Bookmark this page to gain easy access to the 2024 Auburn recruiting class that's helping to change the trajectory of the Tigers! Here’s the breakdown, by position, for Auburn's recruiting efforts.
Total Signees: 20
Quarterback: 1
Walker White
Walker White, 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, Little Rock (Ark.) Christian Academy - Signed
Committed Feb. 3, 2023
Prospect Evaluation for Walker White
Auburn Signs Quarterback Walker White
At 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, White is already college-ready size. It shows that White has a big arm. It’s all but effortless when he fires a pass down the field.
White’s ability to fire a bullet on the run is also a prime attribute. He’s mobility allows him to flourish in the run-pass option game, as well as when he decides to just tuck the football and take off. He will fit in well into Freeze’s offensive scheme.
Wide Receiver: 4
Bryce Cain, 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, Mobile (Ala.) Baker - Signed
Committed June 13, 2023
Prospect Evaluation for Bryce Cain
Bryce Cain officially signs with the Auburn Tigers
Elusive, explosive, and dynamic. Those categories augment a competitive nature for Cain. He's best known for short-area quickness and juke moves; do not forget that he can also take the football away from defenders when he goes up for the football. He shows that skill several times over from his prep highlights.
Cain's body positioning and ability to time when he reaches for the football are tremendous. He's going to likely be a slot receiver, but also one that Freeze and his staff can move to the outside receiver position as well.
Cam Coleman
Cam Coleman, 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, Phenix City (Ala.) Central - Signed
Committed Dec. 1, 2023
Four Reasons To Like Cam Coleman's Commitment To Auburn
Prospect Evaluation For Cam Coleman
Cam Coleman officially signs with the Auburn Tigers
Cam Coleman Discusses Auburn's WR Recruits | Video
Playmaker. Coleman catches passes in traffic; takes the football away from defensive backs; Coleman makes defenders miss in tight spaces; possesses the speed to be a consistent vertical threat.
With all of Coleman's talents in mind, his measurables also create problems. Too tall for the majority of defensive backs, with the football in his hands, he is twitchy during one-on-one situations. Coleman will demand a high number of double teams.
With Coleman on the field, combined with the rest of this outstanding 2024 Auburn wide receiver class, the Tigers can dictate to opposing defenses. The true offense that Freeze wants to run can start to take shape.
Malcolm Simmons, 6-foot, 165 pounds, Alexander City (Ala.) Benjamin Russell School - Signed
Committed July 29, 2023
Prospect Evaluation for Malcolm Simmons
Malcolm Simmons officially signs with the Auburn Tigers
A wide receiver that separates from defenders in the open field. Simmons is a player who will add yet another layer of playmaking ability to the Tigers' offense. His ability to catch the football is natural, and he's also instinctive and creative with using his vision to find the crease in the defense to create big plays. Also a possible punt return man for the Tigers.
Perry Thompson
Perry Thompson, 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Foley (Ala.) High School - Signed
Committed July 29, 2023

Video: Perry Thompson Documentary
A true No. 1 wide receiver candidate stemming from Thompson's natural size, strength, speed, and ability to be physical. He can make a poor throw a big gain; 50-50 balls are likely to be Auburn first downs.
Seeing a young man, of Thompson's size, move in and out of the defense, is fun to watch. Out of all the players in Auburn's 2024 recruiting class, Thompson likely possesses the greatest chance to come to the Plains and start before the conclusion of his freshman season.
Offensive Line: 3
DeAndre Carter
DeAndre Carter, 6-foot-4, 340 pounds, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei - Signed
Committed Sep. 3, 2023
Prospect Evaluation for DeAndre Carter
DeAndre Carter has signed with the Auburn Tigers
Road grader. That’s the easiest way to define Carter’s style of play. Another way to define him would be the hammer hitting the nail. Carter's 340-pound frame is indicative of what Auburn offensive line coach Jake Thornton needs to help kickstart Auburn’s rushing attack into another gear.
Here’s the unique part, however. Carter is agile enough to play right tackle if truly needed. His lateral ability is quite impressive. Hard to not see Carter being a starter before the end of his sophomore season despite it being hard for young offensive linemen to break into the lineup, traditionally speaking.
Favour Edwin, 6-foot-6, 295 pounds, McDonough (Ga.) Eagle's Landing Christian Academy - Signed
Committed Dec. 20, 2023
Auburn football signs three-star OT Favour Edwin
After playing for one of Georgia's best prep football programs, Edwin comes to the plains as a pure offensive tackle. His natural length, broad shoulders, and ability to bend at the knees make him a likely future starter along Auburn's front wall.
Discussing his technique, Edwin's lateral quickness stands out. He's especially adept at blocking during an outside zone play where he gains the outside edge and moves a defender backward against his will.
Edwin's patience as a pass-blocker deserves praise as well. His calculated movements and timely use of his hands help him seal the edge. Auburn has a future offensive tackle with a lot of ability now and his upside is also something to consider.
Yes, Edwin's frame is 295 pounds. He could be 325 pounds in a year or so. He has a powerful lower body but there's still room for more weight from his waist to Edwin's upper chest. There's a lot to like about Edwin.
Seth Wilfred, Offensive Tackle, 6-foot-6, 295 pounds, Las Vegas (Nev.) / Snow Junior College (Utah) - Signed
Committed Dec. 11, 2023
Seth Wilfred Signs With Auburn Tigers
Heavy hands define Wilfred. When he strikes an opposing player, that player is going to move against his will. Wilfred is not just a mauler either. Before delivering a blow he shows good foot quickness and the hand-eye coordination necessary to maximize his chances of creating a great block.
His Snow Junior College freshman film also shows a player who can move to the second level and take on linebackers who want to avoid him altogether. Wilfred does not get out over his feet and lunge. He's calculated with his movements.
Seeing him run in open space during a screen pass is another tremendous measuring stick for this young man. He's agile in space and leads the way for his running back with surprising speed.
He will have three more years of college football available, and Wilfred could also potentially redshirt to provide a total of four years to play three for Auburn.
Defensive End: 3
TJ Lindsey
TJ Lindsey, 6-foot-3, 270 pounds, Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy - Signed
Committed Aug. 12, 2023
Prospect Evaluation for TJ Lindsey
Auburn signs four-star DL TJ Lindsey
Possesses excellent hands to fend off offensive linemen. Lindsey also showcases some of the best moves of any defensive line recruit from the class of 2024. No doubt, he’s utilizing the coaching that’s coming his way.
Lindsey also has the frame to play 3-technique or strong side end, i.e. 5-technique. Depending on down and distance, and game situation, Auburn can move Lindsey into different positions to best utilize his skills. Look for him to be a player that is more than just a big body. Lindsey can rush the passer.
Do not be surprised if Lindsey ends up contributing to the 2024 Auburn football team.
Joseph Phillips, 6-foot-2, 250 pounds, Tuskegee (Ala.) Booker T. Washington - Signed
Committed June 15, 2023
Three Takeaways: Jordan Phillips' Senior Film
Joseph Phillips officially signs with the Auburn Tigers
Natural edge rusher. Phillips plays fast from a 7-technique and creates pressure on quarterbacks. Also good at timing a blitz from the interior when playing linebacker, Phillips has the tenacity to fend off a much bigger offensive lineman and chase the quarterback down from behind. He can be utilized in a multitude of ways for Auburn, but his primary objective will be playing on the edge and creating havoc.
As Phillips gains more knowledge of the Auburn playbook, look for him to used in different packages like nickel and dime. He can be a stand-up outside linebacker and get after the quarterback, but he's gifted enough to also drop into coverage and defend the flat.
Amaris Williams, 6-foot-2, 265 pounds, Clinton (N.C.) High School - Signed
Committed Dec. 20, 2023
RECRUITING: Did Auburn's Recruiting Class Help Close The Gap With Alabama And Georgia?
Amaris Williams Signs With The Auburn Tigers!
As versatile as a 2024 defensive line recruit as there is, Williams' athleticism stands out in many ways. He's gifted enough that Clinton High School's offensive game plan utilizes Williams as a win back, running back, and even a wildcat running back.
There's a play where Williams is running down the right sideline and uses his quickness to turn around a defender who's probably about 100 pounds lighter than himself. At 265 pounds, he's about as rare as it gets. When Williams plays defense, he's also a defender who makes plays from a variety of positions.
He plays a stand-up defensive end position, takes snaps as a traditional defensive end, and has the frame to grow into a defensive tackle – even if only for pass-rushing situations – while a member of the Tigers.
No matter where he's playing, Williams showcases his power and raw physical skills over and over. He's so gifted that his senior film is a blast to watch over and over. Williams is an elite talent and should help the Auburn football program as a true freshman.
Defensive Tackle: 1
Malik Blocton
Malik Blocton, 6-foot-4, 280 pounds, Pike Road (Ala.) High School - Signed
Committed July 8, 2023
Interview: Auburn DL Commit Malik Blocton
Can Malik Blocton Make An Immediate Impact?
Malik Blocton officially signs with Auburn
With his natural size, he’s a future 3-technique for the Tigers. The skills are present for him to be a menace as well. Strong hands at the point of attack. To that point, Blocton will shock an opposing offensive lineman with two hands to the breastplate, find the ball carrier, and then use his athleticism to make a tackle for loss.
Blocton’s power is something that will aid him in competing for playing time earlier than many interior defensive line recruits entering the SEC. Going against top Birmingham competition, his film showcases Blocton moving offensive linemen into the backfield and/or out of his way.
Linebacker: 3
D’Angelo Barber, 6-foot, 220 pounds, Pinson (Ala.) Clay-Chalkville - Signed
Committed July 3, 2023
D'Angelo Barber officially signs with the Auburn Tigers
Barber has an old-school feel to his game. Loves to mix it up with interior offensive linemen before scraping off the blocks and finding the running back. From one perspective, he fits what many Auburn fans grew up watching during the Bo Jackson era. What also makes Barber valuable for the spread football era is his ability to run to the perimeter and be a solid pass defender.
Many middle linebackers fail at this crucial duty. Barbers’ frame already looks like he's seen ample time in the weight room and he should at least be a special teams candidate as a true freshman for the Tigers.
Demarcus Riddick
Demarcus Riddick, 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, Clanton (Ala.) Chilton County - Signed
Committed July 26, 2023
Prospect Evaluation for Demarcus Riddick
Demarcus Riddick officially signs with Auburn
A tremendously gifted athlete, Riddick will primarily play linebacker for the Tigers despite the physical tools to be any one of a big-bodied outside wide receiver, flex tight end, or even a running back.
No question, he could be an edge rusher as well. His film even showcases him returning a punt for a score. He’s often the quickest player on the field despite being well over 200 pounds. Those points help define why Riddick is just an incredible football player. Still, there's more.
Riddick’s instincts as a pass defender are elite. He has Sunday ability if he continues to hone his craft as a linebacker because of the natural athleticism that goes along with those instincts. Riddick certainly has a chance to be an instant-impact freshman for the Tigers.
Jamonta Waller
Jamonta Waller, 6-foot-1, 240 pounds, Picayune (Miss.) Picayune Memorial - Signed
Committed Nov. 11, 2023
Auburn Briefing: Jamonta Waller is 'not just a pass rusher
Jamonta Waller officially signs with Auburn
A natural pass rusher off the edge, Jamonta Waller is also a prospect who can play as a traditional linebacker. That's why he's listed at this spot instead of defensive end.
Sure, Waller will be on the line and in a 2-point or 3-point stance and go after the signal caller. He's much more than just a downhill pass rusher, however.
Waller uses his hands and feet in coordination with one another to fend off interior offensive linemen during running plays, he tracks down mobile quarterbacks from behind and in the open field. He's able to play in coverage, unlike most edge rushers. Waller is a big-time player and it's huge for Freeze and his staff to have flipped him from the Florida Gators.
Cornerback: 2
Jalyn Crawford
Jalyn Crawford, 6-foot, 180 pounds, Lilburn (Ga.) Parkview - Signed
Committed July 15, 2023
Parkview High School's Jalyn Crawford Signs With Auburn Tigers
In terms of natural cornerback skills, overall, Crawford is one of the nation’s most well-rounded. He's twitchy while moving as he comes out of his backpedal; plants one foot to immediately change directions.
The downhill speed to break on comeback and curl routes is evident. Crawford also demonstrates good leaping ability. As for his frame, that’s more good news. Crawford’s arm length allows him to deflect passes many cornerbacks simply cannot reach. Look for Crawford to work his way into the rotation no later than his sophomore year, and he holds a chance to be a multi-year starter for Auburn.
A’Mon Lane, 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, Moody (Ala.) High School - Signed
July 30, 2023
A'Mon Lane Signs With Auburn Tigers
Lane plays cornerback with a strong safety mentality. He’s a downhill striker who plays nickel cornerback or outside cornerback. Regardless of where he’s lining up, Lane does his most outstanding work when he’s in bump-and-run coverage. Turns and runs with fluidity as a coverage man.
Even versus larger wide receivers or even tight ends, Lane’s ability to play through the intended target when the football arrives allows him to get pass breakups. Perhaps his best attribute is playing the run. Whether blitzing or fending off a blocker to reach a running back, Lane is ultra-aggressive near the line of scrimmage and enjoys contact.
Safety: 3
Kensley Faustin, 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, Naples (Fla.) High School - Signed
Committed June 13, 2023
Kensley Faustin Signs With Auburn Tigers
Auburn is gaining a defensive back with the ability to play any of free safety, nickel, or even cornerback with Faustin. He’s most often playing a single-high safety spot for Naples High so that's why he's listed with the safety position.
That's where he does a tremendous job of running to the play and creating interceptions and pass breakups. The key is Faustin’s initial ability to examine the play quickly, and then use his natural open-field speed. He’s also a bump-and-run candidate from the slot or out wide. Faustin has legitimate cornerback skills. It will be interesting to see how Auburn's coaching staff utilizes Faustin’s skills throughout his time on the Plains.
Kaleb Harris, 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson - Signed
Committed Oct. 23, 2023
Prospect Evaluation for Kaleb Harris
Kaleb Harris Signs With Auburn Tigers
Hard-hitting safety that does well from the deep secondary or in the box. Playing for Thompson, one of the state of Alabama's best prep programs, it's obvious Harris understands the nuances of how and when to attack the football in the air.
He's also adept at taking proper angles to the football to limit an opponent's yardage. A smart football player, one could argue that Harris possesses more polish to his game than most other prep safeties across the country. He's rarely out of position and understands his role well. Look for him to make at least an impact with the Tigers as a special teams player next fall, if not challenge for a spot on the two-deep at safety.
Laquan Robinson, 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, Greenville (Ala.) High School / Goodman (Miss.) Holmes Community College - Signed
Committed Nov. 10, 2023
Auburn Tigers Sign Holmes Community College Safety Laquan Robinson
Even as a sophomore in high school, Laquan Robinson's film makes it clear that he's a striker. The further one delves into this young man's past, the more clear it becomes that he loves physical contact. He's been that way long before his prep career came to a close. Now 10 pounds heavier, far stronger, and most certainly a wiser football player after spending two seasons at the junior college level, Robinson's abilities are heightened.
He's twitchy enough to play free safety. Robinson's penchant for physical contact likely dictates that he plays in the box for the Tigers, however. Blitzing, helping in run support, and playing downhill overall would be areas he's best suited to do. Do not be shocked if Robinson plays some nickel either. He has the cover skills to do so. He's an excellent pickup for the Tigers at a position where Auburn definitely needs veterans to join the 2024 roster.
