Brother Martin wide receiver Easton Royal finished his official visits this weekend with a trip to Texas. The Longhorns commit is the top receiver in the class, and LSU and Florida have led the charge to flip his commitment. Tigerbait.com’s Preston Guy says the Tigers are building momentum.

Cut 19 (18) “…enticed with.”

Guy says the Texas visit was largely business. While LSU’s NIL offer may not be as much as the Longhorns’, he believes it’s getting closer.

The Tigers are making headway on flipping another Texas commit. Four-star safety Greedy James committed to the Longhorns nearly seven months ago, but both 247Sports and On3.com have switched their predictions to LSU. 2-4-7 ranks him as the number five safety in the country and the 11th overall prospect in the Lone Star State.

Former LSU head coach Brian Kelly is headed to the broadcast booth. Kelly signed a deal with CBS Sports as a color analyst, mostly calling Mountain West football games this season. He will also be on their weekday studio show, Inside College Football.

The Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame will welcome a new class of 12 Louisiana sports icons this weekend. Former LSU and Atlanta Falcons center Todd McClure is one of four Tigers to be honored. A Baton Rouge native, McClure says he’s honored to join such a special group.

Cut 6 (11) “…truly humbled.”

McClure was a four-year starter at LSU and a first-team All-American. He’s joined by former Saints wide receiver and Falcons teammate Joe Horn in the 2026 class.

The Pelicans did not trade into the first round of the NBA draft despite reports that forward Trey Murphy may want out of New Orleans. The Pels hold the 58th overall pick in tonight’s second round.
