LSU Just Got Its THIRD 5⭐️ — Lane Kiffin Did in Months What Took 6 Years at Ole Miss

LSU’s recruiting momentum keeps snowballing.

LSU wide receiver signee Corey Barber has been upgraded to a five-star prospect by Rivals, giving Lane Kiffin three five-star signees before ever coaching a game at LSU. That’s a stark contrast to Kiffin’s six seasons at Ole Miss, where he signed just one five-star recruit—and it helps explain why the move to Baton Rouge made sense.

We’re joined by Shea Dixon of On3 to break down Barber’s rise, what the final Rivals 2026 rankings reveal about LSU’s class, and how the Tigers are separating themselves nationally on the recruiting trail.

Plus, LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier speaks from the Senior Bowl, finally addressing the injury that derailed his 2025 season and how he’s preparing for the next phase of his career.
