National Analyst Reveals Stunning Prediction on Elite LSU Football Commit

Jaiden Bryant, a top-ranked edge rusher in the 2027 class, has committed to the LSU Tigers.

Published on Mar. 2, 2026

Irmo (S.C.) four-star edge rusher Jaiden Bryant revealed a commitment to Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers in January after going public with a decision at the Under Armour All-American Game. Bryant checks in as the No. 1 edge rusher in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle, and the LSU Tigers are working hard to keep his pledge as other schools look to flip his commitment.

Why it matters

Bryant's commitment is a major recruiting win for Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers as they look to build a dominant defensive line for the future. The Tigers have already landed several top defensive tackle prospects in the 2025 class, and Bryant's addition would give them a formidable front seven.

The details

The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Bryant has received offers from several top programs, including Nebraska, Georgia, Alabama, and Clemson. LSU defensive coordinator Blake Baker and defensive line coach Sterling Lucas recently visited Bryant in South Carolina, and the coaching staff has made him a priority recruit. As a sophomore in 2024, Bryant recorded 94 total tackles, 26 tackles for loss, 18.5 sacks, 7 pass breakups, and 4 forced fumbles.

  • Bryant committed to LSU in January at the Under Armour All-America game.
  • LSU coaches visited Bryant in South Carolina last month.
