LSU football’s recruiting efforts remain active across both the 2025 and 2026 cycles, with their latest scholarship offer grabbing attention.
This week, Brian Kelly and the Tigers extended an offer to Faizon Brandon, ranked as the third-best quarterback in the nation for the 2026 class. Brandon, a highly regarded four-star recruit hailing from North Carolina, has amassed 16 scholarship offers as he approaches his junior year at Grimsley High School, where he helped lead his team to an impressive 13-1 record as a sophomore.
LSU’s quarterback market strategy is coming together as they anticipate the departure of Heisman winner Jayden Daniels, with Garrett Nussmeier poised to step in as the next quarterback. Additionally, the Tigers boast an abundance of talent, including 5-star recruit Bryce Underwood from the 2025 class, who committed to LSU on January 6, causing a stir in college football recruiting circles.
Underwood’s commitment signals a significant victory for LSU, positioning them as a top destination for elite prospects. The Tigers, led by Brian Kelly and Joe Sloan, made a recent trip to Michigan to further solidify their pursuit of Underwood, highlighting their ongoing dedication to securing his commitment.
Underwood’s decision is highly anticipated, given his status as one of the most coveted prospects in recent memory. LSU’s relentless recruitment efforts, coupled with Sloan’s diligent approach, have played a pivotal role in their pursuit of Underwood, who has made multiple visits to Baton Rouge, including some on special family occasions.
Although the recruitment process for Underwood will continue until December, LSU has secured a verbal commitment from one of the nation’s top recruits, affirming their standing as a powerhouse program with aspirations for sustained success.
