LSU football continued its push for the No. 1-ranked recruiting class in college football on Thursday. The Tigers picked up a commitment from five-star defensive tackle Lamar Brown. Per ESPN’s rankings, Brown is the No. 1 recruit in the country. He’s the consensus No. 1 player in the state of Louisiana and was likely the top prospect on LSU’s board.
It came down to LSU and Texas A&M, but the Tigers bested the Aggies.

Brown is commit No. 15 for Brian Kelly and LSU. He’s the third five-star to make an LSU pledge, joining defensive tackle Richard Anderson and wide receiver Tristen Keys.
LSU is on a heater right now, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Last week, LSU secured commitments from four-star defensive end Trenton Henderson and three-star safety Isaiah Washington.
It’s been a hectic week on the recruiting trail. That means we’ve had risers and fallers in the recruiting rankings. Here’s where LSU stands after adding Brown.
