LSU lands 3-star defensive tackle in 2025 recruiting class

On Monday, Brian Kelly and his recruiting staff landed another commitment in the 2025 recruiting class when the Tigers picked up a three-star defensive tackle from Arlington, Texas.

Dilan Battle is a 6-foot-3, 300-pound, three-star defensive tackle from Arlington, where he plays for Mansfield Timberview High School. The Tigers were not projected to land him. SMU was a 24% favorite to land him per On3’s recruiting prediction machine.

Battle becomes the third defensive lineman to commit to the Tigers in the 2025 class, joining fellow three-stars Brandon Brown and Zion Williams . The Tigers 2025 class is ranked No. 3 in the country according to 247Sports.

The class is headlined by five-stars Bryce Underwood , DJ Pickett , Derek Meadows and Harlem Berry . Brian Kelly has signed a top-10 class every year since he arrived in Baton Rouge. This class looks like it could be his greatest work yet. There is still a long time before the early signing period, and the Tigers are not done yet.
