LSU flips 2025 LB Jaiden Braker from South Carolina
Snellville (Ga.) South Gwinnett three-star linebacker Jaiden Braker has flipped his commitment from South Carolina to LSU.
Pledged to the Gamecocks since July 6, the Peach State product now joins one of the top recruiting classes in the nation down in Baton Rouge. It was a visit to LSU at the end of July for the Bayou Splash that made a big impact on Braker’s decision, as he picked up an offer from the Tigers.
“This was my first visit to LSU and this offer means a lot to me,” Braker told On3. “The visit was more than I expected it to be. I saw the campus, how they run things and I got the offer at the Bayou Bash.”
“I feel good about LSU,” he added. “The best parts of the visit were seeing the campus, seeing the tiger cage, and talking and bonding with the staff.”
