Nation’s No. 1 Safety DeMario McCall Shuts Down Recruitment, Chooses LSU
DeMario McCall, the nation’s No. 1 safety and a highly touted five-star recruit, has officially shut down his recruitment and committed to Louisiana State University (LSU). McCall’s decision comes as a significant coup for LSU’s football program, which has been aggressively pursuing top talent in the 2026 class.
McCall’s Recruitment Journey
McCall, a standout safety from Atlanta, Georgia, was heavily recruited by several top programs, including Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State. However, after careful consideration, he chose LSU due to its strong football tradition, excellent coaching staff, and commitment to developing top players.
LSU’s 2026 Recruiting Class
McCall’s commitment is a major boost to LSU’s 2026 recruiting class, which is shaping up to be one of the best in the country. The Tigers have already secured several top recruits, including five-star wide receiver Julian Bradley and four-star quarterback Ja’Quan Franklin.
