LSU joins Alabama, Florida State, Oregon, Ohio State, USC, Texas A&M, Nebraska, SMU and Texas in the final 10. [autotag]Elijah Barnes[/autotag] is a 6-foot-2, 225-pound, four-star linebacker from Dallas where he plays for Skyline High School. The Skyline Raiders finished the 2023 season 3-7 with a loss to Waxahachie in their last game of the season.

There are no Crystal Ball projections at this time for Barnes but Texas is a 90% favorite to land him per On3.LSU’s 2025 recruiting class is currently ranked as the No. 3 class in the country by 247Sports and the Tigers have one linebacker currently committed in that class. Four-star linebacker [autotag]Keylan Moses[/autotag] is the linebacker currently committed to LSU.

Adding Barnes with Moses could make a dangerous duo for LSU.
