LSU lands 4-star linebacker Kolaj Cobbins

The Tigers landed their ninth commitment in the 2024 class on Friday night.

The Tigers’ 2024 recruiting class is shaping up to be a special one, and the team added its ninth commit in the cycle on Friday night in four-star Destrehan (La.) linebacker [autotag]Kolaj Cobbins[/autotag].

Cobbins ranks just inside the national top 200 according to 247Sports, and he becomes the fifth top-200 commitment for LSU in the class, which currently ranks third nationally. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound prospect chose the in-state Tigers over Texas, Michigan, Ole Miss, Colorado and others.

The recruiting trail has been key for what coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] is building at LSU. He landed the No. 6 high school recruiting class in 2023, and he could be in line to land yet another top-five class.

With a few more additions like Cobbins, it will certainly be within the realm of possibility.
