Louisiana's best safety is committed to Ohio State. Can LSU football pull off the flip?

Never say never!

One of LSU football's top 2026 targets was listed as a player with flip potential by Rivals' Chad Simmons on Wednesday.

Safety Blaine Bradford committed to Ohio State in March, and despite his pledge seeming firm until this point, LSU isn't out of the race for the elite defensive back.

It was a hit when Bradford committed to Ohio State earlier this year, but LSU can never be counted out with Louisiana prospects. Until Bradford puts pen to paper with the Buckeyes, he can still be swayed.

A native of Baton Rouge, Bradford plays high school football at Catholic. Rivals' Industry Rankings are the highest on Bradford, slotting him at No. 2 out of Louisiana, No. 5 among safeties, and No. 47 overall.

Earlier in July, LSU hired Ohio State recruiting staffer Sam Petitto to a similar role. Petitto has deep ties to Louisiana and was instrumental in the Buckeyes' gaining Bradford's commitment. With Pettito now at LSU, there's growing optimism that LSU can make Bradford's recruitment interesting.

It wouldn't be a surprise to see Bradford turn up at LSU for a visit this fall. Several members of LSU's 2026 recruiting class are making their best pitch to the talented defensive back.

Should move to linebacker. Had more personal fouls than big plays.

Comments like this have always been uncouth but I'd say even more in this era. You never know when a kid may come back into good graces. All it takes is $, Tim Walton getting another job or home calling. Did Dom McKinleys recruitment teach us nothing?

I think this is a Grant Delpit and Jacoby Stevens situation where Stevens was the higher rated recruit but Delpit showed he was the better player. I also think that both players will be good just like both Stevens and Delpit were good.

That is good to see, but how can he have a scholarship for the 2025-26 academic year?

I can’t imagine he is going to reclassify and enroll anywhere in the next two weeks.

Is this a typo in the letter that was sent to him when it should have said 2026-27?
