On Christmas night, 2026 offensive tackle Lamar Brown released his top schools list. One of the schools that made the cut was the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Brown landed an offer from the Alabama coaching staff merely days prior to the start of the 2023-2024 season. Since then, he has remained in contact with the Crimson Tide. Brown even took an unofficial visit to Alabama for the Tennessee game.

The Louisiana native is regarded as one of the more premier prospects in the 2026 recruiting class up to this point. At 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, Brown can play multiple positions along the offensive line.

His recruitment will be one to monitor over the next two years. Alabama figures to be a contender until the end for Brown.

LSU makes top six for five-star offensive lineman

LSU made the cut for a Baton Rouge native and one of the top players in the 2026 class.

The 2024 recruiting cycle isn’t entirely done, but work is already well under way on future cycles.

[autotag]Lamar Brown[/autotag], a Baton Rouge native, released his top six schools and LSU was lucky enough to make the cut.

Brown plays high school football in LSU’s backyard at University Lab, a place that’s given plenty of talent to LSU in the past.

According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Brown is a five-star and the fifth-best overall player in the 2026 class. 247Sports’ own rankings rate Brown as the best offensive tackle in his class.

It’s not exactly clear what position Brown will play at the college level yet, with On3 listing the prospect as an interior offensive lineman.

LSU will have some tough competition for this one as Brown’s recruitment heats up over the next couple of years. But LSU offensive line coach Brad Davis has proven to be an ace recruiter thus far, especially when it comes to linemen in the state of Louisiana.
