The Tigers signed four-star tight end JC Anderson, four-star wide receiver Corey Barber and four-star wide receiver Brayden Allen on Wednesday. Anderson and Barber were committed to Kiffin at Ole Miss, while Allen is a Lafayette Christian Academy star who was pledged to Oklahoma before Kiffin arrived at LSU.
Three-star offensive lineman Ryan Miret also flipped his commitment from Ole Miss to LSU on Tuesday and signed with the Tigers on Wednesday.
