The touted Rivals250 receiver from the Peach State is a Seminoles legacy and has been back to Tallahassee on a few instances since giving Auburn his commitment.

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH AUBURN FANS AT Gibson was one of the first commitments for Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide – committing on Christmas Eve after his junior season and returning to Tuscaloosa on several visits since his declaration. The speedy blue-chip corner is an Ole Miss legacy and returned to Oxford over the weekend for an official. Auburn and Tennessee both are swinging away at Gibson in this one, too. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH ALABAMA FANS AT Harris gave Auburn a commitment last summer during a colossal Big Cat Weekend. Nearly a year later, the Tigers are working to hold onto the in-state Rivals250 edge defender, who has made a string of visits to Tennessee and more recently Florida.

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH AUBURN FANS AT Keys has logged official visits to Miami and Texas A&M over the past two weekends – with trips back to Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss and LSU all on the horizon. The No. 1 WR in the Rivals250 out of Hattiesburg (Miss.) High gave Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers an early commitment this spring. He will make his final official visit to Baton Rouge on June 20 before finalizing his college plans. Miami remains in pursuit of Keys, along with Alabama, Auburn and Ole Miss. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH LSU FANS AT Tennessee landed a commitment from Sneed nearly a year ago, and the Vols have been working to hold onto the Rivals250 pass-catcher since. Sneed has made visits around the country this offseason with Ole Miss and Florida making it a tight race with Tennessee at the top of this recruitment. Advertisement Ole Miss made a big move during its official visit on May 30 weekend and Florida gets Sneed back to The Swamp on June 13. The Vols have the last crack at Sneed before he finalizes his plans. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH TENNESSEE FANS AT

Auburn football locks in official visit with LSU pledge Tristen Keys
Auburn football locks in official visit with LSU pledge Tristen Keys Will Auburn flip the nation's No. 1 wide receiver from LSU? Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze is known for his ability to flip top talent away from other programs, and he will attempt to work his magic this June when he welcomes the nation's No. 1 wide receiver for an official visit. Despite his pledge to LSU, five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys will take an official visit to Auburn beginning June 10, according to a report by Steve Wiltfong of On3. Keys spent last weekend at Miami, and will visit Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas A&M this month in addition to Auburn. Keys last visited Auburn during Big Cat Weekend in April, and came away impressed with fellow Mississippian Deuce Knight's ability to "flip it." During a visit in January, Keys complimented Auburn's energy, which keeps the Tigers in the hunt. 'The coaches and the environment is great,' Keys said. 'It gets loud. That is something I would like as a receiver. I enjoy the coaches. Coach Davis and Coach Freeze they're my guys. They're very energetic. Coach Freeze is around a bunch of young coaches and the energy it fits me. What they're doing for Auburn is great." Auburn's energy and his relationships with Freeze and Davis keep Auburn in the mix, but how likely is it that he will flip from LSU? Keys says that he is "locked-in" with LSU due mostly to their established supremacy in wide receiver development. Still, the door remains open for Freeze to sway his decision away from Baton Rouge during the official visit. Keys is the top-ranked wide receiver from the 2026 cycle according to On3, 247Sports, and ESPN, and ranks as high as No. 4 in the class ranking.

Five-star safety Jireh Edwards sets commitment date, Auburn named a finalist
Auburn football has recruited Maryland well recently, specifically St. Frances Academy in Baltimore. Four players on Auburn's 2025 roster, including UConn transfer running back Durell Robinson and true freshman cornerback Blake Woodby are proud alumni of St. Frances, and three-star safety Wayne Henry has already pledged to Auburn's 2026 class. Despite landing many former players of the Maryland football power, Auburn still wants more. Advertisement St. Frances safety Jireh Edwards revealed this week that he will announce his commitment on July 5, and Auburn is in the mix. The five-star safety will choose between Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, Florida, and Texas A&M after his rounds of official visits that will conclude at Oregon on June 19. Edwards visited Auburn during Big Cat Weekend in April and came away pleased with the environment of campus and the style of play defensive coordinator DJ Durkin produces. He also cited the impact that his former high school teammates have on his decision. 'It's really important for my decision,' Edwards said in an interview with On3. 'I would never think the guys like Blake Woodby, Bryce Deas, Durell Robinson, Darrion Smith would ever lead me wrong. They're good guys and I definitely look up to them.' Edwards is a five-star safety by On3, 247Sports, and Rivals, and ranks as high as the No. 2 safety in the country for the 2026 cycle. His teammate, Wayne Henry, is Auburn's lone defensive back commit at this point of the recruiting cycle.
