LSU Lands Top Recruits Egboh and Lemon, Bolstering 2031 Class

In a seismic shift on the recruiting landscape, LSU has secured commitments from the top two high school players in the country, Hakeem Egboh and Denario Lemon. This powerhouse duo elevates LSU's 2031 recruiting class to a formidable lineup, now boasting four 5-star talents and earning the Tigers a #2 national ranking.

Egboh, hailing from Sarasota, FL, is a dynamic linebacker known for his exceptional field vision and leadership as a signal caller. Standing at 6'3" and weighing 221 lbs, he's a versatile threat on the field. Meanwhile, Lemon, a standout safety from Allen High School in Dallas, TX, brings his 6'1", 206-lb frame and unparalleled coverage skills to Baton Rouge.

These latest additions join previously committed 5-star recruits Abdul Coutee and Franklin Carden. Coutee, a speed rusher from Fairmont, NC, ranks 4th nationally and is revered for his explosive ability off the edge. Carden, a pure power defensive tackle from Buford, GA, is ranked 13th nationally, anchoring the line with his 6'1", 288-lb presence.

5-Star LSU Commit Abdul Coutee

LSU head coach Justin Wright, speaking with his signature Southern charm, expressed his excitement about the incoming class. "Man, we fixin' to bring a whole new level of swag to Death Valley," Wright said. "These young cats got that fire, ya feel me? They gon' make some noise and keep our defense real tight."

LSU's recruiting prowess under Coach Wright has turned heads across the country, as the Tigers continue to build a program set on national dominance. With Egboh, Lemon, Coutee, and Carden on board, LSU fans have every reason to be optimistic about the future of their defense.
