Auburn trending for 3-star defensive lineman Mailk Autry

Auburn is looking to keep the 2025 prospect home.

Auburn has done an excellent job of signing local recruits over the past few recruiting cycles and after the weekend, they are the favorite to land another one.

[autotag]Malik Autry[/autotag] is a sophomore at Opelika High School and a three-star defensive lineman in the 2025 recruiting class. He had a memorable time on Auburn’s campus for Junior Day, earning an offer from the Tigers.

While he is still years from signing, Auburn is Autry’s seventh offer. LSU, Georgia, Kentucky, and Michigan have also offered the 6-foot-5, 285-pound defender.

The Tigers offer made quite an impact on Autry and they are surging in his recruiting. Auburn Live’s Keith Niebuhr and Jeffrey Lee both casted predictions for the Tigers to land him. The predictions gave the Tigers a 99% chance to land him according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine.

In addition to being close to home, the Tigers could reunite Autry with his former high school teammate Brenton Williams, who signed with Auburn as a member of the 2023 recruiting class.

Auburn Football has added its’ third transfer of the weekend, and its’ second defensive lineman in as many days on Sunday with the commitment of former Purdue defensive tackle [autotag]Lawrence Johnson[/autotag].

Johnson joins former Maryland defensive lineman Mosiah Nasili-Kite as athletes to choose Auburn after spending just a few hours on campus. Johnson, who hails from Fort Wayne, Indiana, says that the weather and hospitality is what drew him to the Plains.

“The people here are good. You can just walk through the town and people will greet you just because they’re good people here” Johnson said in an interview with Auburn Undercover. “And it’s warm, I’m from Indiana, I don’t like the cold. I’ve been in the cold my whole life so I’m trying to get away from the cold.”

Johnson was a valuable asset to Purdue’s defensive front during his four seasons as a Boilermaker. He concluded his Purdue career with 88 total tackles and 2.5 sacks. He recorded 29 tackles and 1.5 sacks during the 2022 season. According to Pro Football Focus, he participated in 451 snaps this season, which is 12th-highest on the team.

Earlier Sunday, Auburn added former LSU linebacker DeMario Tolan to their transfer list, which brings the total incoming transfers to seven.
