Lane Kiffin Aims to Recruit Two Four-Star Wide Receivers for LSU
Lane Kiffin, the new head coach of LSU, is making significant moves in recruiting. He aims to flip two four-star wide receivers to strengthen the Tigers’ roster.
Recruiting Overview: Kiffin’s Strategy
According to reports from On3, Kiffin is targeting Brayden Allen and Corey Barber. Both players recently decommitted from their previous schools and are now considering LSU.
Brayden Allen: A Rising Star
- Name: Brayden Allen
- School: Lafayette Christian Academy, Lafayette, Louisiana
- Previous Commitment: Oklahoma
- Current Ranking: No. 420 in the 2026 class, four-star according to 247Sports Composite
Allen decided to decommit from Oklahoma. Following this decision, several reports predicted he would choose LSU. His local ties make him a strong candidate for Kiffin’s recruiting efforts.
Corey Barber: Another Key Target
- Name: Corey Barber
- School: Clay-Chalkville High, Pinson, Alabama
- Previous Commitment: Ole Miss
- Current Ranking: No. 169 in the 2026 class, four-star according to 247Sports Composite
Barber also decommitted on Sunday. His decision was influenced by his relationship with George McDonald, a previous coach at Ole Miss who has joined Kiffin at LSU. Barber expressed interest in LSU, indicating it is now a school he must consider.
Current LSU Recruiting Class Status
LSU’s recruiting class is currently ranked No. 12 in the nation by 247Sports. The addition of Allen and Barber would enhance their class, potentially bringing the total number of wide receivers to five.
Upcoming Important Dates
The early signing period for college football is approaching, starting from December 3 to December 5. This period will be crucial for LSU as most recruits are expected to finalize their commitments.
With Kiffin’s proactive approach, LSU is poised to strengthen its recruiting class as they move closer to signing day.
