Five-star recruit Lamar Brown rescinds commitment to Brian Kelly and LSU, preparing for significant career revelation
Title: Lamar Brown Ditches LSU Visit, Boosts Texas A&M's Recruitment Chances
Say goodbye to that LSU visit, folks! Five-star prospect Lamar Brown has called off his scheduled trip to the Tigers' lair this weekend, leaving Brian Kelly's program in a bit of a pickle. LSU had been leading the pack for the versatile lineman with an 86.5% chance of winning him over, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.
But alas, Brown's commitment announcement is set for July 10, and he's been impressing Texas A&M lately. After a visit to College Station, Brown put a wrench in LSU's plans and withdrew from his trip to Baton Rouge. County Kiddos, Texas A&M seems to be milking this golden opportunity!
Lamar Brown, standout at University Lab, and the No. 1 athlete in the 2026 class, is also the No. 7 recruit in the nation and the top recruit in Louisiana. LSU had taken a keen interest in Brown, offering him a scholarship before he even hit high school. It all started at a camp where he caught the eye of former Tigers defensive line coach Jamar Cain.
Brown and LSU had been tight knit, with the prospect idolizing former defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy. But this cancellation has left a bitter taste, especially since Brown had been frequenting campus since the 7th grade.
A two-way dynamo, Brown shone in the 2024 season, giving up no pressures or sacks in over 120 offensive snaps. He also racked up 44 tackles, including two sacks and five tackles for loss on defense. With numbers like these, it's no surprise that he's high on both LSU's and Texas A&M's wish lists.
It's a toss-up between LSU, Texas A&M, Miami, and Texas, with Brown expected to make his college decision on July 10. After his visit to Texas A&M, analysts are betting on the Aggies.
Texas A&M Steals the Lead from LSU
With Brown's visit to College Station and his subsequent cancellation of the LSU trip, the Aggies are sitting pretty. Even before Brown's visit, Texas A&M was considered a strong contender, and LSU's recent stumble might just tip the balance in favor of the Aggies.
So, LSU fans, it's time to brace yourselves. If Brown chooses Texas A&M, it could be a major blow to Kelly's program. But hey, football season is just around the corner, and who knows what twists and turns await us!
