LSU’s Damien Shanklin arrives as a high-upside edge rusher with real national pedigree
Damien Shanklin is a 6-foot-5 LSU edge defender who was ranked as high as the No. 8 edge rusher nationally by Rivals and No. 14 by On3, and his EA Sports College Football 26 rating shows a build that already translates: 89 acceleration, 82 agility and 77 strength. [1][3] He matters because he brings disruptive burst off the edge plus the length coaches covet, and his reputation as a top recruit who committed to LSU without NIL pressure suggests strong buy-in and competitiveness.
