Auburn briefing: Tigers pick up a pair of 2024 recruits

Auburn got two commitments towards their 2024 class yesterday.

Three-star wide receiver Bryce Cain has chosen Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers over Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss.

One thing that stood out about Cain's reps at Auburn's camp was that he was quickly building a connection with quarterback commit Walker White. These two could be a one-two punch on the Plains for years to come.

They also got a commitment from Kensley Faustin, a four-star safety.

Faustin becomes the third defensive back to be added to the 2024 class. Unlike A'mon Lane and Jayden Lewis, Kensley projects to be a safety at the next level. He showed skill in his freshman and sophomore seasons where he played both wide receiver and safety but following his sophomore season he has been on the defensive side of the ball. The hands of a receiver make him quite the ball hawk in the back end of the defense.

He's back with list that seems to be getting mixed reviews.

BGB released his list of "college fanbases that are exactly alike." There are some that make sense - Oregon and Miami, Nebraska and Tennessee, Clemson and Arkansas, Vanderbilt and Northwestern to name a few.
