Four-star prospect Somourian Wingo slowly emerged as one of the best wide receivers in the 2026 class. The standout from St. Augustine High School in Florida has witnessed a notable rise in his recruitment in his junior season and LSU has become the latest suitor in this race.

Brian Kelly's program extended a scholarship to Wingo for the Tigers 2026 on Wednesday. Wingo expressed his excitement about the offer on X, tagging Kelly along with LSU football personnel analyst Will Clouden, wide receiver coach Cortez Hankton Jr. and offensive coordinator Joe Sloan:

"ALL GOD🙏🏽 | Truly Blessed To Receive An Offer From Louisiana State University🟣🐯 #geuxtigers #llp🕊️ #lls🕊️@WillClouden @CoachBrianKelly @Coach_Hankton @CoachJoeSloan @Ty_Shiflet @SAHSJackets @RecruitSAHS @ChadSimmons_ @SWiltfong_ @JohnGarcia_Jr @Andrew_Ivins."

LSU has four committed players in its 2026 class: safety Aiden Hall, defensive lineman Richard Anderson, safety Jakai Anderson and interior offensive lineman Jalan Chapman. The class ranks No. 9 in the nation and No. 5 in the Southeastern Conference.

Besides Somourian Wingo, LSU remains hot on the trail for several other top-tier prospects. The Tigers are heavily favored to land four-star wide receiver Jabari Mack from Los Angeles in the 2025 class, with a 92.9% chance of securing his commitment, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

They are also contending for two other four-star wide receivers, Mississippi natives Tristen Keys and O'Mari Johnson.
