Ed Orgeron Lands 2 Five-Star LSU Visits in Under 2 Weeks

6 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 30
  • Less than two weeks after joining Lane Kiffin's LSU staff, Ed Orgeron helped bring in official visits from two five-star 2027 recruits — defensive tackle Jalen Brewster and wide receiver Easton Royal.
  • Brewster, the nation's No. 1 recruit, is currently committed to Texas Tech, but the report says LSU has quickly moved from outsider to a leading contender after Orgeron got the Tigers in the door.
  • Royal is committed to Texas and is considered a more realistic flip candidate because he is from nearby New Orleans, with LSU already viewed as his most likely alternative.
  • LSU currently has 5 commits, all blue-chip prospects, including 2 five-stars; adding Brewster and Royal would give Kiffin's first class a strong shot at finishing in the national top five.
As LSU's spending reshapes recruiting, what does loyalty mean for today's five-star high school athletes?
Can Orgeron's old-school recruiting charm thrive in Lane Kiffin's modern, NIL-driven system?
