Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers gets one step closer to pulling 4-star Texas standout away from an elite group of suitors
The LSU Tigers are fresh off of having four offensive linemen selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, including All-American left tackle Will Campbell inside the top ten to the New England Patriots.

The LSU Tigers are fresh off of having four offensive linemen selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, including All-American left tackle Will Campbell inside the top ten to the New England Patriots. Being strong up front has been a priority under head coach Brian Kelly, which makes sense considering his previous position with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. That ideology doesn’t look to be changing anytime soon.
In the 2026 recruiting class, Coach Kelly and his Tigers staff are pursuing several talented offensive linemen. That includes Flower Mound (Texas) High School offensive tackle Drew Evers. LSU was named as one of the six finalists for Evers over the weekend, joined by Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Penn State, and SMU.
The 6-3.5, 285-pound standout is considered a near consensus four-star player by all of the major recruiting platforms. The 247Sports Composite ranking currently has Evers pegged as the No. 208 overall player, No. 13 interior offensive linemen, and No. 27 player in the state of Texas for the 2026 recruiting class. 247Sports is the lowest in Evers, pegging him as a three-star player and the No. 27 interior offensive linemen nationally.
While the rankings are a little bit all over the place, the offers for Evers are extremely strong. Outside of his finalists, Evers has put together a very impressive offer list. Some of the top programs who have offered him include Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Michigan, Oregon, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Missouri, Florida State, UNC, Utah, Wisconsin, Colorado, Arkansas, Kansas State, Louisville, Pittsburgh, TCU, Texas Tech, UCF, Georgia Tech, Baylor, Cal, Arizona, Stanford, Purdue, and Northwestern among others.
At under 6-4, Evers is a bit of an odd body type to play offensive tackle. Some people see him as an interior player, while others think his 81-inch wingspan will allow him to remain on the outside. Regardless, he’s a very talented offensive lineman with some outstanding upside on the next level. LSU will continue to battle amongst an elite group of suitors for his services.

The LSU Tigers defense has unfortunately been a hot button topic for multiple years now. Head coach Brian Kelly and defensive coordinator Blake Baker couldn't ever get their unit to figure out how to stop mobile quarterbacks last year.
