Xavier Young, a five-star center in the Class of 2028, has committed to LSU men’s basketball and will reclassify to the Class of 2027, he announced on Saturday.

Young is the No. 4 center and No. 11 player nationally in the 2028 class, per the 247Sports Composite. LSU beat out finalists Michigan, Tennessee, Maryland and TCU for his services.

He joins a loaded 2027 LSU recruiting class that is currently the No. 1 class in the nation, per the 247Sports Composite. Coach Will Wade has landed commitments from five-star point guard Reed Alston, five-star guard King Gibson and two-sport star Ahmad Hudson, who is a five-star tight end and a top basketball recruit.

Alston committed to LSU on Thursday. Gibson pledged to the Tigers on Oct. 4.

LSU begins its 2026-27 campaign on Tuesday night against LSU New Orleans. Tip-off is set for 7 pm at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
