And in the process, LSU is taking the first steps toward forming one of the elite sibling duos in the SEC for multiple seasons to come. LSU has landed the first commitment in its 2028 cycle, as three-star offensive tackle Isaiah Whitehead has chosen to join the Tigers and head coachLSU head coach Lane Kiffin speaks at South Stadium Club at Tiger Stadium.
| Matthew Hinton-Imagn Images LSU has now landed 10 commitments in the month of June, nine of those coming in the 2027 class. And the scary part is, the Tigers might just be getting started. There areThe Tigers are now up to 13 commits in the 2027 class, but that's hardly stopping the 2028 cycle from making headlines with the latest edition in Whitehead.
A product of Lloyd C. Bird High School in Chesterfield, VA where he is teammates with his older brother, Isaiah Whitehead is the No. 34 offensive tackle in the 2028 class and the No. 7 overall player in the state of Virginia, per 247Sports' composite rankings. Standing at nearly 6-5, 325 pounds, Whitehead will only continue to grow into his massive frame as his high school career winds down.
By the time he gets to campus in two years, he could be ready to have a key depth role on the offensive line, though it would certainly be ideal if he's able to battle for a starting job. Despite his three-star status, Whitehead has received offers from top programs like Georgia, Penn State, Texas A&M, Missouri, Florida State and Tennessee along with offers from teams like South Carolina, Virginia, Pitt, SMU, Cal, Maryland, Wake Forest, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Syracuse and many more.
It's clear that other elite teams are intrigued by Whitehead's potential, which might signal that LSU has secured an early steal in the 2028 recruiting class.

Intel's Serpent Lake Processors with Nvidia Graphics May Target Q1 2028 LaunchIntel is reportedly targeting the first quarter of 2028 for the launch of its Serpent Lake processors, which are expected to integrate Nvidia RTX graphics technology instead of Intel's own Arc GPUs. According to hardware tipster FX57, the chips could debut at CES 2028 if the schedule holds. Serpent Lake, first mentioned in earlier roadmap leaks, would pair Intel CPU cores with an Nvidia graphics tile and is likely aimed at AI-focused PCs and high-end mobile workstations rather than mainstream products. This move raises questions about the future of Intel's Arc graphics division, though it may continue in-house for other segments. The processors are said to be a branch of the upcoming Titan Lake mobile architecture, alongside other codenames like Nova Lake and Razor Lake.
