As it stands, LSU has the 12th-best recruiting class in the country according to 247Sports. But as the program searches for a new head coach and awaits Lane Kiffin's decision, LSU's 2026 recruiting class ranking could change. Amid a coaching change, will commits stay true to LSU, or will some jump ship and look to play college football elsewhere?
Thankfully, several top recruits have already publicly stated that they are still committed to LSU amid Brian Kelly's firing. However, some prospects are looking elsewhere. Among those commits looking for a new home is 4-star DL Darryus McKinley.
