[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] put Auburn recruiting back on the map with an impressive start to the early signing period.
The Tigers put an exclamation point on a successful first day by flipping 4-star defensive end Keldric Faulk from Florida State and 4-star cornerback Kayin Lee from Ohio State. The moves and the rest of the additions make Auburn one of the winners of the early signing period and have helped fill several holes on Auburn’s roster.
The Tigers signed 18 of their 19 commits and there is little reason to be worried about 4-star running back Jeremiah Cobb who did not sign.
They now have the No. 20 class in the 247Sports Composite team ranking and while that is lower than Auburn needs to be, with what Freeze inherited it is unfair to call it anything but a major success.
However, the SEC is the best conference in the sport for a reason and it starts with their recruiting. Here is a look at how Auburn’s class compares to the rest of the conference.
