According to 247spots, McKinley is the 33rd ranked player in Louisiana for 2026 and No. 108 defensive lineman in the class.
Dominick was a five-star prospect when he signed with LSU after being committed to Texas A&M. He’s played in 21 games and made 16 tackles with four sacks, one as a sophomore.
Darryus is the second decommitment from LSU since Brian Kelly’s firing. The Tigers now have 15 commitments and a class ranked 12th by 247sports.
