LATEST UPDATE: Brad Davis brings LSU another big-time recruiting win at offensive line
As the head coach of the LSU Tigers, Brian Kelly inevitably commands attention in the headlines. While being in the spotlight often means facing criticism, it also means receiving praise when things go well for LSU football.
However, amidst the focus on Kelly, it’s important to recognize the contributions of LSU’s offensive line coach, Brad Davis. Recently, Tyler Miller, a highly-touted four-star offensive tackle from Laurel, Mississippi, committed to the Tigers. Miller specifically acknowledged Davis as a significant factor in his decision to choose LSU over rival schools Ole Miss and Mississippi State, giving the coach a notable shout-out for his role in the recruiting process.
“When I arrived at LSU, Brad Davis, Dr. Arnold, and others made me feel at ease and like I had known them for years. Miller expressed his dedication to On3. “I see myself graduating and becoming a better man there with coach Kelly.”
“I feel like I’m the closest to Coach Brad,” Miller explained. “That’s a somebody I really like, and his hustle and grind are incredible. My relationship with the coaching staff is family, and their plan for me has a strong possibility of making an effect as soon as I foot on campus, but I have to work every day, and nothing will be provided.
Miller’s commitment to LSU signifies a significant addition for the Tigers, both in terms of his physical stature and his impact on the team’s future success. Standing at an imposing 6-foot-5 and weighing 315 pounds, Miller is already an imposing figure as he enters his senior year of high school. His impressive size is matched by his ranking as the No. 13 offensive tackle in the highly competitive 2025 class, according to the 247Sports Composite.
Notably, Miller’s commitment marks the second major offensive line acquisition secured by coach Brad Davis in this recruiting cycle. Davis also played a pivotal role in recruiting four-star interior offensive lineman Devin Harper, who is ranked as the No. 5 prospect at his position nationwide. This demonstrates Davis’s effectiveness as a recruiter and his ability to attract top talent to LSU’s offensive line, solidifying the team’s foundation for the future.
