The Bayou Bengals hosted double-digit official visitors in June with the program setting the stage for what's to come across the next handful of weeks in Baton Rouge.

Kelly and Co. hold 11 commitments in the current class following the addition of the No. 2 rated athlete in Louisiana, Dezyrian Ellis, revealing a pledge to the program on Saturday.

Now, all eyes are on what's to come in the Bayou State with a pair of priority targets set to reveal commitments in 24 hours.

Which prospects are the Tigers looking to lock in? What's the buzz down the stretch? Which schools provide competition?

Commitment Watch: Two Targets to Know

Trenton Henderson: Five-Star EDGE - July 2

Pensacola Catholic (Fla.) four-star EDGE Trenton Henderson is down to three schools with a commitment date locked in as he winds down his recruitment process this summer.

Henderson a top-five edge rusher in the 2026 Recruiting Cycle, has the LSU Tigers firmly in the mix for his services following an official visit to Baton Rouge in June.

The 6-foot-4-225-pounder has earned offers from the likes of the LSU Tigers, Michigan Wolverines, Florida Gators and Auburn Tigers, but has now trimmed his list three schools ahead of his senior season.

JJ Bush: Linebacker - July 2

Theodore (Ala.) four-star linebacker JJ Bush is down to a handful of schools with a commitment decision less than 24 hours away.
