Top-ranked football recruit picks LSU over Aggies
Briefly

Lamar Brown, ranked as ESPN's No. 1 overall recruit for the 2026 class, committed to LSU in a ceremony at the LSU campus. The 6-foot-5, 285-pound defensive tackle chose LSU over Texas A&M, Miami, and Texas after official visits. If he remains ranked No. 1 and signs later this year, he will be LSU's first top-ranked recruit since Leonard Fournette in 2014. Brown's decision reflects the strong local appeal of LSU and its proximity to his home in Baton Rouge, despite late competition from Texas A&M.
Brown's decision marks a significant achievement for LSU, as he becomes their first overall top-ranked recruit since Leonard Fournette in 2014, highlighting the program's local recruiting strength.
Despite strong competition, especially from Texas A&M, Brown chose LSU due to local ties and the allure of playing in front of home fans at Tiger Stadium.
