LSU Football Holds In-Home Visit With Coveted Georgia Edge Rusher

Norcross (Ga.) Greater Atlanta Christian edge rusher Dre Quinn picked up several offers during his junior campaign in 2024 with the LSU Tigers remaining in contact.

Following an impressive 2024 season with his prep program, Quinn was yet to reel in an offer from Brian Kelly and Co.

But last week that changed after the LSU Tigers picked up the phone and extended a scholarship to the Peach State star.

The 6-foot-3, 220-pounder has cruised up the recruiting rankings as a Top-300 player in America with several premier schools on his offer list:

- Georgia Bulldogs
- Alabama Crimson Tide
- Florida State Seminoles
- Mississippi State Bulldogs
- Clemson Tigers
- Etc.

Quinn has the attention of the top programs in the country with the LSU Tigers being the most recent to extend a scholarship his way.

Then, shortly after receiving the offer, LSU edge rusher coach Kevin Peoples made his way to Georgia for an in-home visit with Quinn.

LSU, Mississippi State and Alabama all made sure to get face time with the rising star in the 2026 Recruiting Cycle after traveling to Georgia this week.

Now, Quinn will be looking to schedule a visit to Baton Rouge sooner rather than later. There is no date set yet, but a source familiar with his recruitment says a visit is in the works.

LSU will continue working Quinn during his recruitment process while multiple Southeastern Conference programs remain in his ear down the stretch.

The 2026 Recruiting Cycle flaunts an embarrassment of riches with the LSU Tigers making an early impact on the recruiting trail.

LSU holds a Top-5 2026 Recruiting Class and the No. 2 class in the Southeastern Conference.

Who's on board and verbally committed?

The 2026 Commitments (6):

Richard Anderson: No. 2 DL in America

Richard pledged to the Tigers in 2024 with the program continuing to keep a foot on the gas for his services. He's fresh off of a monster junior campaign at Edna Karr after leading his program to a state championship victory.

The coveted lineman earned 5A All-State honors after tallying 44 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, 18 quarterback hurries, two interceptions and a touchdown in 2024. He's the top pledge in LSU's 2026 Recruiting Class to this point.

Aiden Hall: No. 4 Safety in America

Hall committed to Kelly and Co. during his junior campaign where he joined his teammate, Richard Anderson, as LSU pledges in the 2026 class.

The coveted defensive back rounded out his junior season with 38 tackles, including 12 for loss and four sacks, plus four interceptions, 11 pass break-ups, four blocked punts and two fumble recoveries. One of the top safeties in America, LSU will be battling down the stretch for his services.

JaReylan McCoy: No. 8 Defensive Lineman in America

The Top-100 recruit just wrapped up an impressive junior campaign and is currently in Orlando (Fla.) alongside America's elite prospects for the Under Armour All-American Game. McCoy committed to Kelly and the LSU Tigers over USC and Tennessee where he ultimately came to a final decision while in Orlando.

He's a player multiple programs were turning the heat up for after logging 120 tackles, 31.5 tackles for loss and 15 sacks across three seasons of high school ball. McCoy is a man amongst boys in the trenches. A 6-foot-7, 250-pounder with significant potential, he had the attention of the LSU Tigers down the stretch of his recruitment.

Kenny Darby: 4-star Wide Receiver

Darby is fresh off of a junior campaign where he landed on the 5A All-State team after logging 100 receptions for 1,764 yards and 24 scores. One of the most prolific receivers in Louisiana, Darby is a player the program remains high on heading into his senior season.

The 6-foot, 175-pounder is a speedy, twitchy wideout that burst on the scene in 2024 with LSU extending an offer. Darby wasted no time in pledging to the program.

Jakai Anderson: 4-star Wide Receiver

Anderson is another elite-level wide receiver out of Louisiana who recently earned 4A All-State honors after an impressive junior season. He logged 57 catches for 972 yards and 14 touchdowns on the season, but a Swiss Army Knife that does it all. Anderson also rushed for 151 yards and four scores on 16 carries.

LSU could also use him as a kick returner after hauling in a combined 518 yards and seven touchdowns on kick and punt returns in 2024. Anderson is a true do-it-all player.

Jalan Chapman: 3-star Offensive Lineman

Chapman, a three-star prospect out of New Orleans (La.), pledged to the Tigers last summer over Alabama, USC, Georgia and Tennessee, among others. He currently stands at 6-foot-3, 270 pounds following his junior year for New Orleans (La.) Warren Easton High after gaining national attention following his sophomore campaign in 2023.
