Malik Autry talked about the "family environment" at Big Cat Weekend

Malik Autry is a four-star defensive lineman from Opelika, Alabama.

Autry is six-foot-six and weighs 280-pounds.

He is currently Auburn's only commit in the 2025 class and has been committed since February 1st, 2023.

Autry recently joined the Locked On Auburn Podcast and was asked about his experience at Big Cat Weekend.

Here was his response, "Oh, it was great. I got there early, about 10:30. I met with Hugh Freeze. That's probably my first time sitting out in his office. I committed at such a weird time. It was like February 1st; then, I came back in March for his spring practice. I never really got a chance to sit down with him. So big Cat weekend started out great. I sat down with him, had a good conversation just about me and him and how we're going to build this connection because on August 1st, you know, you can start communicating. So since August 1st, I've been communicating with him back and forth a lot, all the coaches in general. And then, you know, seeing all my, you know, you meet these different guys at different visits though when you start back in like eighth grade. So we all have a relationship, you know, seeing them, and everybody had a great time. They did a great job setting it up, you know, with the golf carts, the scavenger hunt, the pool party, it was all meant to have fun. I feel like it brought everybody together. You know, you talk about football and meetings and still a lot at every visit. So I feel like that was a great time to have everybody out there just having fun, like just forgetting the football part of it, but actually seeing what it's like to be in Auburn, you know, having them in the pool, the players, coaching, you know, throwing Freeze in the pool. It just seems like one big family."

I love hearing that Coach Freeze is creating a good family environment on the Plains, and it really seems like all the players had a good time at Big Cat Weekend.

Hopefully, some more talented players in the 2025 class will be joining Autry soon. I believe that Coach Freeze is going to put together a magical class in 2025.
