3-star Louisiana cornerback Aidan Anding commits to LSU
[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and the LSU Tigers have landed another cornerback in the 2025 recruiting class.
Three-star cornerback [autotag]Aidan Anding[/autotag] has announced his commitment to LSU. Anding is a 5-foot-11, 160-pound, three-star corner from Ruston, Louisiana, where he plays for Ruston High School. The Ruston Bearcats are preparing for their 2024 season opener against Neville on Aug. 31.
Anding chose the Tigers over Texas, Arkansas, Miami, TCU and others. LSU’s [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] is currently ranked as the No. 3 class in the country according to 247Sports. The Tigers only trail Ohio State and Alabama for the top spot.
Anding is the third cornerback commitment of the class joining four-star [autotag]Cade Phillips[/autotag] and five-star [autotag]DJ Pickett[/autotag]. Kelly has had to rely on the transfer portal in recent years to fill spots in his secondary but he is recruiting at a high enough level in the secondary that he may not need the transfer portal as much.
