This weekend, the Auburn Tigers football program will put on its first Big Cat Weekend recruiting event under the direction of head coach Alex Golesh. The event is held annually and is billed as more of a get-together with fellowship and games rather than a logistical program visit.
Big Cat Weekend is often the source of at least a few commits for the Tigers each year, but where does Auburn's recruiting class of 2027 stand heading into the weekend?
According to 247 Sports, the Tigers' class of 2027 contains six commits and is ranked No. 36 in the country. The class is near the bottom in the SEC, ranked No. 14.
The first commit came in February of 2026 from 4-star defensive lineman Donovan Moore from Bessemer, Alabama. He is ranked as the No. 12 overall DL and the No. 5 recruit out of the state of Alabama. Moore chose the Tigers over Alabama and Ole Miss, among other programs.
Next up were a trio of commitments in April. First, 3-star tight end George Lamons Jr. committed on the 18th. From Quitman, Georgia, he is ranked as the No. 16 overall TE and the No. 36 recruit out of the Peach State. Days later, 4-star running back Myson Johnson-Cook announced his commitment. The No. 4 overall running back, Johnson-Cook is from East St. Louis, Illinois, and is the No. 3 recruit out of his state. At the end of April, 3-star inside offensive lineman Jaylon Moore from Fairburn, Georgia, announced his commitment. He is the No. 55 overall IOL in the class of 2027.
May began with the commitment of 3-star wide receiver Brylan Oduor from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Ranked as the No. 52 wide receiver in the class of 2027, Oduor chose the Tigers over Indiana, Ole Miss, South Florida and many other programs.
The most recent commit to join ranks with the Tigers is 3-star quarterback Gary Chatman Jr. from Snellville, Georgia. Ranked as the No. 57 overall QB in the class, Chatman was originally committed to Wake Forest but walked back his pledge just a week before flipping to Auburn.
The momentum seems to be on the rise for Golesh and the Tigers, and hopefully it will carry into Big Cat Weekend.
