"LSU pledge Lamar Brown, the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2026 ESPN 300, is not expected to sign during the early signing period this week, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN Tuesday night. Brown, a 6-foot-5, 285-pound defensive tackle from Erwinville, Louisiana, remains verbally committed to the Tigers. Per ESPN sources, Brown intends to wait for newly-hired coach Lane Kiffin to assemble his LSU coaching staff before signing, placing an air of uncertainty over the nation's top recruit on the eve of the 2026 early signing period."
"Brown has been the cornerstone of the Tigers' 2026 class since he committed to LSU over Texas A&M and Miami on July 10. Despite flip efforts from the Aggies and Hurricanes, Brown maintained his pledge following coach Brian Kelly's firing in October and met with Kiffin shortly after the former Ole Miss coach landed on campus this past Sunday. Kiffin, who brought six assistants to LSU from Ole Miss, is in the process of assembling his new coaching staff."
