Overview

  • Four-star Deuce Geralds chose LSU over Ohio State, Michigan, Ole Miss and Oregon after official visits this spring.
  • He is ranked No. 95 overall and No. 12 among defensive linemen in the 2026 class by 247Sports and sits at No. 2 defensive tackle in ESPN’s 300.
  • A Baton Rouge native and son of former Ole Miss lineman Daverin Geralds, he cited hometown ties and a relationship with coach Kyle Williams.
  • He joins five-star DT Lamar Brown and No. 7 Richard Anderson to form a trio of ESPN top-10 tackles, a group unmatched by any program.
  • Under Brian Kelly’s defensive overhaul, LSU has climbed national recruiting rankings and aims to lock in its class in December’s early signing period.
