Lane Kiffin gets a big addition at LSU, looking for more

12/03/2025 07:59:59 AM

The recruiting world has been abuzz since Lane Kiffin left Ole Miss for LSU. The new Tigers’ staff has been working to fill out its class in the final days before NSD, and they landed a big addition Wednesday in four-star wide receiver Corey Barber.

Barber decommitted from Ole Miss Sunday and now reunites with Kiffin in Baton Rouge. Rivals’ Chad Simmons has the details.

The Tigers are hoping to get a pair of five-star commits signed as well, and Rivals’ Sam Spiegelman updates with the latest on that.

“The agents for 5-star DL Lamar Brown and Richard Anderson met with members of the LSU staff, including Lane Kiffin, Billy Glasscock and Blake Baker for close to four hours on Tuesday night. In the aftermath of those conversations, the arrow was tilted up for Anderson to potentially sign with LSU. A final decision will be made this morning. Brown’s representation is set to meet with LSU again on Wednesday morning. There is a very good likelihood both are signed before the end of this week.” — Spiegelman
