    Auburn seems to finally be picking up some momentum on the recruiting trail.

    The Tigers haven't struggled to pull in talent (as all of their current 2023 commitments have a composite four-star rating), but they have struggled to get bodies in the room.

    At least, thus far.

    Auburn picked up two commitments during Big Cat Weekend and are poised to earn a commitment form Nebraska decommit Ashley Williams and potentially flip four-star offensive tackle Bo Hughley from Georgia.

    Until those two things happen, or the Tigers pick up another commitment, here is what the current 2023 recruiting class looks like

    May it be noted that while Auburn ranks dead last in the SEC on all three major recruiting services in terms of overall class rating (because of the lack of commitments), their average recruit rating is pretty solid (No. 15 nationally on 247Sports, No. 13 on On3, and No. 2 on Rivals).
