A look at how the LSU football program fared on the first day of the early signing period.

How many players did LSU sign?

Eleven, with at least a handful expected to follow suit. LSU had 15 recruits committed to its 2026 class when it hired coach Lane Kiffin . Since then, three left the group and four joined, giving the Tigers 16 verbal pledges ahead of the start of the early signing period. LSU is still waiting for five of those players to sign — and three of those five are top-100 recruits, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
