LSU head coach Brian Kelly picked up the top-ranked 2026 recruit in the nation.
Lamar Brown, who's ranked No. 1 out of all 2026 recruits by ESPN, committed to LSU, he announced Thursday. The five-star defensive tackle picked the Tigers over Texas A&M, Texas, and Miami.
Brown is the second five-star prospect to commit to LSU after wide receiver Tristen Keys officially joined the Tigers' program in March.
LSU's 2026 haul also contains eight four-star recruits.
Brown is a Louisiana native, hailing from Baton Rouge. He visited LSU on June 20 before committing to the program.
