When [autotag]Bryce Cain[/autotag] committed to Auburn he was a three-star prospect and one of their lowest-ranked commits.
That is no longer the case as 247Sports updated their rankings for the 2024 recruiting class and the speedy Cain made a massive jump, becoming a four-star prospect and moving all the way up to being the No. 237 overall player and No. 33 receiver.
The move makes him the No. 3 wide receiver in the state, trailing only five-star Auburn commit [autotag]Perry Thompson[/autotag] and five-star Texas A&M commit and Auburn target [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag].
When he picked Auburn back in June he was outside the top 1,000 players but a breakout senior season has revealed that Auburn found a hidden gem in the 5-foot-11, 170-pounder. In seven games for Baker High School Cain has caught 29 passes for 729 yards and twelve touchdowns.
Cain has all the makings of being a slot receiver once he makes it to the Plains due to his combination of size and speed making him a big-play threat whenever he touches the ball.
Not all of Auburn’s commits shot up the rankings as several made small moves up or down the rankings, here is a look at the three biggest movers outside of Cain.
- OL [autotag]Deandre Carter[/autotag]: No. 55 to No. 122
- RB [autotag]J’Marrion Burnette[/autotag]: No. 185 to No. 257
- CB [autotag]Jalyn Crawford[/autotag]: No. 159 to unranked
