2023 LSU Tigers Snapshot Profile: No. 97 Dylan Carpenter

Dylan Carpenter was one of three defensive lineman recruits who committed to LSU as part of the 2023 recruiting class.

Going into the 2023 football season, LSU Wire will be looking at each player listed on the Tigers’ roster.

Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Brian Kelly this season.

We’re coming down the home stretch of the roster, and one player we haven’t looked at yet is freshman defensive lineman [autotag]Dylan Carpenter[/autotag], a St. Amant native who was one of three defensive lineman recruits who committed to LSU as part of the 2023 recruiting class.

Dylan Carpenter’s Preseason Player Profile

LSU has a top 5 recruiting class in 2023 as November comes to a close

Here’s how the recruiting rankings look less than a month away from early signing day.

As the calendar prepares to turn to December, we’re just three weeks away from the beginning of the early signing period on Dec. 21.

With 23 commitments already, it makes sense that things have slowed down on the trail a bit for the Tigers since a busy couple of months during the summer. LSU did add two commits in November, four-star offensive tackle [autotag]DJ Chester[/autotag] and three-star edge rusher [autotag]Dylan Carpenter[/autotag].

However, the Tigers do have a few more spots available down the stretch than we initially expected as LSU lost commitments from four-star defensive linemen [autotag]Darron Reed[/autotag] — who flipped to Auburn — and [autotag]Joshua Mickens[/autotag] in the last week.

Still, LSU has one of the best classes in the country with the chance to get even better if it could land a player like five-star cornerback [autotag]Desmond Ricks[/autotag]. Here are the rankings at the end of November, per the 247Sports Composite.

Nebraska offers LSU DL commit

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have extended an offer to a LSU DL commit

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have extended an offer to 2023 three-star defensive lineman Dylan Carpenter.

“After a great talk with @BryanApplewhite I’m blessed to receive an offer to @HuskerFBNation,” Carpenter tweeted.

Carpenter committed to LSU on November 6th. He was previously committed to Louisiana. So, the Cornhuskers are attempting to flip Carpenter a second time.

247 Sports ranks Carpenter as the 44th-best edge rusher in the nation. He attends St. Amant High School in Saint Amant, LA.

Nebraska has found success on the recruiting trail in the state of Louisiana. In the 2023 class, they have landed two prospects from Louisiana: wide receiver Omarion Miller and running back Arnold Barnes III.

BREAKING: LSU flips 2023 edge rusher from Ragin’ Cajuns

Dylan Carpenter flipped his commitment from Louisiana after spending the weekend in Baton Rouge for the win over Alabama.

Even with a top-four class in 2023, coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] is not done yet.

On Sunday night, [autotag]Dylan Carpenter[/autotag] flipped his commitment from Louisiana to LSU after spending Saturday night in Baton Rouge and watching the Tigers beat Alabama in overtime.

Carpenter — a three-star prospect who is ranked as the No. 562 player in the country, per the 247Sports Composite — becomes the 25th commitment as early signing day approaches next month. He is a six-foot-four, 245-pound edge rusher from Saint Amant, Louisiana, where he plays for St. Amant High School. The Gators had a rough season this fall as they went 4-6 overall and 0-4 in district play.

Kelly has done nothing but wins this weekend as his team defeated Alabama, resulting in two commitments, and may get another shortly in [autotag]Javien Toviano[/autotag]. LSU has a chance to lock themselves into the SEC title game with a win over Arkansas this weekend and an Alabama win over Ole Miss.
