LSU offers 2026 five-star defensive lineman from Rabun Gap, Georgia

Brian Kelly is going after one of the top prospects in the 2026 class.

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] is hard at work on the 2026 recruiting class. He recently offered one of the best players in the country, a five-star defensive lineman who transferred from Maryland to Georgia this year.

[autotag]James Carrington[/autotag] is a 6-foot-2, 270-pound, five-star defensive lineman from Rabun Gap, Georgia, where he plays for Rabun Gap-Nacoochee High School. The Rabun Gap-Nacoochee Eagles are off to a hot start in 2023. They are 5-0 and they have a big game coming up against undefeated Robbinsville.

There are currently no Crystal Ball projections at this time for Carrington but Georgia is a 41% favorite to land him per On3.

Film Analysis: Carrington has unreal quickness for a guy who is 270 pounds. Good luck trying to block this guy if you are a guard.
