LSU Tigers Secure Top-10 DL Commit, Bolster 2026 Defensive Haul
3 Aug
Summary
- LSU adds top-10 defensive lineman Deuce Geralds to 2026 class
- Also landed 5-star Louisiana prospect Lamar Brown this summer
- Defensive line coach Kyle Williams and edge coach Kevin Peoples leading the charge
As of August 3rd, 2025, the LSU Tigers are continuing their recruiting prowess under head coach Brian Kelly. The Bayou Bengals have secured a commitment from top-10 defensive lineman Deuce Geralds, who chose LSU over offers from Oregon, Michigan, and Ohio State.
This latest addition comes just months after LSU landed a commitment from Lamar Brown, the No. 1 overall recruit in Louisiana. The 6-foot-4, 285-pound defensive tackle chose to stay home and play for the Tigers, citing his strong relationship with the coaching staff and the opportunity to represent his home state.
With Geralds and Brown now in the fold, LSU's 2026 recruiting class is shaping up to be a defensive juggernaut. Defensive line coach Kyle Williams and edge rushers coach Kevin Peoples have been instrumental in the Tigers' success on the recruiting trail this offseason.
The Tigers' defensive line haul is expected to continue making waves, as 5-star edge rusher Trenton Henderson from Florida is also committed to LSU for 2026. This elite group of defensive prospects will undoubtedly bolster the Tigers' defensive unit in the years to come.
