Auburn Beats Multiple Power Programs for 4-Star RB Kingston Miles

The Auburn Tigers 2027 Class just added another elite playmaker. 

Alex Golesh and the 2027 recruiting class continue to gain momentum, with the third player since the weekend committing to the Tigers. 

4-Star running back Kingston Miles from St. Louis, Missouri, has made his decision to play on the Plains next season out of St. Mary’s High School. He is listed as the 16th-best running back in the class and the 5th-best player across the state of Missouri according to Rivals. 

His recruitment decision comes as a slight surprise as he becomes the second running back to join the Tigers 2027 class along with another 4-star player Myson Johnson-Cook. Interestingly, both running backs are from the St. Louis Area. 

It's another huge recruiting win for Running Backs coach Larry Porter, as they were battling many power schools that offered Miles, including in-state Missouri, Alabama, Wisconsin, and Kansas State. 

During his official visit this weekend, Miles said, “It’s a great environment, great atmosphere, and great people. Everything is great at Auburn.” He is currently scheduled to take official visits to Alabama, Missouri, and Kansas State in June. It has not been reported whether he is completely shutting down his recruitment. 

The backfield in 2027 has the potential to be loaded as Miles is coming off a strong high school season. In his junior season last fall, he recorded 265 carries for 2,098 yards and 26 touchdowns. 

The new Auburn running back becomes the 12th player to commit to Alex Golesh and the Tigers. He will be the eighth offensive player in the class. He will join QB Gary Chatman, RB Myson Johnson-Cook, WR Brylan Oduor, TE George Lamons, OL Jaylon Moore, OL Rance Brown, OL Layton Von Brandt, DL Donivan Moore, LB Kareem Palmer, CB Nash Johnson III, and K Noah Ash.

The news is expected to continue flooding in for the 2027 class, as Alex Golesh teases that more announcements are on the way through his cryptic social media posts. It is expected that up to seven names (including Miles) have made their decision to head to the Plains to play their college ball.
