LSU Tigers, led by head coach Lane Kiffin, are ramping up their recruitment efforts during the upcoming Early Signing Period, focusing on flipping highly-rated recruits from rival programs. The Tigers have already secured commitments from several players, including JC Anderson (four-star tight end), Ryan Miret (three-star offensive lineman), and Corey Barber (four-star wide receiver), all of whom previously committed to Ole Miss. Most notably, LSU is making a strong late push for Landon Duckworth, a four-star quarterback from Jackson, Alabama, currently committed to South Carolina. Duckworth, ranked as the No. 10 quarterback prospect in the 2026 class, had committed to the Gamecocks over Ole Miss and Auburn last summer. Despite his verbal commitment, LSU is reportedly gaining momentum in their pursuit, with sources indicating the staff is intensifying efforts to sway him before signing day. Duckworth stands at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds, and has offers from multiple programs. The recruitment battle reflects LSU's broader strategy to strengthen their roster with high-profile prospects during this critical period.
