2025 five-star receiver recruit and current Alabama Crimson Tide commit [autotag]Caleb Cunningham[/autotag] is scheduled to visit the Plains this weekend according to a report from Auburn Live.
The consensus top 25 recruit and top receiver from Mississippi committed to Alabama back in July of this year, but showed heavy interest in Auburn before making his decision a few months ago.
The 6-1, 190-pound receiver has taken three trips down to the Loveliest Village on the Plains during his recruitment process, most recently speaking with [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and the Auburn staff in person on May 31 of this year. While the No. 3 receiver in his class hasn’t shown any indication of flipping his commitment, he did make it a point to tell On3 that “he would be in Auburn this weekend” for the Tigers SEC opener against Arkansas.
It’s also worth noting that Cunningham’s current commitment choice, Alabama, is off on a bye week this weekend. The Crimson Tide do host No. 1 ranked Georgia on September 28, and the prized recruit is likely to be back in Tuscaloosa for that matchup, although he has not confirmed it.
Auburn currently holds a consensus top 5 recruiting class for this upcoming campaign. That ranking could increase drastically if the Tigers staff is somehow able to pull a rabbit out of the hat and convince Cunningham to flip his commitment this weekend.
Newly named starting quarterback [autotag]Hank Brown[/autotag] and the Tigers open up SEC play on Saturday against Arkansas at 2:30 PM CT from Jordan-Hare Stadium. A win to open the conference section of the schedule would not only help this season but could help some recruits on the edge commit to Hugh Freeze’s plan for the Tigers down the road.
