That LSU link is all that I have seen on that as well.
So a year over increase using super scores and equivalent SATs as composite score isnt exactly showing “…LSUs freshman class of 2025 set the record for most incoming students with over a 30 on the ACT” or that the 30s were true composite scores like you stated.
Anything ACT related has to factor being voluntary including having only a 47% score submission rate for the 2024 freshmen which is last year reported by LSU for that particular fact and that starting in 2023 LSU starting using Super Scores as composite scores in reporting.
Regardless of actual numbers of 30 and above the reported Scores for classes under Tate were basically manufactured with LSU even telling applicants when to submit scores for admissions and scholarships and when not to submit scores.

Brown said that the university is interested in bringing in students with a 30 or above on the ACT.
The way you do that is with scholarship money. LSU and Louisiana gives a lot (TOPS) of money to average/above average students. They don’t reward those more elite students with over 30 ACTs at a high enough amount. They will have to prioritize those students more.

So nothing about the OP really makes sense
LSU have never before had more top students based on standardized testing.
Only had to submit ACT or SAT if their GPA was below 3.5. Over 30 on the ACT isn't exactly "top student" territory either and certainly doesn't mean they have the fundamentals required for collegiate level classes. Standardized tests are little more than a brain dumping session.
