All three of the major recruiting services have finalized the player rankings for the 2026 recruiting class, and LSU pulled off something impressive.

While a handful of EDGE rushers finished among the 32 5-star prospects this past recruiting cycle, only two defensive linemen were 5-stars in the final On3 Industry Rankings.

Brown remains ranked as the No. 1 athlete on the Rivals rankings, while Anderson checks in as a Top 20 overall prospect and Top 3 defensive lineman in the country.

With ESPN and 247 both updating the final rankings as well, Brown finished his time at University High as a Top 5 overall prospect, regardless of position, and the No. 1 defensive line recruit in the class.

Anderson, who won multiple state titles at Edna Karr as a dominant defensive tackle, landed inside the Top 20 on Rivals, but finished at No. 32 overall on the Rivals Industry Rankings.

With 32 total 5-stars handed out, both Brown and Anderson will forever carry the 5-star label while also staking claim to finishing as the No. 1 and No. 2 defensive linemen in the entire 2026 class.
