LSU gained a commitment Monday from record-setting quarterback Peyton Houston, making him the first member of the Tigers' Class of 2027.

Houston is a four-star prospect who plays at in-state Evangel Christian Academy in Shreveport. He took an unofficial visit to Baton Rouge over the weekend and saw No. 3 LSU defeat Florida, 20-10.

As a sophomore in 2024, he threw for 4,480 yards for the season and set a national single-game record with 817 yards last October. He completed 38 touchdown passes and was intercepted six times. He also ran for 690 yards and seven TDs.

Houston is 5-foot-11 and weighs 200 pounds. He is ranked as the No. 11 quarterback prospect and No. 126 player overall by the 247Sports composite.

He chose the Tigers over finalists Oklahoma, Southern California, Texas and Texas A&M.
