Tre Segarra, a standout running back from Byrnes High School in South Carolina, has officially committed to the Louisiana State University Tigers, announcing his decision on social media this week.
During his junior season, Segarra amassed 1,460 rushing yards and found the end zone 17 times across 11 games, while also contributing four touchdowns through the air, showcasing a versatile skill set that attracted attention from programs nationwide.
The recruit listed South Carolina, Stanford, and North Carolina among his finalists before narrowing his focus to LSU, a choice that reflects both the program’s recent trajectory and the personal connections he forged during visits.
Why LSU?
Coaches at LSU highlighted the opportunity to play early and contribute to a revitalized offense, emphasizing the school’s tradition of developing talent for the NFL. For Segarra, the decision is as much about family legacy as it is about competing at the highest level of college football.
His commitment adds depth to LSU’s 2026 recruiting class, which is already ranked among the nation’s top tiers. The Tigers hope his blend of power running and receiving prowess will bolster a ground game that has shown flashes of brilliance but still seeks consistency.
Beyond the statistics, Segarra’s arrival signals a new chapter for the Byrnes program, which has produced several Division I athletes. His decision underscores the growing pipeline of talent from the Palmetto State to the SEC.
