The 6-foot, 160 pound receiver from New Orleans (La.) McDonough 35 is ranked No. 273 nationally in the On3 Composite. He is the 45th best wide receiver and the tenth best player in Louisiana for 2026.
Despite Anderson’s defection, LSU still has three receivers committed for 2026, including the No. 1 receiver in the country Tristen Keys.
The flip leaves LSU with nine commitments and drops the Tigers behind Southern Cal for the second-best class in the country. USC currently has 26 commitments.
