In a jaw-dropping announcement that has set social media ablaze and left sports fans worldwide in awe, a pair of 8-foot-tall twins โ the tallest sibling athletes ever known to commit to college sports โ have officially announced their decision to join the LSU Tigers. The brothers, whose extraordinary height and athleticism have made them global sensations, declared their commitment to Louisiana State University (LSU) during a televised press event that drew millions of viewers online.
Identified as Jalen and Jordan Marshall, the towering twins hail from Texas and have taken the sports world by storm. With wingspans reportedly over 8.5 feet and natural coordination that defies their size, the Marshalls have dominated every level of competition theyโve encountered โ whether on the basketball court, track and field, or even as viral internet personalities.
At just 18 years old, their combination of size, strength, and agility has attracted scouts from every major Division I program, along with considerable attention from international basketball leagues and even Olympic development programs.
Yet despite offers from elite schools such as Duke, Kentucky, and Gonzaga, the twins made one thing clear: LSU was always the destination.
Speaking at their commitment press conference, held at their high school gym packed with family, fans, and media, both twins gave heartfelt explanations for choosing LSU over dozens of suitors.
Itโs more than just basketball,โ said Jalen Marshall, the older twin by two minutes. โLSU treated us like family from day one. They understood who we are โ not just how tall we are.
The coaching staff didnโt look at us like freaks or novelties,โ added Jordan. They respected our grind. They saw our potential as people, students, and leaders.
The twins also credited LSUโs strong player development program, campus culture, and academic support system as major factors in their decision. Additionally, their family has deep roots in Louisiana, making LSU feel like a second home.
Following the announcement, LSUโs head basketball coach could hardly contain his excitement.
This is one of the most historic commitments in the history of college athletics,โ he said. โJalen and Jordan bring more than height โ they bring heart, humility, and a hunger to be great.
Social media exploded with reactions. LSU students took to Twitter to welcome the twins, while basketball analysts began speculating how their size could redefine LSUโs strategy on both ends of the court. Several predicted that LSU will instantly become a Final Four contender with the twins on the roster.
Beyond their size, the twins have built a massive following online, where they share workout clips, motivational messages, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of their unique lives. However, the Marshalls are more than viral athletes โ they are also vocal advocates for anti-bullying efforts and body positivity, drawing from their own experiences growing up โdifferent.
We were stared at, made fun of, even feared,โ said Jordan. โNow weโre showing kids that being different is your superpower.
The twins are set to enroll at LSU in the fall of 2025 and will begin training with the Tigers immediately after graduation. With scouts already labeling them as future NBA prospects and global ambassadors for the sport, the Marshallsโ journey is just beginning.
The commitment of 8-foot-tall twins Jalen and Jordan Marshall to LSU is more than a sports story โ itโs a cultural moment. As they prepare to take the next step in their journey, one thing is certain: the world will be watching, and
the Tigers just got a whole lot taller.
