Auburn’s Recruiting Momentum Faces Another Major Test This Weekend

The Auburn Tigers are coming off their most impressive weekend of the year on the recruiting trail, and the momentum is only beginning. 

After picking up 5 new commitments since the start of the weekend (with more rumored to be announced in the next few days), the Auburn Tigers are building a very impressive 2027 recruiting class, one that rivals those of other top programs in the SEC. 

And this upcoming weekend could be just as big. 

The team is hosting multiple recruits to the Plains this weekend, including players already committed to Alex Golesh and his first-year coaching staff at Auburn, as well as some big names who could announce their commitment as soon as this weekend. 

One name that stands out among those scheduled to be on campus this week is four-star offensive lineman Reed Ramsier. The Orlando, Florida, native has pushed his commitment decision to two teams after canceling his official visit to the Clemson Tigers last weekend. Ramsier is now down to the Auburn Tigers and the Texas Longhorns. 

At 6'5, 290 pounds, the interior offensive lineman is seen as the second-best IOL in the state of Florida. Composite industry rankings have him at an 89.85 score, seen as a high four-star, with one who could potentially add the fifth one this upcoming season. 

Ramsier is currently playing high school ball at First Academy in Orlando, Florida. 

Alex Golesh and the rest of his coaching staff will have to make a huge impression on Ramsier, as just one week later, he will take his official visit to the Texas Longhorns on June 19.  Ramsier and Auburn's Offensive line coach, Tyler Hudanick (Coach Hoodie), have had a relationship dating back to when the coaching staff was at USF. He and Coach Hoodie have stayed in contact and have helped surge his recruitment towards the Auburn Tigers, keeping them in the final two. 

Edge Rusher Marquis Evans is also an exciting name to keep an eye on this weekend. The 3-star from Birmingham, Alabama, from Spain Park High School currently has a 95% prediction for the Tigers according to Rivals.

Auburn is also set to host 5 players who are already committed to the Tigers for 2027. It is reported that RB Myson Johnson-Cook, DL Donivan Moore, LB Kareem Palmer, WR Brylan Oduor, and QB Gary Chatman will all be on the Plains this weekend, hopefully pushing some more players to join the class.
