## Resource

Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers are on an absolute recruiting tear, officially landing a pair of dominant brothers from Virginia to fortify both the 2027 and 2028 classes. 5-star edge rusher Chris Whitehead committed to LSU's 2027 class, followed just hours later by his younger brother, 3-star offensive tackle Isaiah Whitehead, who became LSU's very first commit for the 2028 cycle. Along with the 2027 addition of 4-star interior offensive lineman Terrance Smith earlier in the week, Kiffin has added massive elite pieces to the future of the program.The next mega-target firmly on "flip watch" for LSU is 5-star wide receiver Easton Royal, but Lane Kiffin is fighting to flip him to LSU, not Ole Miss. Kiffin left Ole Miss to take the LSU head coaching job, and he has placed a full-court press on Royal, who is a Louisiana native from New Orleans.
