The Tigers have a strong recruiting class in the works for the 2025 cycle, and now, they have their first pledge in the subsequent 2026 cycle.
On Friday night, four-star Edna Karr (New Orleans) defensive lineman [autotag]Richard Anderson[/autotag] became the first commit in LSU’s 2026 class. Anderson ranks as the No. 7 overall player in the state of Louisiana and the No. 131 prospect nationally, according to On3.
Anderson, who stands at 6-foot-3.5 and weighs 325 pounds, had previously taken two unofficial visits to Baton Rouge, and he received a pair of predictions in favor of the Tigers from On3’s Billy Embody and Shea Dixon back in March.

LSU’s 2025 class ranks No. 2 in the nation at the moment, and it will hope to close the current cycle strong and enter the next one with some momentum. Anderson gives the Tigers a strong start.
