Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports
LSU coach Brian Kelly landed his second commitment of the day when Florida edge rusher DeAnthony Lafayette announced his verbal pledge to the Tigers on Thursday afternoon.

Lafayette joins five-star athlete Lamar Brown, who committed to LSU earlier in the day.

Lafayette, a 6-1, 230-pound rusher from Orlando, Fla., is rated the No. 5 edge rusher in the state of Florida.

He picked the Tigers over Oklahoma, Miami, and other offers.

Lafayette is LSU's 16th commitment for the 2026 class.

Big time sleeper! The definition of a football player. What he does not have in size he has in heart and speed. 22 Jacob Hester attitudes will make you a perennial powerhouse!

I think this dude might be the sleeper. That one that slips through the ratings. His highlights show a flat out player in the top class in FL.

Lol, I'll take this guy who had 17.5 sacks in 7A Florida Football who runs track and has a long wingspan over Bama's 5 stars. People seem to forget guys like Patrick Queen when they speak that nonsense.

Deanthony is like the nerdy fat guy that finally gets a chance with the hot girl after bypassing 5s who would give him a chance. LSU is the hot girl here. Basically 700th ranked recruit getting an offer from LSU is like the movie Knocked Up. Seth Rogan got 1 chance at girl way out his league and capitalized. Deanthony is Seth, LSU is hot girl.

Let's just hope that Seth Rogan's dating market value rises. He works out, gets fit, gets a 6 figure job, buys a house, etc. In recruiting words, let's hope he becomes a 4 star on new rankings. Then both new Seth and new DeAnthony rankings would be deserving of Katherine Heighly aka LSU.

What does commitment really mean in this NIL world of CFB? Hope it's solid and makes it to the LSU campus.
