With signing day approaching, LSU’s recruiting team, led by Brian Kelly, is fighting to retain their top prospects. The 2025 class has been strong, ranked No. 3 nationally by On3, and headlined by five-star QB Bryce Underwood. However, LSU faces a new challenge as tight end Mike Tyler, a three-star recruit from South Carolina, could be swayed by the Gamecocks’ persistent efforts.
Tyler initially committed to LSU in August, turning down South Carolina’s offer, but recent signs suggest South Carolina is gaining ground. He attended South Carolina’s recent victory over Texas A&M, adding to speculation. While LSU has excelled in recruiting tight ends under Kelly and still holds a solid roster, Tyler’s potential departure is one to monitor. The Tigers also face late interest from Underwood’s home-state school, making it a tense period for LSU’s recruiting team.
