LSU football, despite making a change at head coach, maintained its highest-rated prospects in the 2026 class. One of those commits is defensive lineman Lamar Brown, who possesses a skill set that is “very rare to find,” according to head coach Lane Kiffin.
“Lamar is a great height, weight, speed combination, Kiffin said. “He’s an awesome kid, really intelligent, really well-spoken, really has really good thoughts when you meet with him about being great and what it takes.”

Rivals’ Industry Rankings slotted Brown at No. 4 overall in the 2026 recruiting class. He ranked as the top player at his position and the best player coming out of Louisiana in the cycle. Keeping him at home was a priority for Kiffin and staff upon their arrival. Brown not only stayed true to his pledge but made mark on Kiffin personally, who said Brown was the first player he met after taking the LSU job.
“He was on my couch, basically, in the office the first night, so that’s kind of a cool story for it to happen to be such a great kid and recruit potential players. We’re really excited about him and his ability to do multiple things.”
