LSU football makes cut for elite five-star offensive linemen after official visit

LSU football target Immanuel Iheanacho listed the Tigers in his top four, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Friday.

The five-star offensive lineman is down to LSU, Oregon, Penn State, and Auburn. The Ducks remain the frontrunners, as On3’s Prediction Machine gives them an 86.1% chance of landing Iheanacho’s commitment. Steve Wiltfong logged this prediction in mid-May.

Iheanacho took his official visit to Baton Rouge on May 30, with trips to the other three schools scheduled for June. He ranks as the No. 3 prospect in the 2026 class, second at his position and first out of Maryland.

The Baltimore native would add to the SEC’s top class in the cycle as the third offensive lineman. Jalen Chapman and Brysten Martinez locked in their decisions, both Louisiana natives.

Iheanacho would be a huge get for LSU as it looks to cement the top spot across the country among 2026 recruiting class.

All four major recruiting services rank Iheanacho as the No. 2 offensive tackle in the class, behind Miami commit Jackson Cantwell.

With offensive line coach Brad Davis and tight ends coach Alex Atkins, LSU has two of the top offensive line recruiters in the country. LSU’s top linemen usually come from Louisiana, but LSU has the resources to land a national five-star.

LSU’s recruiting class ranks No. 2 in the country with USC holding the top spot.
