Where LSU football's top 2027 recruiting target ranks in Rivals' latest rankings
LSU football target and Louisiana native Zyron Forstall cracked the top 10 of the Rivals300 rankings. The 2027 five-star edge checked in at No. 3 overall on the initial release. Rivals' Industry Rankings places him at No. 2 among defensive ends, trailing Ladamion Guyton. Forstall, who hails from New Orleans, transferred to IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL, ahead of his junior season. The move makes him the state's top recruit. He played his first two seasons of high school football at Jesuit High School. The six-foot-three, 235-pounder already boasts plenty of Power Four offers. USC and LSU are currently the front-runners as he has taken unofficial visits to both. Under head coach Brian Kelly, the Tigers made a living by keeping the best homegrown talent in the state with its 2026 class. "Electric pass rusher who is already showing signs of dominance as a high school underclassman," wrote Rivals' Charles Power. Forstall separated himself from other prospects early on in his recruiting journey. Despite transferring to IMG, Forstall remains a Louisiana prospect. Losing him would be a big loss for Kelly and the staff.

LSU football target, New Orleans native gets massive bump from On3
LSU football target, New Orleans native gets massive bump from On3 One of LSU football's top recruiting targets just got a massive bump from On3. New Orleans defensive end Zyron Forstall (2027) is now the No. 3 overall recruit in the country per the updated On300 rankings. Forstall is the No. 2 ranked recruit at his position and the top-ranked player in the state of Louisiana. LSU extended an offer to Forstall as he wrapped up his sophomore year of high school. LSU is always considered the favorite for New Orleans' top prospects and that rule applies here. Forstall's recruitment will be a national one, but LSU is in a good spot. According to the On3 Prediction Machine, LSU has a 79.3% chance of landing Forstall's services. Alabama and Ole Miss are also contenders for the blue-chip prospect. Rivals isn't as quite high on Forstall, ranking him as the No. 121 overall recruit in the 2027 class. Forstall isn't the only elite prospect in Louisiana's 2027 cycle. Quarterback and Baton Rouge native Elijah Haven remains the No. 3 overall recruit in On3's Industry Rankings. Haven and Forstall are both projected to be elite players at premium positions. Landing both would be a coup for LSU.
