LSU Football Battling Alabama Crimson Tide for Four-Star Wide Receiver Commitment

Brian Kelly and Co. will fight an SEC rival for a top wideout, looking to hold onto the highly-touted wideout.

Bossier City (La.) Airline wide receiver Kenny Darby is currently on an official visit with Kaleb DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide as he mulls over his options on the recruiting trail.

Darby, one of the top pledges in the LSU Tigers’ 2026 Recruiting Class, has become a hot commodity on the recruiting scene with the “Who’s Who” of college football in his ear.

He had previously been pledged to the Mississippi State Bulldogs before flipping his decision to Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers last fall.

A 6-foot-1, 178-pounder who had been on LSU’s radar, Kelly and the Tigers extended an offer to the coveted Bayou State native ahead of the program’s matchup against the Alabama Crimson Tide in early November while on a visit.

After receiving a scholarship from his dream school last fall, the prolific wideout made his decision. He’s an LSU Tiger.

“I want to be a part of that and they put wide receivers in the draft every year,” Darby told On3 Sports about his commitment. “They develop receivers and they are WRU. I feel like I can have a lot of success at LSU and I feel like I fit the mode of an LSU wide receiver.”

But other schools remain in his ear down the stretch as he navigates his recruitment process this offseason with one in particular standing out.

The program that has piqued his interest across the last few months is the Alabama Crimson Tide with DeBoer and Co. turning up the heat.

Darrby is currently on an official visit in Tuscaloosa with the program giving the LSU commitment something to think about.

Now, while on an official visit, Darby has shifted things up in his recruitment, according to On3 Sports.

Despite currently being committed to the LSU Tigers, Darby will reveal a “final decision” on July 4 between LSU and Alabama.
