LSU Lands 5-Star Recruit Amidst Coaching Change
6 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Five-star defensive lineman Lamar Brown committed to LSU.
- Brown is the No. 2 overall player in the 2026 recruiting class.
- Lane Kiffin secured the commitment shortly after taking the LSU job.
Five-star defensive lineman Lamar Brown has officially committed to LSU, significantly boosting the Tigers' 2026 recruiting class. Brown, who hails from Baton Rouge, made his commitment official on Friday, the last day of the early signing period. This move solidifies LSU's position as a top recruiting program.
The 6-foot-4, 285-pound prospect is currently ranked as the No. 2 overall player in the 2026 class by the 247Sports composite rankings. He joins another five-star defensive lineman, Richard Anderson Jr., who signed earlier in the week, marking a strong showing for LSU's defensive front.
Brown's commitment comes just days after Lane Kiffin officially took the helm at LSU, having departed Ole Miss. Despite initial reports that some recruits were waiting for Kiffin's defensive coaching staff to be finalized, this signing underscores Kiffin's immediate influence on the recruiting trail.
