Lane Kiffin ended his first early signing period at LSU in a big way Friday, landing a signature from five-star defensive line commit Lamar Brown.
Brown, who is from Baton Rouge, La., committed to the Tigers’ previous coaching staff under Brian Kelly in July. He made his commitment official to Kiffin on the third and final day of this week’s early signing period.
A 6-foot-4, 285-pound prospect, Brown is the No. 2 overall player in the 2026 recruiting class according to the 247Sports composite rankings. He’s the second five-star defensive lineman to sign with LSU this week along with Richard Anderson Jr. (the No. 29 overall prospect in the class), who signed Wednesday.
It was originally reported Tuesday that both Brown and Anderson were not considering signing this week due to Kiffin’s defensive coaching staff not yet being complete.
Kiffin officially took the LSU job Sunday, leaving Ole Miss after six seasons before a College Football Playoff run which is expected to start in two weeks.
LSU’s 2026 class ranks 13th nationally in the 247Sports composite class rankings. But the Tigers’ 93.81 average recruit ranking is the best in the country.
