Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff have been scorching hot on the recruiting trail over the last few weeks with the program navigating the NCAA Transfer Portal, player retention and the 2025 Signing Class.
Now, with the hectic recruiting stretch in the rearview mirror, Kelly and Co. have begun finalizing the roster for next season.
LSU has reeled in 14 newcomers via the Transfer Portal along with a Top-10 2025 Recruiting Class.
For the 2025 cycle, all members of the class put pen to paper on National Signing Day on Dec. 4 with the commitments making it official.
LSU will return from winter break next Monday with double-digit signees set to make their way to Baton Rouge as early-enrollees with a key position group getting all the pledges to campus.
Offensive line coach Brad Davis signed four players in the 2025 class with immediate impact potential.
Now, all four will be heading to campus in the coming days as early-enrollees, sources tell LSU Tigers On SI.
