Brian Kelly's LSU lands commitment from 4-star safety Aiden Hall to the class of 2026

Four-star safety Aiden Hall has committed to LSU's 2026 recruiting class. He announced the decision on Saturday afternoon, choosing the Tigers over USC, Alabama, Texas, Oregon, Georgia and Florida State, among others.

LSU extended an offer to Hall in the spring of 2023. The recruitment process took a decisive turn when he visited the Tigers' Friday Night Lights Camp. During his visit, the prospect made the decision to shut down his recruitment and pledge his commitment to Brian Kelly's program.

Hall had previously visited LSU in March, where he was impressed with defensive line coaches Corey Raymond and Jack White.

“That I’m the No. 1 safety on their board,” Hall said ( via On3). “That felt good to hear. I talk to coach Raymond and coach Jack. I like them and their approach to the game of football. I can picture them coaching me. They’re going to coach you hard and make sure you’re doing the right thing.”

Aiden Hall’s commitment is a big milestone for LSU’s 2026 recruiting class, which now includes four players. Interestingly, all four commitments hail from the New Orleans area.

The 2026 class began to take shape with the commitment of four-star defensive lineman Richard Anderson from Karr High School. Anderson, the first to commit to LSU for the 2026 cycle, announced his pledge in June.

Following Anderson, the Tigers secured commitments from three-star safety Jakai Anderson of McDonogh 35 and three-star interior offensive lineman Jalan Chapman from Warren Easton.

As it stands, LSU’s 2026 recruiting class is ranked No. 9 nationally and No. 5 in the SEC.
