The LSU Football team has commitments from some of the Nation's top recruits while they're in play for a few more massive talents. The Tigers have one of the highest-ranked recruits ever in Bryce Underwood and the Tigers have a few top targets that cracked ESPN's Top 25 recruits regardless of class.

1. Bryce Underwood - LSU Commit - 2025 Recruiting Class

For Bryce Underwood its another day with the top ranking on a recruiting list which makes you wonder why Rivals still has underwood ranked third in the 2025 recruiting class. In many ways, Underwood's commitment means a ton as not only will LSU have the benefit of having him on the field but, the Tigers get the boost that Underwood gives them in recruiting pitches. Once Underwood gets onto campus, LSU fans will be clamoring to get a look at the five-star quarterback.

2. Jahkeem Stewart - LSU Target - 2026 Recruiting Class

The top player in the 2026 recruiting class hails from Louisiana giving the LSU Tigers an incredible chance to repeat in landing the Nation's top recruit. The LSU Football team hosted Jahkeem Stewart this weekend for Bayou Splash and seemingly furthered the solid relationship the two sides have built. If Jahkeem Stewart ends up reclassifying into the 2025 recruiting class, it would give the Tigers third-ranked recruiting class another massive boost.

12. Lamar Brown - LSU Target - 2026 Recruiting Class

The state of Louisiana has arguably more talent than its had in a long time with six of the top 100 recruits in the class. The reason that Lamar Brown makes this list is that he could easily be one of the top defensive line recruits in addition to the offensive line where he ranks as the nation's fifth-ranked recruit. LSU is one of Brown's final 12 ahead of his November 1st commitment date and they sit in a solid position as one of the five schools that has gotten an official visit from Brown.

13. Jackson Cantwell - LSU Target - 2026 Recruiting Class

The LSU Football team got another one of the Nation's top recruits in the 2026 recruiting class when they got the 4th-ranked recruit in the country and the second-ranked tackle in the country on campus for Bayou Splash. In-state Missouri will be tough to beat out for Cantwell but, with LSU's recent success developing offensive linemen they'll have a serious chance at landing Cantwell.

16. Jonah Williams - LSU Target - 2025 Recruiting Class

Not only is Jonah Williams one of the best football players in the country but, he's also one of the top baseball recruits as well. LSU was supposed to get Jonah Williams onto campus this weekend for Bayou Splash but, he had to reschedule for this upcoming week. Landing Jonah Williams would be massive for LSU in football and baseball as he could become one of the Nation's best safeties and one of Jay Johnson's best arms.

The biggest omissions from this list from LSU are:

The biggest omission by far has to be LSU commit five-star defensive back DJ Pickett especially as there are less proven 2028 recruits that have made the list. Pickett has recorded 1,900 yards and 27 touchdowns over the past two season while being the Nation's top cornerback. Harlem Berry has been ranked by nearly every recruiting site as the top running back in the country and should have cracked the list.
