Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers continue a critical offseason in Baton Rouge with the program buckling in on the recruiting trail.

Kelly's crew reeled in the No. 1 Transfer Portal Class in America alongside a Top-10 2025 Signing Class, but the recruiting never stops for the purple and gold.

Now, all focus has turned to the 2026 Recruiting Class with the program beginning to host priority targets for unofficial visits during Spring Camp.

Over the weekend, LSU brought in a pair of prized defensive line targets with the duo dropping in for visits.

The EDGE Visitors: Spring Camp Week 1

Trenton Henderson: No. 1 Prospect in Florida [EDGE]

Pensacola Catholic (Fla.) four-star edge rusher Trenton Henderson has locked in multiple visits this offseason with a myriad of schools entering the mix in his recruitment.

Henderson, the No. 3 rated EDGE in America, has reeled in over 25 offers with LSU, Alabama, Florida and Michigan, among several others, battling it out for his services.

Now, LSU is looking to ramp up their push after Brian Kelly and the Tigers' staff flew to the Sunshine State on in January for a check-in with Henderson, he told LSU Tigers SI.

Prior to visits being locked in this month, Henderson elected to trim his list of finalists.

The 10 Finalists: LSU, USC, Michigan, Florida, Auburn, Texas, Florida State, Vanderbilt, Georgia and Alabama.

It's a star-studded list of schools with the LSU Tigers certainly having their work cut out for them when it comes to the Sunshine State stud.

Now, Henderson has locked in unofficial visits with the LSU Tigers getting on of their own. He's in Baton Rouge this weekend.

The Unofficial Visits:
- LSU Tigers: March 8-9
- Michigan Wolverines: March 17-19
- Georgia Bulldogs: March 29-30
- USC Trojans: April 11-13
- Texas Longhorns: April 25-27

LSU will remain in the ear of the coveted defensive piece who's coming off of a big-time junior campaign after logging 58 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, six pass breakups, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.

With an unofficial visit locked in, it'll now be about getting an official from the top-ranked prospect in the Sunshine State.

JaReylan McCoy: Four-Star Defensive Lineman

Tupelo (Miss.) four-star defensive lineman JaReylan McCoy has lined up multiple visits this offseason as he begins ramping up the recruitment process ahead of his senior campaign.

McCoy revealed a commitment to Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers at the Under Armour All-American Game in early January over the USC Trojans and Tennessee Volunteers.

McCoy, the No. 6 rated defensive lineman in America, joined LSU's Top-5 2026 Recruiting Class as the sixth addition after a rigorous recruiting process, but it was short-lived after backing off of his pledge one month later.

The Top-100 recruit recently wrapped up an impressive junior campaign where he received an invite to Orlando (Fla.) alongside America's elite prospects for the Under Armour All-American Game.

The prized four-star committed to Kelly and the LSU Tigers over USC, Tennessee and others where he ultimately came to a final decision while in Orlando.

Then, after being committed to LSU for roughly four weeks, McCoy elected to get back on the market after decommitting from Kelly's program.

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 has been on the radar of several program over his three seasons of prep ball after hauling in offers from Alabama, Ole Miss, USC and Oregon, among others.

Now, he's set to officially visit five different programs: LSU, Ole Miss, Auburn. Florida and Texas A&M.
