The Recap: Brian Kelly, LSU Football Wrap Up Pivotal Stretch on Recruiting Trail
Kelly and the Bayou Bengals dish out multiple new offers, check in with priority prospects on the road.
Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers staff remain focused on building up the program for the long haul with their recruiting efforts ramping up in the 2026 Recruiting Class.
Kelly and Co. hold six commitments in next year’s cycle to this point with an emphasis on Louisiana, but the staff is now extending their focus nationally.
The staff traveled across America with stops in Georgia, Virginia, Florida, Mississippi, and Texas, among others, to get face-to-face meetings together with top targets.
It was a beneficial week for the staff with the LSU program looking to build upon what is shaping up to be an impressive haul in the 2026 cycle.
A recap of the week for Kelly and his staff that included visits across the country, new offers out and a top commitment shutting down his recruitment:
Kingston (Ga.) quarterback Brodie McWhorter is back on the market after backing off of his pledge to West Virginia with multiple programs in touch with the Peach State native.
McWhorter, a three-star signal-caller in the 2026 Recruiting Class, has been wined and dined by several schools with coaching staffs now holding in-home visits.
Along with in-home visits, he’s hit the recruiting trail this month with the NCAA Dead Period lifted after taking a trip to Starkville to see Mississippi State last weekend.
Now, LSU is entering the mix after co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Joe Sloan, hit the road to check in with McWhorter on Monday.
