LSU and Oklahoma are locked in a fierce recruiting battle for one of the nation’s top defensive prospects, with a final decision expected as early as Thursday.

The recruit, whose identity is being closely watched by fans and analysts alike, has been a top priority for both programs throughout the summer. LSU head coach Brian Kelly and his staff have made a strong impression in recent weeks, reportedly “pushing all the right buttons” during campus visits and personal outreach. Meanwhile, Oklahoma’s staff has remained persistent, showcasing a strong defensive scheme and player development history under head coach Brent Venables.

If LSU can close the deal, it would mark a major recruiting win and further bolster their already impressive 2025 class. On the other hand, if the Sooners land the commitment, it would signal a significant defensive addition as they gear up for full SEC competition.

The final decision is expected to be announced Thursday, with both fanbases anxiously awaiting the outcome.
