LSU football projected to land 2028 four-star quarterback

LSU football may add a passer to its 2028 high school class. Rivals' Steve Wiltfong and Sam Spiegelman logged predictions for quarterback Tristin Gaines to pick head coach Lane Kiffin and his team. Gaines hails from Waller, TX, and stands at six-foot-one and 185 pounds. Rivals' Industry Rankings rank him No. 19 out of Texas and No. 11 among 2028 quarterbacks. He is the No. 173 overall prospect in the 2028 cycle. The Tigers are high on Gaines as their favorite passer in the 2028 class. They have one commitment so far with offensive tackle Isaiah Whitehead. Getting a pledge from one of the cycle's best passers would give them momentum heading into the offseason.
