“For the next three or four years, I will be committing to Louisiana State University.” Brown said as he put on the LSU cap on Thursday. “Go Tigers.”
LSU beat out its SEC rivals, Texas and Texas A&M, for the 6-foot-4, 285-pound defensive tackle. Sources told ESPN that Brown was still between LSU and Texas A&M as late as Wednesday night.
Brown is from Baton Rouge, where the LSU campus is located. He’s now entering his senior season of football at University Lab High School.
Brown is also a multi-sport athlete competing in both discus and shot put events in track and field.
In his primary sport, football, Brown has played on both sides of the ball. This spring, though, he has focused most of his attention on defense.
In his three seasons at the varsity level, Brown recorded 91 tackles and eight sacks.
“I get to play Saturday nights at Death Valley, that’s all,” Brown said when asked about what he’s excited for at LSU. “I’m going to win the National Championship.
Brown is not the only five-star recruit committed to LSU. Tristen Keys and Trenton Henderson also headline Brian Kelly’s 2026 recruiting class.
The recruiting class is ranked seventh in the nation.
Even before Brown steps on campus, LSU is primed and ready to make a deep run in the 2025 season, as they are bringing in a top transfer class heading into next season.
