Brian Kelly and his LSU Football Staff Land Four-Star Linebacker Charles Ross
Charles Ross, a four-star linebacker from Texas, announced his commitment to LSU via social media, marking a significant win for Brian Kelly and the LSU football program.
Ross’s decision to join LSU’s top-ranked recruiting class in the nation comes after a fruitful visit to the campus over the weekend. LSU defensive coordinator Blake Baker played a pivotal role in securing Ross’s commitment, having prioritized him since extending an offer earlier this year.
Hailing from North Shore High School, Ross showcased his talents with an impressive junior season, boasting 71 tackles, six sacks, two pass breakups, two interceptions, and a pick-six. Additionally, he displayed his athleticism by recording a personal-best 10.63 in the 100-meter dash during track season.
Ross’s addition further strengthens LSU’s already formidable 2025 recruiting class, which features standout prospects like Bryce Underwood, the top-ranked player overall.
Keylan Moses stands alongside Ross as one of the program’s commitments, with LSU’s defensive coordinator Baker aiming to fortify talent across all defensive positions.
The LSU football program has been proactive in hosting priority recruits, with recent visits from top-ranked players like Jonah Williams, DJ Pickett, and Bryce Underwood. These visits provide prospects with the opportunity to experience LSU’s football culture firsthand, including attending spring practices and familiarizing themselves with the program’s values.
Corey Raymond, LSU’s esteemed defensive backs coach, has been instrumental in recruiting efforts, leveraging his experience and success to attract top defensive talent like Pickett. Raymond’s impact has been immediate, with LSU securing commitments from highly touted defensive backs, including Jaboree Antoine.
During visits, current LSU players and recruits have connected, fostering camaraderie and providing insights into the program’s atmosphere. Notably, Keylan Moses and other Tigers have actively engaged with recruits like Pickett, showcasing the program’s unity and vision for the future.
Looking ahead, LSU’s recruiting efforts remain focused, with upcoming visits scheduled for top prospects like Caleb Cunningham. The program’s commitment to securing top talent underscores its dedication to sustained success on the field.
As LSU embarks on spring football, these recruiting endeavors serve as a testament to the program’s enduring allure and ambition under Brian Kelly’s leadership.
