Auburn is building its 2025 recruiting class through the trenches with five of their eight commits playing along the offensive or defensive line. While it’s a great start, they are far from done, and offensive line coach [autotag]Jake Thornton[/autotag] will be hosting a key in-state target this weekend in [autotag]Mal Waldrep[/autotag].
Waldrep has already taken three visits to the Plains, including watching the Tigers play in the Iron Bowl. Thornton and the Tigers offered him a scholarship back in April 2023 and he has been a top target ever since.
He is the No. 442 overall player and No. 39 offensive tackle in the 247Sports composite ranking. The 6-foot-5, 290-pounder is also the No. 19 player from Alabama.
[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and Auburn have focused on keeping the state’s best players home in the 2025 recruiting cycle, landing commitments from five of the state’s top 22 players.
