The Five-Star Report: Where Auburn stands with five-star targets

Auburn is in the mix with several five-star recruits in the 2025 class. Where we think the Tigers stand with each of the targets.

CB – Na’eem Offord , Birmingham, Ala., Parker (Ohio State)

In the last month, Auburn has made a significant move with Offord. There was chatter that Auburn had a chance to take another step forward with a Big Cat visit. Offord showed up to Big Cat, which was not too big of a surprise. Since that visit, there is more Auburn chatter than ever.

At one time, Auburn was at a big disadvantage after losing Offord’s two main recruiters: Zac Etheridge and Carnell Williams. Charles Kelly and Wesley McGriff have picked up the slack, it appears. If Offord were to flip his commitment, we do not think it would drag too much. Our latest intel suggests that there is a heavy Auburn push and Offord’s camp is considering Auburn heavily. Having said that, Ohio State will not relent easily at all.

WR – Caleb Cunningham , Ackerman, Miss., Choctaw County (Alabama)

Caleb Cunningham has been committed to Alabama since July 13. He was scheduled to be at Auburn’s Big Cat Weekend, but decided not to go. It felt as though Auburn was trending down in this recruitment. However, if the Tigers were to finally get its quarterback in the class (Deuce Knight), this recruitment could get interesting. As of right now, it’s fair to say Alabama has a big lead, but Auburn is not bowing out and could have more of a chance down the stretch.

OT – Andrew Babalola , Overland Park, Kan., Blue Valley Northwest

Our intel has pointed toward this recruitment coming down to Auburn and Michigan for a few weeks now. It would not be smart to count Stanford out, but Auburn and Michigan seem to have slight edges for now. Michigan has an academic and football program combination that is hard to beat. With Auburn, it’s all about relationships. The Tigers will not go away in this one with a decision more than likely coming in the month of August.

QB – Julian Lewis , Carrollton, Ga. (USC)

Auburn has turned its attention to other quarterbacks.

**These prospects are on the cusp of being a five-star, or ranked in five-star territory by at least one recruiting service..

QB – Deuce Knight , Lucedale, Miss., George County (Notre Dame)

Auburn is heavily working to flip Knight from Notre Dame. The Tigers stole momentum in this battle during Big Cat Weekend. Knight’s parents visited Big Cat while Deuce joined them later that night. As of right now, the arrow is pointing toward Auburn making this flip happen.

WR – Jerome Myles , West Jordan (Utah) Corner Canyon

The former Ole Miss commit just included Auburn in his top ten schools.

OT – Broderick Shull , Bixby, Okl. (Auburn)

Shull returned to Auburn for Big Cat Weekend and continues to be locked in with the Tigers.

Edge – Jared Smith , Hoover, Ala., Thompson (Auburn)

Smith committed to Auburn on Aug. 3 and is locked in with the Tigers.

DL – Malik Autry , Opelika, Ala. (Auburn)

Autry is committed to Auburn, but has kept an eye on other schools such as Ohio State and Florida. The Buckeyes had some confidence at one time, but the Tigers have doubled down on Autry and in keeping players in state. Auburn is in good shape to hold on to Autry at this time.
