No. 1 American 6-Foot-3 Forward Kianni Westbrook Officially Commits to LSU Over Alabama, Auburn, and Florida
In a major recruiting win for the LSU Tigers, elite 6-foot-3 forward **Kianni Westbrook** has officially committed to play for LSU, choosing the Tigers over Alabama, Auburn, and Florida. The highly touted prospect, ranked as the No. 1 forward in the nation, is expected to make an immediate impact under head coach Kim Mulkey.
Westbrook’s decision solidifies LSU’s dominance in recruiting, as the program continues to attract top-tier talent. With her size, versatility, and ability to score in the paint and beyond, Westbrook is projected to be a key piece for the Tigers’ future success. Her defensive presence and rebounding skills also make her a perfect fit for LSU’s aggressive style of play.
“I chose LSU because of the winning culture, the coaching staff, and the opportunity to grow as a player and a person,” Westbrook said in her announcement. “Coach Mulkey’s vision for the team and her history of developing players made this decision easy for me.”
Westbrook had been a top target for multiple SEC programs, with Alabama, Auburn, and Florida all making strong pushes to land her commitment. However, LSU’s recent success and championship pedigree played a crucial role in her final decision.
Her commitment boosts LSU’s already strong recruiting class and sets the stage for another deep tournament run in the coming seasons. With Westbrook joining a talented roster, the Tigers are poised to remain a powerhouse in women’s college basketball.
