LSU football is projected to miss on a top tight end recruiting target, according to Rivals’ Chad Simmons. In a prediction dropped earlier this week, Simmins has four-star tight end Brayden Fogle committing to Georgia over LSU and Penn State.
According to the On3 Industry Rankings, Fogle is the No. 10-ranked tight end in the 2026 recruiting class. 247Sports is the highest on Fogle, slotting the Ohio prospect as the No. 132-ranked recruit in the country.

Fogle is one of the top tight ends left on the board, and if Georgia continues to trend as the favorite, it leaves LSU with recruiting questions at the tight end position. LSU only signed one player at the position last year and would likely need to turn its attention towards flip candidates.
Fogle is slated to announce his commitment on July 4.
Ahead of Fogle’s announcement, LSU’s 2026 class ranks No. 5 nationally, per Rivals.
Even if LSU misses on Fogle, the Tigers are sitting pretty in the pass-catching department. LSU’s 2026 wide receiver crop is the best in the country, headlined by five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys.
