The LSU Tigers have just made history, landing the No. 1 overall recruit of all time, Dylan Purter. The five-star cornerback from Tuskegee, Alabama, has officially committed to LSU, delivering head coach Brian Kelly and his staff one of the most monumental signings in college football history.
Purter, standing at 6’0″, 175 pounds, is widely regarded as a generational talent, redefining the cornerback position with his elite athleticism, lockdown coverage, and playmaking ability. Ranked as the highest-rated recruit in modern recruiting history, he was pursued by top programs like Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State but ultimately chose to wear the purple and gold.
“I wanted to be part of something special, and LSU is building a dynasty,” Purter said. “Geaux Tigers!”
LSU’s 2026 recruiting class was already the No. 1-ranked class in the nation, according to On3, featuring elite talents such as five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys, four-star defensive lineman Richard Anderson, and four-star safety Aiden Hall. With Purter’s commitment, the Tigers now boast one of the most dominant and historic recruiting classes ever assembled.
This commitment solidifies LSU as a perennial national championship contender, setting the stage for a new era of dominance in Death Valley. With Purter anchoring the defense, the Tigers are primed for future success at the highest level.
Stay tuned for more updates as LSU continues to build its legacy.
