LSU football picked up a verbal commitment from a three-star Texas running back on Sunday.
Brennen Lacey, a 5-foot-11, 190-pound tailback, is now one of six players committed to the Tigers’ 2027 freshman class. According to 247Sports composite rankings, the rising senior is one of the nation’s top 650 prospects and one of the top 100 players in Texas.
Lacey now joins an LSU recruiting class that so far features three top-100 players: five-star tight end Ahmad Hudson (Ruston), four-star edge rusher KJ Green and four-star quarterback Peyton Houston (Shreveport).
Green also announced his intentions to sign with the Tigers on Sunday — three days after coach Lane Kiffin and his staff lost a pledge from defensive end Jaiden Bryant, a five-star recruit who’s now committed to Miami.
LSU has six more months to fill out the rest of its 2027 signing class. One of Kiffin’s top priorities is a push he and his staff are making to flip Brother Martin wide receiver Easton Royal, a top-10 national prospect who’s currently committed to Texas.
In May, Kiffin hired former LSU head coach Ed Orgeron as a special assistant to recruiting and defense.
