Auburn football's recruiting class of 2025 believes in the vision

Despite the rough start to Auburn football's season, the future players are locked in with the Tigers

It hasn't been the season everyone expected for Auburn football. While fans weren't under the illusion that the Tigers would be playing for a national championship this season, many still hoped that the 2024 season would be an improvement from last year. Needless to say, that has not been the case.

Auburn football is heading into its second and final bye week with a 3-6 overall record and only one conference win. Week after week, mistakes plague the Tigers and even if things look good for most of the game disaster typically strikes in the fourth quarter.

It's one of the most demoralizing seasons in recent Auburn football history, but it does not mean that the future isn't bright. The highlight of 2024 has been watching the freshmen ball out week after week on either side of the ball, and they can only get better. Despite the undesirable results on the field, quarterback commit Deuce Knight believes that good things are coming for the Tigers.

"If I didn’t see the vision, I wouldn’t be committed right now," Knight said, per Auburn Rivals. "If I didn’t think that we could turn it around, I wouldn’t be committed."

And Knight isn't the only one. The QB says that ahead of each Auburn football game, head coach Hugh Freeze reaches out to the 2025 commits with an encouraging message.

"He texts us in a group message, calls us, says this is the class that if we want to turn it around, we’re the guys to turn it around," Knight said. "He believes we’ve got the skillsets, he believes he’s recruiting all the right guys to come do it. Not just the right athletes, the right people, good people in general."

2024 may not be the year, and there may still be plenty of problems for Freeze and the Tigers to address, but the recruiting class of 2025 will not be one of them.
