The 2025 recruiting cycle is still in its early stages and Auburn is off to a great start by signing several talented athletes.
Before the calendar flips to June, Auburn has a top-10 class, according to rankings from 247Sports and On3. Auburn’s top prospect, defensive lineman Malik Autry, recently received a fifth star from 247Sports. Auburn not only added talented recruits to its class, but also addressed several needs along the offensive and defensive lines. Auburn’s early strategy impressed ESPN’s Craig Haubert.
Haubert recently analyzed ESPN’s top recruiting classes for the 2025 session and is pleased with Auburn’s performance on both lines. The Tigers have earned the commitment of three of the best defensive linemen in the class in Autry, Jourdin CrawfordIt is Jakaleb Faulkwhich plays a big role its ranking in 8th place.
Auburn has three ESPN 300 defensive linemen on the board: Crawford, Jakaleb Faulk and Malik Autry. Crawford is a burly 300-pound fighter who stands out because he moves very well for his size. Faulk is an advanced player with length, quickness and the ability to redirect. Autry is another 300-pound fighter who is a big, aggressive presence in the trenches.
Auburn will lose several offensive linemen next season, including transfer Dillon Wade. Hugh Freeze and his team are in a great position to rebuild thanks to the promise of the four-star Tavaris Data It is Carde Smith.
The Tigers also added several big men to their offensive line unit, including Dice and ESPN 300 state prospect Carde Smith. Both are physically impressive strikers with good flexibility and strength.
