At least 100 student-athletes around Louisiana inked football scholarships Wednesday and Thursday during the NCAA’s early signing period for the 2026 recruiting class.
National headlines included LSU- and Ohio State-bound stars such as Edna Karr teammates Richard Anderson and Aiden Hall staying close to home with the Tigers or Catholic-Baton Rouge safety Blaine Bradford heading north to the reigining national champions.
But an extensive list of standouts from every corner of the state will help bolster rosters all over the country, even as far as a handful heading all the way to Washington and Washington State: West Monroe wide receiver Trez Davis to the Huskies and Edna Karr teammates Tre Garrison and Torrence Sanders, Belle Chasse defensive lineman Savion Barthelemy and Archbishop Shaw defensive back Jackson Williams to the Cougars.
Here’s the rundown, high school by high school, of those we’ve been able to report thus far.
