This weekend, Auburn will roll out the red carpet for its most crucial targets for Big Cat Weekend.
This weekend, [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and his staff will host several notable recruits. Among those names are those who have already committed and those who are pledged elsewhere. There will also be a special case for one recruit: trying to win him back.
[autotag]Tyler Lockhart[/autotag], a four-star linebacker from Winona, Mississippi, is scheduled to return to the Plains this weekend after backing off his pledge to Auburn last month.
Lockhart has not joined another recruiting class since de-committing from Auburn, but it is heavily speculated that he is heading to Mississippi State to join his brother, 2024 signee TJ Lockhart. On3 has given the Bulldogs a 93.7% chance to land Lockhart while three 247Sports recruiting experts have given Mississippi State a crystal ball in favor of Lockhart.
Lockhart becomes the next target for Auburn to sway this weekend. Four-star safety [autotag]Anquon Fegans[/autotag] and four-star EDGE [autotag]Jared Smith[/autotag], both from Thompson High School in Alabaster, will announce their commitments shortly after Big Cat Weekend. Could Lockhart join them by reaffirming his pledge?
