Top five prospects that could flip to Lane Kiffin’s LSU
#1, Brayden Allen, WR
Brayden Allen might be one of the first in-state to commit to LSU under Lane Kiffin. The wide receiver decommitted from Oklahoma on Sunday, coinciding with the day Kiffin announced his move to Baton Rouge.
With the Lafayette Christian Academy (Louisiana) star reopening his recruitment process, the indication suggests he will be committing to the Tigers. Allen is ranked as the No. 14 talent from the state of Louisiana in the Class of 2026.
#2, Corey Barber, WR
Corey Barber is one of the players whom Lane Kiffin secured their commitment for the class of 2026 at Ole Miss. However, after the coach left Oxford on Sunday, the wide receiver announced his decommitment.
With wide receiver George McDonald, who recruited Barber, following Kiffin to Baton Rouge, the expectation is that the four-star prospect follows them. He’s reportedly built a strong relationship with Kiffin’s staff over the months.
#3, JC Anderson, TE
Lane Kiffin landed the commitment of JC Anderson at Ole Miss in July. Then, he became the first tight end to commit to the Rebels’ recruiting class. However, he might take a step back in his decision.
According to On3’s recruiting experts, Greg Smith, Anderson is one of Ole Miss’ commits expected to follow Kiffin to LSU following his exit. It is reported that the coach has reached out to the player, and a flip is the likely outcome.
#4, Kevin Ford Jr, Edge
Kevin Ford Jr. committed to Florida during the tenure of Billy Napier. While he has maintained his pledge since Napier was fired by the Gators, the rumors continue to predict a flip to another school.
LSU has reportedly had a renewed interest in the edge rusher in the last couple of weeks. Without a doubt, the arrival of Kiffin could increase the chances, especially if he retains some defensive staff in Baton Rouge.
#5, Bralan Wommack, S
Bralan Wommack is currently committed to Auburn, but there’s uncertainty around that following the firing of Hugh Freeze. The three-dimensional safety is predicted to give his pledge to another school.
LSU has been one of the schools monitoring Wommack’s situation in the last couple of weeks. The arrival of Lane Kiffin in Baton Rouge could immediately give them an edge in the race to secure the player, who is a top-50 prospect in the class of 2026.
