LSU Lands Elite Defensive Line Class Despite Staff Shakeup
6 Dec, 2025
Summary
- LSU secured crucial defensive line recruits during the early signing period.
- Top recruits Richard Anderson, Trenton Henderson, Lamar Brown, and Deuce Geralds signed.
- Recruiting efforts continued despite expected defensive coordinator Blake Baker's departure.
The LSU Tigers, under the guidance of Lane Kiffin, celebrated a highly successful early signing period, particularly bolstering their defensive line. The program welcomed crucial recruits Richard Anderson, Trenton Henderson, Lamar Brown, and Deuce Geralds. These signings represent one of the best defensive line classes in the school's history.
The commitment of these top prospects remained strong despite recent shifts in the defensive coaching staff. While official announcements are pending, it is widely believed that defensive coordinator and key recruiter Blake Baker will depart for the Tulane Green Wave. Nevertheless, LSU managed to retain its highly-rated defensive line recruits.
Notable signees include Lamar Brown, one of the nation's top recruits, and Richard Anderson, the country's top-ranked defensive lineman. Deuce Geralds, while the lowest-ranked of the group, is a highly regarded prospect whose father played for Ole Miss. EDGE rusher Trenton Henderson also committed, choosing LSU over other prominent programs.
