Can Auburn pull off the Highland Home trifecta?

Hugh Freeze has swayed brothers Keldric and Jakaleb Faulk to pledge to Auburn. Can he convince four-star EDGE CJ May to do the same?

The 2022 Highland Home Flying Squadron had one of the best defenses in small-school Alabama football last season thanks to the efforts of three stout defenders.

If you were to combine the average heights and weights of [autotag]Keldric Faulk[/autotag], [autotag]Jakaleb Faulk[/autotag], and [autotag]CJ May[/autotag]…. you would get a 6-4, 231-pound dual-threat beast.

As the calendar turns to 2023, Keldric Faulk is on Auburn’s campus and Jakaleb Faulk has announced his intention to come to Auburn. However, May is enjoying the fact that his recruitment is starting to unfold.

May is a four-star EDGE from the 2025 class and will have two more seasons to compete alongside Jakaleb Faulk on the high school level. Last week, May included Auburn in his top ten.

In a recent interview with Jason Caldwell of 247Sports, May says that he is impressed at how quickly [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] has changed the outlook of Auburn football.

“They’ve definitely turned the whole program around,” May said. “I love everything about the whole staff, especially coach (Jeremy) Garrett and coach (Vontrell King-Williams). Those are my guys. It’s more of a brother connection than a coach connection. I have a great thing with them.”

May says that he is taking his time with his recruitment, and does not have a timetable for committing to a program. However, On3 has forecasted a 25.6% chance that Auburn lands him. He plans to make a few visits to the Plains this season as well.
