Brian Kelly and Co. land the Top-10 cornerback in America, Havon Finney Jr. heading to the Bayou State.
Sierra Canyon (Calif.) cornerback Havon Finney Jr. has committed to the LSU Tigers, he revealed via social media on Monday.
Finney, a Top-10 cornerback in America, recently reclassified into the 2026 Recruiting Cycle where he will skip his junior campaign.
Prior to making the move to reclassify, Finney was the No. 1 cornerback in America in the 2027 cycle.
The California native selected Brian Kelly’s LSU Tigers over the USC Trojans down the stretch with both programs turning up the heat for his services this offseason.
“This process has been great, it’s a blessing,” Finney said of his recruiting process. “It’s always been a dream of mine to get to this point, and now I’m here.”
Finney added: “LSU was an easy choice for me. The coaching staff, the environment and alumni base that they have. I can build connections on and off the field there.”
Finney is coming off of a big-time sophomore season where he finished with 37 tackles, 16 pass break-ups and four interceptions.
“LSU I’d say them producing a lot of DBs,” Finney told On3’s Steve Wiltfong about his interest in the Tigers back in March. “The corners coach is really cool, Corey Raymond. He’s put a lot of dudes in the league. I’ve grown to know him and it’s been a cool experience.”
LSU now adds to the No. 1 Recruiting Class in the 2026 cycle that is bursting with talent.
The program holds pledges from a myriad of top talents in the country; headlined by the No. 1 wide receiver in America, Tristen Keys.
