LSU football made the final three for 2026 defensive lineman JaReylan McCoy, according to a report from On3's Hayes Fawcett on Thursday.
McCoy, who decommitted from LSU in February, named the Tigers, Florida and Texas as his top three options. He will announce his decision on July 1 after reopening his recruitment earlier this year.
The four-star prospect is No. 8 out of Mississippi and No. 17 at his position, according to On3's Industry Rankings. He's currently on an official visit to the Gators and has trips scheduled for June to Texas, Ole Miss, and LSU.
McCoy would add to the nation's top class in the 2026 cycle. The six-foot-seven, 245-pounder would be the second commit at his position alongside five-star Richard Anderson. Head coach Brian Kelly's staff made enough of an impact on him the first time around.

With other schools still in the race, expect the Tigers to pull out all the stops to regain the services of one of the region's top prospects.
