LSU coaching staff makes a strong early impression on talented 2026 quarterback

Julian Lewis picked up an offer after his LSU visit this weekend.

Quarterback recruiting can be a roller coaster, and in the NIL/transfer portal era, that’s only amplified.

You can’t put too much stock in what players will do years away from their signings, but with that being said, LSU is one of several programs making a strong impression on 2026 signal-caller [autotag]Julian Lewis[/autotag]. The current high school freshman from Carrollton (Ga.) isn’t rated by the major services, but he’s picked up several high-profile offers, including from USC, Ohio State and, most recently, LSU.

Lewis is a long way from making a decision, but he told 247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong that “everything” about LSU stood out after a weekend visit that netted him an offer.

“They are focused on the total player as a person. The coaches are really setting you up to be the best version of yourself.”

It’s easy to see why Lewis’ stock has taken off so quickly. In his first season at Carrollton, he completed 66% of his passes for 4,118 yards and 48 touchdowns. His recruiting process will almost certainly feature some twists and turns, but it seems the Tigers have put themselves in a good early spot.

[autotag]Heze Kent[/autotag] is a 6-foot-6, 245-pound EDGE rusher from the class of 2026. He is from Brunswick, Georgia where he plays for Brunswick High School. The Brunswick Pirates finished the 2022 season 10-1 with an overtime loss to Houston County in the first round of the GHSA 6A playoffs.

The Tigers have offered another 2026 prospect from Edna Karr High School in Richard Anderson.

[autotag]Richard Anderson[/autotag] is a 6-foot-4, 280-pound defensive lineman from the class of 2026. He is from New Orleans, where he plays for Edna Karr High School. The Edna Karr Cougars finished the 2022 season 7-4 with a loss to Catholic-B.R. in the second round of the playoffs.

With Edna Karr in LSU’s backyard, [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and his staff have been able to watch them play a few times this year and they have found a couple of freshmen standouts that they’ve offered.

Film Analysis: Hall is a star safety for Edna Karr with elite ball skills and coverage ability. He’s not afraid to come up in the run game and destroy a running back. He has time to grow into his frame and help polish his game before he gets close to making a college decision.
