Auburn’s early national signing day has largely been a success, with several key recruits officially joining the Tigers. Most commitments held firm, with signees eager to make their Auburn allegiance official early in the day. However, Auburn experienced one surprise loss as four-star cornerback Shamar Arnoux flipped his commitment to Florida State despite being pledged to Auburn since November.
On the positive side, the Tigers locked in five-star edge rusher Jared Smith, who had been considering other schools, and secured five-star quarterback Deuce Knight, who made his commitment public during his signing ceremony. Another standout signing was safety Anquon Fegans, who turned down late advances from Alabama.
A pleasant surprise for Auburn was the flip of three-star defensive lineman Darrion Smith, who had been committed to Tennessee. Other signees include a mix of four- and three-star talent across various positions, including offensive line, defensive line, and tight end.
As of 10:00 a.m., Auburn has signed several recruits, including Jared Smith, Deuce Knight, Malik Autry, and others, while more commitments are expected later in the day. Auburn is also awaiting decisions from high-profile prospects like five-star Na’eem Offord and Ousmane Kromah, who may flip their commitments from Ohio State and Georgia, respectively.
