On Wednesday, LSU football secured a verbal commitment from Jaiden Braker, a former South Carolina pledge, adding a significant name to their 2025 recruiting class. Braker, a linebacker from Snellville, Georgia, initially committed to South Carolina on July 6, choosing the Gamecocks over Kentucky. However, after a recent visit to Baton Rouge where he received an offer from LSU head coach Brian Kelly, Braker decided to flip his commitment to the Tigers.
Rated as a three-star prospect by 247 Sports, Braker has garnered attention from multiple programs over the past year. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 212 pounds, he has impressed scouts with his physicality and potential. His recruitment gained momentum in January when he received an offer from Bowling Green, signaling the start of a busy year for the linebacker. In addition to LSU, Braker holds scholarship offers from several notable programs, including Rutgers, California, Brigham Young, Utah, and North Carolina State.
Braker’s decision to commit to LSU highlights the Tigers’ ongoing efforts to strengthen their defensive roster. His addition to the class of 2025 brings a promising talent to Baton Rouge and reflects the program’s growing appeal under Coach Kelly’s leadership. With his combination of size and athleticism, Braker is expected to make a significant impact on LSU’s defense in the coming years.
As the recruiting cycle progresses, Braker’s commitment to LSU is a notable development in the team’s efforts to build a strong and competitive squad. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how he develops and contributes to the Tigers’ future success.
