Over the weekend, the Auburn football program hosted its second-to-last weekend group of recruits before the dead period hits at the end of the month. Here is what went down on the Plains during the weekend of recruiting.

Hosting visitors

The Tigers hosted unofficial visitors over the weekend, but pulled out all the stops for their six official visitors, three of whom have already committed to the program. Read about the official visitors here.

Landon Duckworth returns

Last week, the 5-star quarterback from Jackson, Alabama, announced he had narrowed his recruitment down to two schools: Auburn and South Carolina. He cancelled his other official visits and returned to the Plains to spend the weekend with the Tigers' wide receivers and Deuce Knight. Read more about the visit.

Cederian Morgan officially visits

The Tigers hosted the No. 2 wide receiver in the recruiting class of 2026 for his official visit before his decision day on July 2. He finishes up his official visits at Tuscaloosa next weekend, and Auburn is hoping his bond with wide receivers coach Marcus Davis will persuade him to choose the Tigers. Read more.

Shadarius Toodle reaffirms commitment
