Lane Kiffin Makes Recruiting Trip to Acadiana

Lane Kiffin and LSU staff visited multiple Acadiana high schools and Mobile prospect Carter Davis, offering the Top-100 wide receiver within 24 hours to boost recruiting efforts.

  • On Thursday, Lane Kiffin toured Acadiana high schools visiting Cecilia, Scott and New Iberia, beginning in Cecilia about 45 miles from Baton Rouge where he met four-star junior Braylon Calais.
  • Kiffin's tour is part of LSU's broader push to build staff and roster, adding 42 players by the portal close and hiring Cason Bicknell and Joe Houston to reinforce the staff.
  • Local reactions ranged from excitement to pride across Acadiana communities as Kiffin's stop at Billy's Boudin in Scott generated social-media buzz, and Cecilia head coach Cody Champagne said the visit boosted community pride beyond one recruit.
  • LSU offered Carter Davis after the Mobile meeting; the Top-100 prospect drew offers from Ole Miss Rebels, Florida Gators, Texas Longhorns, Michigan Wolverines, Oregon Ducks, Florida State Seminoles, and Tennessee Volunteers.
  • Kiffin says LSU is built for championships, and with portal additions like Sam Leavitt and Jordan Seaton, LSU's program positioning aims to reshape recruiting momentum.
