Netflix Set to Release Explosive Documentary on LSU Tigers Football: Behind-the-Scenes Drama, Untold Stories, and the Rise of a Powerhouse…..

 

In this story:

Akron (Ohio) Archbishop Hoban four-star cornerback Elbert Hill is in the midst of a critical offseason as he continues working through his recruitment process as one of the top defensive backs in America.

 

Hill, the No. 4 rated cornerback in the 2026 Recruiting Cycle, flaunts an offer list with the “Who’s Who” of college football extending scholarships his way.

 

For Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers, the program officially offered Hill a scholarship in late February after making the call to the Ohio native.

 

A prospect that has begun locking in a visit schedule for both the spring and summer, the Bayou Bengals have entered the mix with force after being late to offer.

 

The Alabama Crimson Tide, Oregon Ducks, USC Trojans and the hometown Ohio State Buckeyes are four schools to monitor, according to On3 Sports’ Chad Simmons, but the LSU Tigers will now look to make up ground.

 

Ohio State is currently viewed as the favorite to land the top-ranked defensive back with others surging in his recruitment.

 

Now, Kelly and Co. will look to work their way into his process as a program that can make a splash late.

 

On Tuesday afternoon, Hill revealed an official visit schedule that included the LSU Tigers. He will be in Baton Rouge on May 30 to begin a multi-day stay on campus.

 

He will also officially visit the USC Trojans, Oregon Ducks and Alabama Crimson Tide in June.

 

The Bayou Bengals have set the foundation in the 2026 Recruiting Class with a Top-5 group to this point and the No. 1 class in the Southeastern Conference.

Now, it’s about building on the class with a critical spring and summer stretch inching closer.

 

Which commits make up the class to this point?
