BREAKING: Veteran Big 10 starter Aliou Bah commits to LSU

LSU just keps rolling on Friday afternoon, this time with a commitment from one of the best interior offensive linemen in the portal with Aliou Bah, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Laane Kiffin and the Tigers were intent on rebuilding this offensive line room and now have a bonafide starter joining the roster with expectations of being a reliable presence as he heads into his redshirt senior year. At 6-foot-6, Bah is a huge addition for Eric Wolford and now the offensive line for LSU looks even more formidable.

Bah started 23 straight games on the Maryland offensive line, which tied with the longest streak on the team. He was part of a Terrapins group that allowed just seven sacks in 2025, which ranked second in the Big Ten.

Bah started his college career at Georgia before making his way to College Park in 2024, when he immediately took on a starting role with the Terps. He will have one year of eligibility remaining at LSU.

Prior to enrolling at Georgia, Bah was ranked as a four-star prospect and the No. 352 overall player in the 2022 class, according to the Rivals Industry Rating. He was the No. 23 IOL in his class and the No. 44 overall player from the state of Florida, hailing from IMG Academy.

New LSU offensive line coach Eric Wolford has added a lot of players with multiple years of eligibility, looking to restock the room with players that can develop and provide stability in the coming years, but this time, Bah brings them experience and a known commodity who will be expected to step in and start right away.
