On3’s Steve Wiltfong logged a prediction Sunday for LSU to land a commitment from four-star offensive lineman Emanuel Tucker. Tucker is slated to make his commitment on June 13.
Tucker took a trip to Baton Rouge over the weekend and it seems that the head coach Brian Kelly’s staff won him over. He was active on social media, reposting content from the LSU facilities.
Last weekend, Tucker decommitted from Mississippi State and reopened his recruitment process. Ole Miss and the Tigers entered the race with heavy hands over the past few days. Both are considered the front-runners for Tucker’s services.
According to On3’s Industry Rankings, Tucker is the No. 203 overall prospect in the 2026 cycle. He is No. 16 at offensive tackle and No. 9 out of Mississippi. The New Albany, MS native initially chose the Bulldogs but he’s under an hour away from Oxford.
Tucker would be a significant regional get for Kelly, who built the SEC’s best class of the 2026 cycle. He would be the second Mississippi native, alongside five-star Tristen Keys and the third offensive lineman, in addition to Brysten Martinez and Jalen Chapman.
