LSU secures commitment from top Virginia edge rusher Chris Whitehead

Chris Whitehead, ranked as the No. 6 edge rusher nationally, has committed to LSU after a previous visit to Baton Rouge. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound prospect from Chesterfield, Virginia, chose LSU over offers from South Carolina, Virginia Tech, and Ohio State. His commitment adds depth to LSU’s defensive recruiting efforts for the 2027 class, following a robust week for the program in terms of securing other commitments in positions such as running back and offensive line. LSU aims to continue its momentum in recruiting with more official visits scheduled as the dead period approaches.
