He will be making his commitment on Feb. 1 and will be picking between Auburn, Kansas, Kentucky, UConn, UCLA, Seton Hall, and Ole Miss. The 5-foot-11, 160-pounder officially visited the Plains on Sept. 17, 2022, his only known official visit at this time.

The 6-foot-4, 245-pound Denaud is from Fort Pierce, Florida. While he is being recruited as an edge player by Auburn’s staff, he has the strength and size to also play inside to take advantage of mismatches.

He is the Tigers fifth commit of the 2023 recruiting class, joining four-star wide receiver Karmello English, four-star running back Jeremiah Cobb, four-star safety Terrance Love, and four-star interior offensive lineman Bradyn Joiner.
