting eight of the state’s top 10 prospects to choose the Tigers.
