LSU and coach Brian Kelly scored a huge win Thursday, keeping local product Lamar Brown -- the nation's No. 1 defensive lineman in the Class of 2026 -- home.
The 6-foot-4, 285-pound prospect plays at University Laboratory High School in Baton Rouge. He chose the Tigers over Miami, Texas and Texas A&M in a ceremony that aired live on ESPN.
The ESPN 300 lists him as the No. 1 player in the Class of 2026. The 247Sports composite, which compiles and averages information from top recruiting sites, ranks him as the No. 1 defensive lineman and No. 5 player overall.
A multi-sport athlete, he won the Louisiana 3A discus championship in outdoor competition, as well as the indoor state title in the shot put.
He is the third five-star prospect to commit to LSU's 2026 class, joining wide receiver Tristen Keys of Hattiesburg, Miss., and edge Trenton Henderson of Pensacola, Fla. The 247Sports composite ranks the Tigers as having the No. 7 class in the nation.
