ESPN writer Billy Tucker recently wrote about 51 freshmen poised to make an impact on the 2026 college football season.

In his SEC group were LSU defensive lineman Deuce Geralds and Lamar Brown.

quote:
3. Deuce Geralds, DT, LSU: Yes, LSU's defensive line is loaded. Geralds also isn't the highest-rated defensive lineman in LSU's incoming class -- that was No. 1 overall prospect Lamar Brown -- but he made a strong first impression this spring. Geralds' explosion should help make up for less-than-ideal measurables and he may be better equipped to quickly step into a rotational role this fall.

9. Lamar Brown, DT, LSU: Brown has excellent physical tools. He knows how to play with leverage and has excellent agility for a 295-pounder along the interior. Brown also responds well to coaching. Those are all good traits for someone who faces a crowded path to playing time within a talented LSU defensive line room that also includes fellow freshmen Deuce Geralds and Richard Anderson. Brown's tool set could set him apart.
