Recruiting for the class of 2025 is in full swing under the guidance of head coach Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers. Since his arrival, Freeze has been committed to strengthening the team’s offensive and defensive lines, and he is making strides in achieving this goal with the current recruiting class.

There’s positive momentum surrounding the recruitment of 4-star offensive tackle Broderick Shull from Bixby, Oklahoma. Shull visited Auburn in March and has scheduled an official visit for June. According to Chad Simmons of On3 Sports, Auburn football is in a favorable position with Shull.

“Auburn’s prospects are looking promising in Shull’s recruitment. They meet numerous criteria important not only to him but also to his family. Shull is impressed by the coaching staff, the community, and the people associated with the Auburn program. Additionally, his father, who works as an engineer, has connections to a professor on campus, further enhancing Auburn’s appeal. As official visits approach, Auburn appears to be the frontrunner. While Texas Tech initially extended an offer to Shull, it seems that Texas A&M is emerging as Auburn’s primary competitor for his commitment at this stage.”

Former Miami edge sets an official visit with Auburn football

Meanwhile, the coaching staff is actively exploring the transfer portal in search of talented players to enhance the 2024 roster. Among these prospects is former Miami edge player Nyjalik Kelly, who is anticipated to visit Auburn football this week.

According to AL.com’s Matt Zenitz, Kelly is currently on a visit to UCF and has plans for a subsequent visit to Missouri. Originally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Kelly was a highly regarded 4-star prospect out of high school and committed to Miami as part of the class of 2022. During his two seasons with the Hurricanes, he accumulated 19 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and four sacks.
