LSU added another commitment in five-star edge rusher Chris Whitehead. Whitehead is the top prospect in Virginia and ranks as high as the number four edge rusher in the country. He joins a 2027 class with another top edge in the nation, five-star KJ Green.
Whitehead’s commitment comes just hours after LSU received a verbal pledge from Franklin Parish four-star running back Trey Martin. Martin is the top running back prospect in Louisiana. Franklin Parish football coach Adrian Burnnette says he’s a special athlete.
Lane Kiffin’s staff is red hot, adding nine commitments in less than two weeks. The Tigers have climbed all the way up to 19th in 247Sports’ recruiting class rankings after ranking 62nd just 11 days ago.
Lane Kiffin told former Tiger Tyrann Mathieu on his “In the Bayou” podcast that LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt is healthy and fully cleared for summer workouts. The Arizona State transfer missed much of last season with a nagging right foot injury.
Saints all-time sack leader Cameron Jordan is back for one final season in New Orleans. The 15-year vet signed an incentive-laden, one-year deal to likely finish his career with the team that drafted him in 2011. Jordan says GM Mickey Loomis told him he’d always have a job in New Orleans, and former teammates like Mark Ingram, Michael Thomas and Demario Davis all told him what he needed to do.
Louisiana Tech infielder Bradi Gallaway announced she’d be transferring to Texas Tech. Gallaway hit .317 with 12 doubles and 11 homers and started all 55 games as a freshman this season. She’ll join LSU softball ace Jayden Heavener in Lubbock.
