Auburn football head coach Alex Golesh and his staff have been moving and groving on the recruiting trail, but where does the Tigers' recruiting class stand heading into the dead period?
Though there was a flood of official visits and camps throughout the months of May and early June, the dead period officially began on June 22 at midnight and will close on Sept. 1. During a dead period, no in-person recruiting contact can be made.
Auburn football's recruiting class of 2027 is currently ranked No. 9 overall and No. 5 in the SEC with 22 commits already on board. The commits are pretty evenly spread throughout the positions, with a breakdown seen below:
- Quarterback: 1
- Running back: 3
- Wide receiver: 1
- Offensive line: 4
- Tight end: 1
- Defensive line: 4
- Linebacker: 2
- Defensive back: 4
- Special teams: 2
The Tigers' most highly-ranked commit currently is 4-star linebacker Isaac McNeil out of Mobile, Alabama, who committed to the Tigers earlier this month. He is closely followed by 4-star running back Myson Johnson-Cook, who committed back in April.
Who could be the next Auburn commit?
On the morning of Tuesday, June 23, Auburn football target DeShawn Hall is set to announce his commitment decision. Heading into decision day, Hall's top two schools seem to be Auburn and Penn State, but the Tigers are hoping to keep the in-state product at home.
A 4-star wide receiver, Hall is from Prattville, Alabama, and is the No. 7 prospect out of the state. He is the No. 25 wide receiver in his recruiting class, and he would immediately become the most highly-ranked receiver in Auburn's class. The Tigers only have one other wide receiver commit, so far, in 3-star Brylan Oduor, from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is ranked as the No. 19 prospect out of his state and the No. 58 wide receiver in the recruiting class of 2027.
Hall officially visited both Auburn and Penn State earlier this summer, and he is a multi-sport athlete who also received offers from multiple schools to play basketball. He transferred to Prattville High School in 2025 and caught 40 passes for 660 yards and five touchdowns, according to his recruiting profile on 247 Sports.
Though Hall does hold a 247 Sports Crystal Ball prediction to land at Penn State, the Tigers are still hopeful they can keep the talented wide receiver in the south to play for Auburn in his home state.
