If you find yourself in the vicinity of Alex Golesh, you might feel some heat coming off him because the first-year Auburn head football coach is hot on the recruiting trail.
On Tuesday, the Tigers received two more commits – 3-star cornerback Aidyn Wiggins and 4-star linebacker Isaac McNeil – to add to his haul that has been getting heavy in the past few weeks.
Wiggins, out of Byrnes HS in Duncan, SC, chose the Tigers over LSU, Syracuse and Virginia Tech.
“I love it (at Auburn),” Wiggins said. “It was a great visit, great people, great experience. I love the campus and the coaching staff. They all showed love and talked to me and my family. The overall environment with the coaching staff and player personnel was great.
“Coach (Alex) Golesh is a great guy. (Cornerbacks coach DeMarcus Van Dyke) is a really good guy, very transparent. His coaching technique really shows because he puts guys in the league.”

McNeil pulled a recruiting stunt that will have Alabama fans unhappy for quite some time, putting on a Crimson Tide hat before announcing his commitment to Auburn. The Tigers’ defensive coordinator DJ Durkin played a large role in helping Auburn land the Vigor HS (Mobile, Ala.) product.
"They're great guys," McNeil said previously. "They think I can play early and they have a long track record of NFL guys. It's definitely a great place. They have a lot of experience that I could learn from. They coach with a high energy. I definitely feel like I could fit into that defense. I feel like there's a lot of different positions that they have that I could fit and I could do a lot of different things in the defense."
The two commits put Auburn at 14 in the 2027 class, which is currently ranked No. 19 by 247Sports.
