After starting a rise on social media among Texas A&M football fans, a highly coveted five-star defensive tackle swerved away from the Aggies in his final decision. Head coach Mike Elko's impressive defensive recruitment didn't hold up against an SEC foe that offered one thing College Station couldn't: being at home.

LSU football picked up a big win on the recruiting trail this week with five-star Lamar Brown joining the Tigers' 2026 class.

Brown has impressed throughout his high school career in Lousiana as a two-way star playing on both the offensive and defensive lines at University Lab. However, it appears LSU wants to utilize his pass rushing abilities at the collegiate level as the Tigers look to stop the best offenses in the SEC.
