April 29, 2025 - 02:08

In a significant boost to their recruiting efforts, Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers have secured a commitment from standout cornerback recruit Havon Finney Jr. on Monday. Finney, hailing from Los Angeles, has made waves in the recruiting world, previously ranked as the top cornerback and among the top five overall recruits in the 2027 class before he decided to reclassify to 2026.

Standing at 6 feet 3 inches and weighing 170 pounds, Finney possesses a unique blend of size and athleticism that makes him a formidable presence on the field. His commitment comes after an impressive Junior Day visit to the Oregon Ducks on January 25, where he showcased his skills and potential. Finney had also planned visits with other powerhouse programs, including the Ohio State Buckeyes and USC Trojans, later this summer, highlighting the competitive nature of his recruitment.

This commitment is a testament to LSU's growing reputation as a destination for top-tier talent, enhancing their defensive lineup for the future.
