LSU's 2027 recruiting class got a major boost over the weekend as 5-star EDGE rusher KJ Green announced his commitment to the Tigers. The pledge comes just days after LSU lost 5-star pass rusher Jaiden Bryant to Miami, giving Lane Kiffin and Sterling Lucas an immediate answer at one of the most important positions on the field.
On this episode, Matt Moscona breaks down Green's recruitment, why LSU was able to close the deal so quickly, and how Lucas' long-standing relationship with the Georgia standout helped secure the commitment. Matt also explains why LSU is prioritizing elite defensive linemen in the NIL era, how Kiffin's roster-building philosophy is shaping the Tigers' recruiting strategy, and what Green's addition means for the future of LSU's defensive front.
Plus, a look at the current state of LSU's 2027 class, the impact of Jaiden Bryant's flip to Miami, and why the Tigers may not be done adding elite pass rushers before this cycle is over.
