Auburn football head coach Bryan Harsin shared intel on the recruiting class of 2021 in a zoom press conference this afternoon. He spoke about the signees and the future of the team.
Justin Ferguson shared Coach Harsin’s words on the day:

Fit was clearly important to Harsin, who is looking to build a better Auburn team for the 2021 season, but also for the future.
Auburn HC Bryan Harsin is preaching the importance of fit with this 2021 class and wanting "guys we can develop, guys we know their best football is ahead of them, guys who want to be developed."

"Fit was a factor... Guys we can develop. Guys who want to develop. That's in the classroom, weight room, film room. We wanted guys who wanted to be in Auburn."
Harsin spoke on the fact that Dawson was actually recruited by coaches of the Gus Malzahn era yet is still fully committed to the Tigers:
Bryan Harsin said Tar'varish Dawson "never waivered" on his commitment to Auburn during the coaching change.

"A guy that has just been a pleasure to be recruiting."
Cayden Bridges is one of two 3-Star DBs that signed with Auburn football today.
Auburn HC Bryan Harsin on DB Cayden Bridges, who the Tigers flipped today: "Hard-hitter, plays hard and physical. He's had some very good stats. You can see the potential he has with his development."

Auburn signed six players today, but Bryan Harsin has emphasized that recruiting never ends, and there is still room on the roster. He also noted the Tigers could be signing two more recruits in the next 48 hours.
Is Auburn done with getting signees today?
— Christian Clemente (@CClemente247) February 3, 2021
Bryan Harsin: "I think so."
But does note that they could get more signees in the next 48 hours.
Auburn football’s 2021 signing class has moved up to No. 30 in the nation, and rests at No. 11 in the SEC. With Auburn most likely finished signing today, we look forward to the next 48 hours and hope for more impactful Tigers to join us on the Plains.
