LSU football gained another valuable recruit for its 2025 class.
Dilan Battle, a three-star defensive line player from Arlington, Texas, announced his commitment to the Tigers on Monday through his X page. Choosing LSU over offers from top schools like Alabama, TCU, Missouri, Miami, Oregon, and Penn State, Battle will join four-star edge rushers Damien Shanklin and LaJesse Harrold, as well as three-star players Brandon Brown and Zion Williams (from Lufkin, Texas) on the Tigers’ defense.
At 6-3 and 300 pounds, Battle brings size and strength to a much-needed position for LSU. With multiple starters leaving after this season, head coach Brian Kelly has made it a priority to bolster the defensive line in recruiting this cycle. Bo Davis, LSU’s new defensive line coach who previously coached at the University of Texas, was instrumental in building a relationship with Battle and ultimately securing his commitment.
Currently ranked third overall in the 2025 class behind Ohio State and Alabama, LSU now has 22 total committed players.
