LSU Tigers Close Transfer Window with Star Addition, Gear Up for Postseason and Key Recruiting Battles
It was another action-packed week for the LSU Tigers, with major developments on the football field, the softball diamond, and the recruiting trail. From snagging a top-tier transfer to positioning themselves for postseason success, LSU continues building momentum across the board.
LSU Lands Star Safety A.J. Haulcy in Major Portal Win On Sunday night, LSU Football landed a game-changer in the secondary, securing a commitment from former Houston standout A.J. Haulcy. Despite a strong push from Miami, which gave him a red carpet treatment during his visit, the Tigers sealed the deal once they got him on campus.
Haulcy, a proven playmaker, fills a critical gap in LSU’s defense and immediately elevates the unit’s potential. His arrival could mark a return to the elite defensive standard fans have long expected in Baton Rouge.
LSU Softball Eyes Top NCAA Seed as SEC Tournament Kicks Off With the regular season in the books, LSU Softball turns its attention to the SEC Tournament, which begins Tuesday. The Tigers earned a first-round bye and will make their tournament debut Wednesday morning against Mississippi State.
Though seeded 9th in the SEC, LSU currently ranks 4th in RPI, putting them squarely in the conversation to host a Top-8 Super Regional. A strong showing in the tournament could solidify their place among the nation’s elite.
LSU Closes in on 4-Star QB Bowe Bentley On the recruiting front, all eyes are on Bowe Bentley, a coveted 4-star quarterback who recently named LSU, Oklahoma, and Georgia as his final three. But with 5-star Jared Curtis committing to Georgia, the Bulldogs may now be out of the race.
That sets up a head-to-head battle between the Tigers and Sooners. According to @SWiltfong_, “They’ve been closing fast on Oklahoma,” as LSU surges to make Bentley a priority.
Top In-State DL Lamar Brown Delays Commitment Date In another major recruiting storyline, Lamar Brown, one of LSU’s top in-state targets, pushed his commitment date from July 4 to July 10. The elite 2026 defensive lineman is at the center of a tight recruiting battle between LSU and Texas A&M.
With Brown regarded as a cornerstone talent, the Tigers are under pressure to keep him home rather than facing him in SEC play. According to @Rivals, “LSU and Texas A&M are leading the charge for the touted blue-chipper at the tail end of the spring.”
Here’s a rewritten and paraphrased version of the article, with key names and quotes bolded for emphasis:
Boobie Feaster Names LSU in Final Four, Sets July 4 Commitment Date
Boobie Feaster, one of the top wide receiver prospects in the 2026 class, is inching closer to a college decision — and LSU is still firmly in the hunt.
Before the Tigers went on a hot streak in recruiting, Feaster appeared to be the next big name likely to join the fold. And while LSU has since secured commitments from Tristen Keys and Jabari Mack, they haven’t fallen out of the race for the standout pass-catcher from DeSoto, Texas.
Over the weekend, Feaster officially trimmed down his list of offers to a final four, with LSU earning a spot among the finalists as he prepares for a round of official visits.
“BREAKING: Elite 2026 WR Boobie Feaster is down to 4 Schools,” reported Hayes Fawcett via On3.
“The 6’2”, 180-pound WR from DeSoto, TX will announce his College Decision on July 4th.”
With On3 projecting the Tigers as the likely destination, LSU fans will be keeping a close eye on Feaster’s upcoming decision. His commitment would be a major boost to an already stacked future receiving corps.
