BREAKING: Elite 4-Star WR Jabari Mack Commits to LSU, Bolstering Tigers’ 2026 Class
LSU continues to assert its dominance on the recruiting trail, landing a major commitment from elite 4-star wide receiver jabari Mack. The 6-foot, 190-pound playmaker from Destrehan, Louisiana, has pledged his future to the Tigers, giving head coach Brian Kelly and his staff another dynamic weapon in their 2026 recruiting class.
Mack, ranked among the Top 10 wide receivers in the 2026 class, chose LSU over offers from powerhouse programs such as Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and Florida State. His commitment further strengthens LSU’s reputation as “Wide Receiver U”, following in the footsteps of former stars like Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Malik Nabers.
What LSU is Getting in Jabari Mack
Mack is a versatile and explosive receiver with a skill set that makes him a nightmare for defenses. His combination of speed, precise route-running, and physicality allows him to be a threat at all levels of the field. Whether he’s making contested catches in traffic, stretching defenses with deep routes, or turning short receptions into big gains, Mack has proven he can do it all.
During his junior season at Destrehan High School, Mack showcased his elite talent, recording over 1,200 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns while averaging more than 20 yards per catch. His ability to separate from defenders and high-point the football makes him a natural fit in LSU’s high-powered passing attack.
Mack’s frame (6-0, 190 lbs) gives him the strength to battle physical defensive backs while maintaining the agility to create mismatches. Scouts praise his football IQ, elite hands, and ability to track the ball in deep passing situations, making him one of the most polished receivers in the 2026 cycle.
Why LSU?
For Mack, the decision to commit to LSU came down to the program’s proven track record of developing elite wide receivers and its strong connection to Louisiana talent.
“LSU has always been a dream school for me,” Mack said in his announcement. “The coaching staff made me feel like family, and the way they develop receivers is unmatched. I know I can come in, compete, and be part of something special.”
LSU’s wide receivers coach, Cortez Hankton, played a significant role in Mack’s recruitment, emphasizing how the Tigers’ system would maximize his strengths. With LSU’s continued commitment to an explosive, vertical passing game, Mack sees an opportunity to make an early impact.
What’s Next for LSU’s 2026 Class?
With Mack on board, LSU’s 2026 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the nation’s best. His commitment follows recent pledges from several highly ranked prospects, and the Tigers remain in pursuit of other top talents across the country.
Mack’s addition solidifies LSU’s receiving corps of the future, ensuring that the Tigers continue to reload with elite playmakers. His commitment also sends a strong message to other top recruits that LSU remains a premier destination for offensive stars.
As the Tigers continue building toward the future, Jabari Mack’s commitment marks another major win for Brian Kelly and LSU’s recruiting efforts
