Breaking: LSU secures South Carolina EDGE Jaylen Brown

LSU has added a commitment from Jaylen Brown, a defensive end who played at Missouri then South Carolina and now comes down south to play for the Tigers, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

The Madison, Alabama native is a 6-fot-6 and 265 pound EDGE who sat out the 2025 season after a right knee injury during spring camp. He had surgery in April. He was initially recruited to Missouri in 2024 where he spent the year playing in five games, preserving the redshirt.

LSU has now three defensive line commits this class, with Clemson’s Stephiylan Green and Auburn’s Malik Blocton in for 2026 already. Brown was coached and built a relationship with former South Carolina defensive ends coach Sterling Lucas who is now at LSU. The room is now in a great place as these three transfers pair with a talented group of freshmen coming in to build the depth and top-end talent necessary to win at the highest level.
