LSU and coach Brian Kelly secured the program's first top 300 pledge in more than two months Wednesday night when the Tigers beat Florida and Texas to the commitment of four-star defensive end Trenton Henderson, No. 61 in the 2026 ESPN 300.
Henderson, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound pass rusher from Pensacola, Florida, is ESPN's No. 8 defensive end prospect in the current cycle. The 12th-ranked recruit in the state of Florida in 2026, Henderson took official visits with each of his finalists, along with Auburn and Michigan, this spring before narrowing his recruitment to LSU, Florida and Texas last month.
