Just says after watching five-star EDGE leave the class, LSU added an elite pass rusher Sunday.
K.J. Green of Stone Mountain (GA) Stephenson committed to the Tigers Sunday afternoon following his official visit to Baton Rouge this weekend. Hayes Fawcett was the first to report the pledge.

Green (6’3, 210) is the No 48 player in the Rivals Industry Rankings. 247Sports ranks Green as a five-star and the No. 8 overall player in the 2027 class. He is the fifth commitment for Lane Kiffin in this cycle.
Just four days before Green’s commitment, LSU saw Jaiden Bryant flip his commitment from the Tigers to Miami. Bryant was the first commitment Kiffin landed just two days after he was hired.
