The top prospect in the 2026 recruiting class is far from making a final decision, but things are beginning to come together. Five-star offensive lineman Lamar Brown has released his Top 12 program list after visiting several schools this summer.
While some blue blood programs are just now figuring out how talented Brown is, I’d expect every notable program in the country to come calling by this time next summer.
After attending one of the Texas A&M’s camps, head coach Mike Elko and new offensive line coach Adam Cushing were blown away by Brown’s advanced footwork and strength in one-on-one pass-blocking reps.
While NIL and distance from Baton Rouge (LA) will play a part in his recruitment, Brown’s program list is very diverse, including LSU, Tulane, UCF, Michigan, Ole Miss, Miami, Tennessee, Alabama, USC, Florida State, Houston, and Texas A&M.
As he enters his junior season at University Lab HS, Lamar Brown is one of the most versatile prospects. His size, strength, and athleticism make him a potential asset on either side of the trenches, and his pass-rushing ability is a testament to his versatility, even as his collegiate position remains uncertain.
According to Rivals, Brown is currently positioned as the 14th-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the No. 1-ranked IOL, and the 2nd-ranked prospect in Louisiana.
