Anthony Sweeney makes surprise official visit to LSU

5-star EDGE rusher Anthony Sweeney, who is currently committed to Texas Tech, made an unexpected official visit to LSU on June 19, 2026. Sweeney's recruitment remained active due to continued interest from LSU's EDGE coach Sterling Lucas and Maryland Terrapins. The visit coincided with LSU's annual Friday Night Lights showcase, where other prospects also attended. The Tigers recently secured commitments from Chris Whitehead and KJ Green, with Green returning to LSU to assist in recruiting Sweeney. This visit raises the possibility of LSU flipping commitments from Texas Tech's top prospects, including Sweeney and Jalen Brewster. LSU's efforts to establish strong relationships with recruits have been emphasized as key to their recruiting strategy.
