As Brian Kelly and his staff continue to round out their 2026 recruiting class, one player they have had their sights set on is running back KJ Edwards. Hailing from Carthage, TX, Edwards is the No. 2 running back in the country according to 247Sports.
Edwards has been committed to the Texas A&M Aggies since June, but has kept his recruitment open. Despite his commitment to Mike Elko and the Aggies, the Tigers have remained in contact with the highly-touted recruit over the last several months. Edwards made a visit to LSU over the summer and was back in Baton Rouge for LSU's win over Florida in Week 3.
