Of all of AUburn's 2027 commits, which future Tigers are the most interesting?
Alex Golesh's first recruiting class of his tenure will be viewed as an important one. Over the past few weeks, the Auburn Tigers 2027 class has picked up some momentum.
On our first weekly Auburn Roundtable, we will discuss Auburn's 2027 commits, which positions on Auburn's roster continue to stand out, and if Auburn baseball has done enough to earn a national seed. For this week's guest on the Auburn Roundtable, we are joined by Auburn Podcaster Darrell Dapprich, along with the crew here at the Auburn Roundtable.
Which Auburn commit intrigues you the most so far in the 2027 class?
Christian Rauh: The more I dive into linebacker Kareem Palmer, the more I'm not surprised that he just recently added his fourth star. The Tombs County defensive player has been clocked at 4.38 for the 40 yard dash when at UA Next Charlotte camp earlier this year. His film from his junior season of high school shows plenty of potential, especially as a sticky tackler and bringing down his opponents in open space.
Zac Blackerby: There are several great options here. I'll go with Donivan Moore, the in-state defensive lineman from Bessemer. He's a great player at a crucial position and I think he's sliding under the radar a little bit because he committed so early. He's a big part of this class.
Michael Brauner: Without a doubt, Layton Von Brandt. Alex Golesh went into the north and stole a star offensive tackle who was bound for Notre Dame, I don’t think you can understate how impressive that is. If the Tigers can hold onto him until signing day, we’ll be looking back at this as one of the most significant early victories of the Golesh era.
Darrell Dapprich: Quarterback Gary Chatman Jr. His upside is great and he will be a fast riser. Will get more offers.
What position are you most eager to see in 2026?
CR: I'm going to have to go with the wide receiver position just because there is so much turnover from last year's roster. I'm excited to see players like Jeremiah Koger, Keyshaun Singleton, and Chas Nimrod prove a ton of people wrong in this conference.
ZB: Offensive line. I think how they perform can make or break this season. I think the tools are there, the starting five needs to get healthy and the younger guys need to get ready for the SEC as quickly as possible.
MB: Maybe it’s a little bit obvious here, but for me it’s quarterback. The Payton Thorne and Jackson Arnold experiments failed epically and really are the main reason why Hugh Freeze is gone. Byrum Brown enters with obvious familiarity and production in the system, so seeing how it translates to the SEC is what I’m looking forward to most this season
DD: QB. it has been the reason Auburn has lost games the last three or four years. Auburn needs somebody to go out and win them a game.
Is Auburn baseball a national seed or do they have more to prove in the sec tournament?
CR: If Auburn's not a national seed, we should riot. This team has easily the best resume in all of college baseball. Now that they are guaranteed to not go one and done in the conference tournament, they have done more than enough to be deserving of a top eight seed when regionals come along next week.
ZB: I said going into the SEC Tournament, regardless if Auburn wins the whole thing or is one and done, they deserve to be a national seed. The win against LSU doesn't hurt, but Auburn has already done enough.
MB: Auburn does not have anything left to prove, it would be an absolute shock to me if they weren’t a national seed.
DD: They are a lock for a national seed. Predict they will be #6.
