A look at tonight’s roster:

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

The #LSU staff inked the No. 1 DL in Georgia last December: Deuce Geralds.

Now, the elite defensive tackle is up to 5.0 sacks + 5.0 TFL in Year 1…

On Monday, Kiffin broke down a moment while recruiting Geralds - seeing ex-LSU DL coach Bo Davis in the parking lot along the way:

BREAKING: #LSU has landed a commitment from the No. 4 CG in America: King Gibson.

Will Wade and Co. lock in the No. 16 overall prospect in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle after an official visit last week.

Now, he’s Baton Rouge bound. Massive win for LSU.

This is a big one. The No. 1 LB in Louisiana has made his way to Baton Rouge for an unofficial visit: Shamar Evans.

The 6’2, 205-pounder out of Ruston (La.) is a Top-10 linebacker in America with Lane Kiffin and #LSU swinging for the fences.

Now, a visit to Death Valley.

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

New: #LSU is hosting the No. 1 WR in Louisiana on an unofficial visit to Baton Rouge this weekend: Jacolby Campbell.

The 6’0, 170-pounder out of Abbeville (La.) is a Top-5 prospect in the Boot in the 2028 Recruiting Cycle.

Lane Kiffin and Co. are making their early push here.

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

New: LSU is pulling out all the stops for New Orleans (La.) 5-star WR Easton Royal.

On Friday, Ed Orgeron made his first recruiting trip in over 4 years to see the nation’s No. 2 WR.

Now, Lane Kiffin is turning up the heat + new visits are set.

LSU safety Jhase Thomas emerged as an offseason winner for Lane Kiffin and Co. - now taking over as a starter for the Tigers.

The Louisiana native is ready to represent the Boot and Destrehan…

“It means a lot to me… Being born and raised in Louisiana and coming to LSU.”

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

News: LSU LB Charles Ross II has suffered a season-ending ACL injury, Lane Kiffin revealed on Sunday.

Kiffin and Co. are now down:
- Trey’Dez Green + Whit Weeks for multiple weeks
- Dashawn Spears, Phillip Wright III + Ross for the remainder of the season

Injury bug continues.

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

News: #LSU star linebacker Whit Weeks suffered a fracture in his leg last night against Texas A&M, @mzenitz reports.

The Positive: It’s not currently viewed as a season-ending injury - and LSU is optimistic he can be back at some point in 2026.

Another unfortunate blow for LSU.

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

Welcome to the show, Jackson Harris.

The #LSU wideout made a statement in Week 4 with the breakout game Lane Kiffin and Co. have been waiting for.

- 6 receptions
- 163 yards
- 2 TDs

Sam Leavitt? 17/23 passing with 312 yards and 2 TDs.

There’s that passing attack…

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

#LSU EDGE Princewill Umanmielen is on a record-setting pace in 2026 under Blake Baker…

The Ole Miss transfer is up to 7.0 sacks on the season. He’s played in 4 games…

LSU’s single-season sack leader? Arden Key with 12.0 in 2016.

Record pace for Umanmielen… Unbelievable.

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

Lane Kiffin and the LSU staff inked the No. 1 DL in Georgia last December: Deuce Geralds.

Now, the Peach State’s all-time high school career sack leader is thriving Year 1 in the Boot…

Through 3.5 games:
- 3.0 sacks
- 4 TFLs
- 1 FF

The true freshman is making a statement…

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

This is a big one for #LSU. The No. 2 ATH in America has made his way into Death Valley: CJ Whaley.

The 6’4, 200-pounder out of Texas is a Top-60 prospect in the nation and an elite two-way weapon.

Now, Lane Kiffin and Co. have him on campus.

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

The No. 4 rated quarterback in America has touched down in Baton Rouge: Anthony Turner.

The 6’5, 190-pounder out of Virginia is in on an unofficial visit with Lane Kiffin and the #LSU staff looking to make a move.

“We’re really enjoying ourselves out here so far.”

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

#LSU QB Sam Leavitt addressed the team after Saturday’s loss at Ole Miss - stepping up as a leader in the locker room.

After rallying his troops, the Tigers are ready to get to work with a daunting schedule ahead in SEC play.

Winnie Watkins: “I trust and fully believe in Sam.”

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

#LSU S Ty Benefield has emerged as one of the leaders in Baton Rouge - and it’s easy to see why.

After making the move from Boise State to LSU, Benefield is keeping his mentality the same.

“I want the smoke … It’s why I came to LSU. I don’t care who I line up against.”

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

News: Lane Kiffin and Co. will be without safety Dashawn Spears for the remainder of the season.

An MRI today showed thar Spears suffered a season-ending ACL injury against Ole Miss, according to @mzenitz.

Brutal blow for #LSU with SEC play set to ramp up.

[Zack Nagy @znagy20]

News: #LSU TE Trey’Dez Green did not suffer any torn ligaments in his knee after being carted off of the field on Saturday, according to his mother.

Green will miss multiple games - but best case scenario for LSU’s star offensive weapon.

Tigers back in action next Saturday.
