LSU Lands MASSIVE Commit — McKinley Snubs Texas, Vols & Gators!

LSU just landed Darryus McKinley — a blue-chip defensive line prospect and the younger brother of LSU star DT Dominick McKinley — over Florida, Tennessee, and Texas. We break down what this commitment means right now and what’s next in the trenches for Brian Kelly’s Tigers. On Today’s Show Commit Reaction: Why McKinley chose LSU and what it says about the Tigers’ recruiting momentum over Florida, Tennessee & Texas. 2026 Class Impact: How this shapes the identity of LSU’s 2026 class , the ripple effects on other priority targets, and where this move could push the class ranking by cycle’s end. Future of the D-Line: How McKinley fits the scheme (power, length, versatility), how he pairs with recent HS and portal additions, and why this could reset the rotation for years. Tomorrow’s Watch List — Deuce Geralds: Can LSU close on DT Deuce Geralds tomorrow (August 2, 2025) ? We lay out the confidence meter, key decision factors (relationships, development, depth chart, NIL dynamics), and the recruiting dominoes if LSU goes 2-for-2 in the trenches this weekend. Key Takeaways McKinley gives LSU a potential cornerstone interior/edge hybrid who can impact early downs and grow into a three-down disruptor. The commitment strengthens LSU’s pitch to elite front-seven talent in the 2026 cycle and could trigger more DL/EDGE interest. A Geralds pledge on Aug. 2 would supercharge LSU’s interior depth and give the Tigers a true 1-2 foundation up front for multiple seasons.
