Lane Kiffin LSU recruiting tracker: Who are the biggest 2026 prospects going to Baton Rouge? image

December is quite the busy time for college football recruiting, thanks to the early signing period that runs from Dec. 3-5. Some of the top recruiting prospects from around the nation choose to sign with their respective schools months before February's National Signing Day. 

Just days after Lane Kiffin accepted the head coach position at LSU, he will now be tasked with signing his first recruiting class for the Tigers. While most of the commitments in LSU's 2026 class came under former Tigers head coach Brian Kelly, Kiffin was able to sign some new players as well. 

AllSportsPeople is tracking the latest updates on LSU's 2026 recruiting class, including a look at which prospects have signed.

4-star WR Corey Barber flips from Ole Miss to LSU

3-star CB Dezyrian Ellis signs with LSU

Ellis' signing with the Tigers was expected, as he had been committed to LSU since June 2025. 

Ellis is listed by 247Sports as an athlete, but it appears as though LSU is recruiting him primarily as a safety.

Where does LSU's 2026 recruiting class rank?

LSU's 2026 class currently ranks 12th overall in the country, and is sixth inside the SEC. As Kiffin gets more settled into his new digs, expect the Tigers to climb up both of those rankings. 

The Tigers have inked top-10 recruiting classes in five out of their last six classes, dating back to 2020. This could turn out to be Kiffin's highest-rated class he's ever signed as a head coach.
