On Tuesday, LSU head coach Brian Kelly and running back coach Frank Wilson visited with five-star defensive lineman Dominick McKinley and his younger brother Darryus McKinley.

Dominick, a 6-5, 280-pound prospect from Lafayette, La. (Acadiana), has been committed to Texas A&M since September, giving his verbal pledge to the previous coaching staff.

During his commitment, LSU, Oklahoma, Texas, Ohio State, and Georgia were among his top schools.

Dominick is rated the No. 1 overall player from Louisiana and one of the top defensive linemen in the country. His younger brother, Darryus, is a four-star prospect in the 2026 class.

Frank is the LA recruiter and closer with CBK, no DC or DL coaches tells me changes are coming to DC and DL coaches

He will bulk up

mcspufftiger7•25 months

You never know what these young bucks will do. Not impossible with his DC at TAM leaving and Jimbo gone.

SouthernInsanity•25 months

Was this a vist for him or for his younger brother or an expected "two-for"?

The smiles look like we might have dropped the bag. I think the weak L is a product of snapping the picture too fast. Both the McKinley’s faces look like they got caught off guard.

Uh oh. Let's see if FW can do that closing magic thing again.

LSUPilot07•25 months

I would be shocked if he came to LSU. Some kids just want to go away from home and that’s fine. Glad we got the other kid though from A&M’s class.

What other kid?? I haven't been keeping up with all of this, thanks.

I havent seen one picture with a defensive coach on the recruiting trail.

Farquea1234•25 months

Please Dommick stay and help the Tigers they need an excellent inside man like you

FATBOY TIGER•25 months

Have you watched him play?

Wrong. No change of defensive leadership. No McKinley brothers. If Corey Raymond was here, McKinley brothers headed to BR. Period. They are diehard LSU. What the public and media think they know often have nothing to do with reality. Speculation make great conversations.
There is money, business, development and career involved in recruiting decisions. The 2023 defensive performance and leadership is a recruiting challenge.

I wouldn't be upset if we let that hand "L" thing go. I'm thinking some of these guys don't know how a "L" looks.

NorthstarinLA•25 months

Why is LSU tzere, based on his play this year, he will need a daily drill sargeant. The only
one who looks excited in that picture is the little brother.

I wish but I'm not feelin' a flip. Hope I'm wrong.

TheTeaux•25 months

Stockings are ADD… could rearrange them to DAD and I would recruit them!

tucoco•25 months

Time to flip him now that Jimbo is gone. He needs to stay home and wear P&G, we need him on that DLine.

It needed to be said!

Babies. These kids aren’t making decisions. Their moms are.
