When each Auburn football commit/signee plans to enroll and arrive on the Plains
It was a big signing day for the Auburn football program, which finished the first day of the early signing period with a top-10 recruiting class. Despite missing out on some flip targets and losing a couple guys in the leadup, it's still a major accomplishment that the Tigers will pull such a strong class, especially after basically regressing in head coach Hugh Freeze's second year on the Plains.
Of course, the headliner of the class is 5-star quarterback Deuce Knight, who was originally committed to Notre Dame but finally flipped to Auburn football in October. Despite a couple of visits to in-state Ole Miss, Knight stayed strong in his commitment to the Tigers and put pen to paper on Wednesday.
Many of the players the Tigers have signed will be early enrollees and will arrive on campus in January. They include:
- 5-star QB Deuce Knight
- 5-star DL Malik Autry
- 5-star edge Jared Smith
- 4-star S Anquon Fegans
- 4-star S Eric Winters
- 4-star LB Jakaleb Faulk
- 4-star DL Jourdin Crawford
- 4-star CB Donovan Starr (if Starr does indeed remain with the Tigers)
- 4-star DL Antonio Coleman
- 4-star CB Blake Woodby
- 4-star RB Alvin Henderson
- 4-star TE Hollis Davidson
- 4-star LB Elijah Melendez
- 4-star OT Broderick Shull
- 4-star CB Devin Williams
- 3-star TE Ryan Ghea
- 3-star LB Bryce Deas
- 3-star WR Sam Turner
- 3-star OL Tai Buster
- P John Alan McGuire
Auburn's remaining commits will arrive on the Plains in the summertime, starting with wide receivers Derick (4-star) and Erick (3-star) Smith out of Selma, who will get to campus in May. 3-star inside offensive lineman Jacobe Ward is also slated to arrive in May, and then 3-star IOL Kail Ellis will arrive the next month in June.
