The NCAA originally lowered it to 28 a few years ago, but the new rule is 25 as of this year.
I'm pretty sure this is incorrect and it is still 28 (actually I'm pretty sure the 28 rule only went into effect for the 2013 class***).

NCAA Bylaw 15.5.6.1 limits FBS football programs to a total number of scholarships to 85 "counters" annually including 25 scholarships for "initial counters." Counters (NCAA Bylaw 15.02.3) are individuals who are receiving institutional financial aid that is countable against the aid limitations in a sport, initial counters (NCAA Bylaw 15.02.3.1) are individuals who are receiving countable financial aid in a sport for the first time. Bylaw 13.9.2.3 limits schools to signing 28 NLI from initial signing day through May 31.[1]
***Nope I'm wrong. As of the NCAA rulebook, the rule went into effect on 8/1/10 meaning it would have began effective the 2011 football signings.

Ok, after looking at wiki, i realized that's the 2011-2012 handbook they are linking and with a bit of searching, was able to pull up the new one (unfortunately I can't copy it easily bc it's a pdf). It appears you are correct on the 25 signees. It also added another addendum about EEs (which is the primary way around the rule for non-SEC schools as EEs don't count at all towards the 25).
However it doesn't change the basic premise which is true that the SEC rule does not allow you to get that spot back for non-qualifiers and you do in other conferences. There is no harm in TCU signing him and no damage done if he doesn't qualify because they can then use that spot for an EE next January. LSU could not.
