The Auburn Tigers have pulled off a recruiting shocker, flipping the nation’s No. 1 cornerback, a 5-star prospect, from his commitment to Ohio State. This blockbuster announcement solidifies Auburn’s place among college football’s top recruiting programs and showcases the influence of head coach Hugh Freeze on the trail.
The elite defensive back, whose name has become synonymous with lockdown coverage, originally pledged to the Buckeyes earlier this year. However, a series of visits to Auburn, coupled with strong relationships with the Tigers’ coaching staff, proved decisive.
“This is where I see myself thriving both on and off the field,” the recruit said in his announcement. “The vision Coach Freeze and the staff have for me is unmatched, and I’m ready to compete in the SEC.”
The addition of the 5-star cornerback bolsters Auburn’s secondary and elevates their 2024 recruiting class to new heights. Known for his exceptional ball skills, speed, and instincts, he is expected to make an immediate impact when he arrives on The Plains.
For Auburn, this flip is not just a win over Ohio State but a statement to the rest of the college football world: the Tigers are back as a force in recruiting. Fans can expect this momentum to carry into National Signing Day as Auburn continues to build a roster capable of competing at the highest level.
