LSU commit bonded with new DL coach Jimmy Lindsey at camp this weekend

Ahmad Breaux had the opportunity to spend time with his future position coach this weekend.

The Tigers hosted their annual OL/DL camp this weekend, and in addition to the recruiting targets for current and future cycles, LSU also welcomed current commit [autotag]Ahmad Breaux[/autotag] to campus.

Breaux, a three-star prospect from Ruston who flipped from Duke to the Tigers back in March, got to spend some time around recently hired defensive line coach [autotag]Jimmy Lindsey[/autotag].

Lindsey joined the staff after spring practice, and he brings SEC experience to the table after spending the last two seasons in the same role at South Carolina. He participated in his first OL/DL camp with the Tigers this weekend, and it seems he made a good impression on Breaux.

Per On3’s Shea Dixon:

“Spending time with Coach Lindsey off the field was amazing,” Breaux said. “I really got to bond with him, and it allowed us to learn about each other. He’s a great man and an equally as great coach; the type of person that you would wish to have on your side.

“Our bond instantly clicked and we got tight. Those days were great experiences and I look forward to having more.”

When it came to on-field drills, Breaux said he felt his game grow even more in just a day’s worth of hands-on teaching from Lindsey.

“It felt like I was truly being coached by someone who wanted me to get better,” Breaux said. “Coach Lindsey coaches hard, and he directs you in the right direction so you truly get everything you can out of it.

“He really fits the coaching style I’m used to at my high school, because at Ruston they coach in a very similar way. I really feel like I got better that day while working with him.”

Lindsey has big shoes to fill in replacing one of the staff’s top recruiters in [autotag]Jamar Cain[/autotag], but it seems he’s already doing a lot of work to build relationships with not just the current roster but priority recruits, as well.

LSU makes 5-star edge rusher’s top 8

LSU has made the cut for one of the top 15 overall players in the class of 2024.

LSU has made the cut for one of the top 15 overall players in the class of 2024.

[autotag]Jordan Ross[/autotag] is a five-star edge rusher from Birmingham, Alabama, where he plays for 7A Vestavia Hills. The Rebels lost to eventual state champion, Thompson, in the second round of the 7A playoffs.

LSU made the cut for Ross’s top eighth along with Alabama, Texas, USC, Georgia, Florida, Oregon and Tennessee.

There are currently no Crystal Ball projections at this time for Ross, and there is no clear favorite to land him per On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine. Georgia has a slight lead so far as a 25.7% favorite.

LSU has 14 commits so far for the 2024 recruiting class including one edge rusher, three-star [autotag]Ahmad Breaux[/autotag] from Ruston, Louisiana. Landing one of the top players in the country for 2024 is a high priority for [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and his staff.

Where LSU’s 2024 recruiting class stands in the latest On3 rankings at the end of March

On3 ranks LSU’s class a bit lower than 247Sports.

There are still more than eight months between now and early signing day for the 2024 class in December, which is when history tells us the bulk of the class’ prospects will sign.

Though it’s early in the process, this cycle has the chance to be coach Brian Kelly’s best yet since taking over at LSU. The Tigers already have 11 players committed including a quarterback in [autotag]Colin Hurley[/autotag], a four-star Jacksonville, Florida, prospect from powerhouse Trinity Christian, who reclassified from the 2025 class.

In the month of March, the Tigers added a trio of players in four-star linebackers [autotag]Kolaj Cobbins[/autotag] and [autotag]Dahvon Keys[/autotag], as well as three-star EDGE [autotag]Ahmad Breaux[/autotag], who LSU managed to flip from Duke.

Things will really start to heat up in the coming months when most prospects begin to take their official visits in the summer, but for now, here’s how things stand in the latest On3 industry recruiting rankings.

LSU flips Duke commit Ahmad Breaux after junior day visit

The Tigers now have the No. 2 class in the country after landing a pair of commitments this weekend.

LSU added its 10th commitment in the 2024 recruiting class on Sunday when it flipped edge rusher [autotag]Ahmad Breaux[/autotag], a three-star edge rusher from Ruston, Louisiana, from the Duke Blue Devils.

Breaux was in Baton Rouge on Saturday as a visitor for LSU’s junior day, and he picked up an offer while on his unofficial visit. He committed to the Tigers the next day, opting to stay home and play in the SEC.

Listed at 6-foot-3 and 255 pounds, Breaux is the No. 707 player nationally and No. 16 prospect in Louisiana, according to the 247Sports Composite. He’s a trending player who’s picked up a number of Power Five offers in recent weeks. He had an official visit set for Stanford this week, though it’s unclear if he still intends to make that trip.

Breaux detailed his visit with 247Sports’ Sonny Shipp.

“My day was one of the best experiences ever,” Breaux told 247Sports after he got the offer. “I was warmly welcomed by the entire staff as soon as I came in the football operations center and I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

“The biggest highlight of the day was when I had a great conversation with Coach Matt House, and he gave me a true insight into a system that truly fits me, and it opened my eyes entirely to LSU.”

With the additions of Breaux and linebacker [autotag]Kolaj Cobbins[/autotag], a top-five prospect in Louisiana who committed to the Tigers on Friday, coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] now boasts the No. 2 recruiting class in 2024 as things currently stand.

Louisiana EDGE, Duke commit Ahmad Breaux sets LSU visit

Breaux is yet to pick up an LSU offer, but that could change after his visit for junior day.

Three-star Ruston edge rusher [autotag]Ahmad Breaux[/autotag] has set an unofficial visit with LSU on March 4, he told On3’s Sam Spiegelman (subscription required).

Breaux, who is originally from South Carolina but moved to northern Louisiana, has been committed to the Duke Blue Devils since Jan. 26. But he’s picked up some more interest in the meantime, including from the in-state Tigers, who have yet to offer him.

That could change during Breaux’s visit, which will take place during LSU’s junior day. With the dead period ending after February, that will be the team’s first major recruiting weekend in a while, and there will be a lot of talent in town.

Breaux will hope to pick up that offer from the Tigers this trip. He has been in constant contact with LSU defensive line coach Jamar Cain and director of recruiting JR Belton, a northern Louisiana native, he told Spiegelman. This will be Breaux’s second trip to campus after he visited for a game in the fall.
