Auburn football may be in the midst of one of its best National Signing Days in program history, but the Tigers did miss out on inking a major recruit this morning. Four-star cornerback [autotag]Shamar Arnoux[/autotag], who committed to Auburn last month, flipped his commitment to Florida State on Wednesday.
A consensus top-60 cornerback in the 2025 cycle, Arnoux committed to join Auburn after committing from USC earlier this year. The Carrollton, Georgia native was ranked as the No. 53 prospect from the Peach State according to 247 Sports.
While the loss of Arnoux certainly stings for [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and his staff, Auburn’s 2025 class is still expected to finish among the best in the SEC, and the country, once National Signing Day comes to an end. The Tigers currently have five other defensive backs committed to join the Plains next season. Safeties [autotag]Anquon Fegans[/autotag] and [autotag]Eric Winters[/autotag] are officially on board, as both signed their letters of intent early on Wednesday morning.

As for Florida State, Arnoux marks the third defensive back to pledge his commitment to the Seminoles. The four-star recruit joins fellow four-star Zae Thomas and three-star safety Max Redmon as prospects set to play in Tallahassee next season.
