Four-star safety Ayden Pouncey released his top 10 schools and LSU made the cut.
According to a report from 247Sports’ Tom Loy, LSU was joined by Miami, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Florida, among others, for the services of the 2026 prospect.
Pouncey, a Florida native, is the No. 8 ranked safety in the class, according to ESPN’s rankings. The On3 Industry Rankings slot Pouncey No. 131 overall, No. 12 at his position, and No. 21 in the state of Florida.
Per the On3 Prediction Machine, Miami is the favorite to land Pouncey with a 23.6% chance. Florida State is second with 20.8%.
In 2024, Pouncey took visits to Oregon, Florida State, and Miami.

Brian Kelly reshaped the defensive coaching staff after the 2023 season, adding secondary coach Corey Raymond and safeties coach Jake Olsen. There was an improvement in 2024, but LSU wants the talent level at safety back to where it was in the 2000s and 2010s.
