Coaching changes shake up signing classes.

LSU’s first decommitment since the firing of Brian Kelly came on Sunday in the form of four-star defensive end DeAnthony Lafayette. The Orlando native conformed Hayes Fawcett’s post on his X account reporting that he was opening his recruitment after committing to LSU in July.

Rivals ranks Lafayette as the No. 46 edge rusher in the class of 2026. He holds offers from Miami, Oklahoma and Florida among other schools.

The early signing period begins December 3. LSU’s 2026 class stands at 16 commitments and is ranked 11th in the country according to Rivals.
