LSU Just Took a MASSIVE Piece from Ohio State! Bradford Next?!

LSU has pulled off a MAJOR recruiting win — off the field. The Tigers have hired Louisiana native Sam Petitto away from Ohio State in a stunning move that could send shockwaves through the recruiting world. Petitto, a longtime Nick Saban staffer at Alabama, has helped land stars like DeVonta Smith, Caleb Downs, and Quinshon Judkins. Now, he's back in Louisiana — and his arrival in Baton Rouge could immediately shake up LSU’s 2025 class. We break down what Petitto brings to Brian Kelly’s staff, why this is a direct blow to both Alabama and Ohio State, and how his deep ties to Louisiana recruiting could pay off big. Most notably, Petitto has a strong relationship with five-star safety and current Ohio State commit Blaine Bradford from Catholic High in Baton Rouge. Could this move set the stage for a potential flip? We also discuss how this hire fits into LSU’s broader strategy under the new revenue share model and what it says about the program’s recruiting priorities moving forward. Don’t miss this one!
