5-Star Tristen Keys Commits to LSU Over Alabama, More; No. 1-Ranked WR in 2026 Class

Tristen Keys, the top-ranked wide receiver for the high school class of 2026, has chosen to play college football for LSU, per Hayes Fawcett of On3.

Keys is also ranked fifth overall among all class of 2026 prospects, per 247Sports' Composite list.

With the Keys commitment, LSU adds to an already loaded class of 2026.

The Tigers have done a tremendous job recruiting in-state. Per On3, the class of 2026 also has five 4-star players in defensive lineman Richard Anderson, safety Aiden Hall, offensive lineman Brysten Martinez and wide receivers Kenny Darby and Jakai Anderson. All of them are from Louisiana, along with 3-star offensive lineman Jalan Chapman.

Keys, who measures at 6'2.5" and 185 pounds, plays high school ball for Hattiesburg High School in Mississippi. He had 58 catches for 1,275 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns, per Michael Chavez of the Clarion Ledger. He helped lead his school to a MHSAA Class 6A title game appearance as well.

LSU has produced superstar talent at wideout over the years, including Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson and Brian Thomas Jr. Keys could very well add his name to that list down the line, but for now, he has one year of high school ball left before making his way to Baton Rouge.
