LSU targets make notable moves in initial 2026 On300
LSU football recruiting targets have landed in the initial 2026 On300, which was released by the On3Sports rankings team on Monday.
In the On3 2026 Watch List in August, Louisiana prospects included defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart, offensive lineman Lamar Brown, safety Blaine Bradford, safety Aiden Hall and defensive lineman Richard Anderson all made the cut. That list just had ratings, not rankings.
When it came to the 2026 On300, the list expanded and rankings were assigned along with ratings.
Stewart is No. 1 overall, Brown at No. 4, Bradford at No. 10, Hall at No. 85 and Anderson at No. 120.
The highest-ranked “newcomer” to the 2026 list is Gonzalez (La.) East Ascension offensive tackle Brysten Martinez, who slides in as the No. 17 overall prospect and the No. 4 overall offensive tackle in the nation.
Destrehan (La.) wide receiver Jabari Mack is the No. 40 overall prospect in the country and No. 6 wide receiver in the nation.
