Overview
- The 6-foot-5, 285-pound defensive tackle signed his letter of intent Friday, giving LSU its first No. 1 overall signee since Leonard Fournette in 2014.
- Brown postponed signing earlier in the week while seeking clarity on the futures of Frank Wilson and defensive coordinator Blake Baker, then progressed through talks Wednesday and Thursday before signing.
- A University Lab standout on LSU’s campus, Brown remained committed since July and chose the Tigers over heavy interest from Texas A&M.
- LSU also completed defensive line additions Richard Anderson, Deuce Geralds, and Trenton Henderson this week, positioning Brown alongside Anderson as a key interior pairing.
- ESPN lists LSU’s 2026 class at No. 14 after the early period, and a late push to flip No. 1 receiver Chris Henry Jr. fell short as he signed with Ohio State.
