Malcolm Simmons is officially an Auburn Tiger.

[autotag]Malcolm Simmons[/autotag] is officially an Auburn Tiger.

The dynamic athlete signed his letter of intent with Auburn on Wednesday as a key member of Auburn’s impressive haul at wide receiver. The Tigers have signed five-stars [autotag]Perry Thompson[/autotag] and [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag] with four-star [autotag]Bryce Cain[/autotag] expected to be announced soon.

When Simmons committed to Auburn in July he was a three-star athlete but after a great season for Benjamin Russell and a strong showing at the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic, he shot up the ranking and is now a four-star prospect.

The 6-foot, 175-pounder caught 60 passes for 1,279 yards and 14 touchdowns in 12 games as a senior.

He is now the No. 240 overall player and No. 41 wide receiver in the 247Sports Composite ranking. The Alexander City product is also the No. 15 player in Alabama.

Five-star wide receiver Cam Coleman signs letter of intent with Auburn

Five-star wide receiver Cam Coleman has signed with the Auburn Tigers

The Auburn Tigers have secured their highest-rated wide receiver recruit in program history.

The No. 1 rated high-school prospect in Alabama and No. 6 rated prospect nationally, Cameron Coleman, has officially signed his letter of intent to take his talents to Auburn this summer.

The highly-touted wide receiver had verbally committed to rival Texas A&M last year, but coaching changes along with newfound life at Auburn led the Alabama native to ultimately change his mind.

Coleman is an absolute superstar on the football field and will immediately slot in as the top option for either [autotag]Payton Thorne[/autotag] or freshman [autotag]Walker White[/autotag] on the Auburn offense.

In his senior season for Central High School in Phenix City, AL, the 6-foot-3 wideout averaged 105.5 yards per game. He collected 1,372 yards total, scoring a team-high 18 touchdowns over 13 games.

Most importantly, Coleman helped lead his team to a State Championship just a few weeks ago. The receiver found the end zone on a long catch-and-run in that game as well.

The Coleman signing officially gives Auburn it’s best wide receiver class of all time. Coleman, [autotag]Perry “Uno” Thompson[/autotag], and [autotag]Bryce Cain[/autotag] all rank in the top 30 nationally and should immediately step in as the top weapons alongside tight end [autotag]Rivaldo Fairweather [/autotag] on Auburn’s offense.

Thompson and Cain should have fantastic careers at Auburn, but the prize all offseason has been a commitment from [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag]. Hugh Freeze finally got it on Wednesday.

It's official, @CamColeman12 is a @AuburnFootball Tiger! #News3NSD23 @WRBLSports pic.twitter.com/UqMTXVy2eX

Auburn 5-star WR target Ryan Williams reclassifies to 2024

Auburn and Hugh Freeze have been pushing to flip the elite wide receiver.

After plenty of speculation, five-star Alabama wide receiver commit and key Auburn target [autotag]Ryan Williams[/autotag] has reclassified from the 2025 class to the 2024 class.

Despite jumping up a cycle, he is still one of the top players in the country. 247Sports ranks him as the No. 14 overall prospect and No. 4 wide receiver. The Saraland product is also the No. 3 player from Alabama in the 2024 rankings.

It’s easy to see why he has been such a big priority from wide receivers coach [autotag]Marucs Davis[/autotag], Williams was named the Alabama Gatorade Player of the Year and voted Mr. Football as a sophomore. In three varsity seasons, he accounted for over 4,400 all-purpose yards and 71 total touchdowns.

He will not sign in the early signing period later the month and instead will wait until February, giving himself a chance to take several visits. He told Auburn Undercover’s Christian Clemente that he plans to visit Auburn, Alabama, Texas, Georgia and LSU.

Auburn has already built one of if not the best wide receivers hauls in the country, having commitments from five-stars [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag] and [autotag]Perry Thompson[/autotag] as well as four-stars [autotag]Bryce Cain[/autotag] and [autotag]Malcolm Simmons[/autotag]. Williams would be the final piece in a talented group that would immediately push for playing time once it arrived on the Plains.

“That’s definitely important too because you can’t do it by yourself,” Williams said. “You need other pieces around you to take some of the load off like we have at Saraland. It makes the game easier.”

Auburn lands Georgia State WR Robert Lewis from transfer portal

The first domino of the winter transfer portal window has fallen as Georgia State’s leading receiver has announced his pledge to Auburn.

[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and the Auburn coaching staff can officially claim that this weekend was a success.

Auburn hosted a plethora of transfer portal occupants this weekend, and it ends with a commitment. [autotag]Robert Lewis[/autotag], Georgia State’s leading receiver from the 2023 season, announced his pledge to Freeze and the Auburn Tigers on Sunday evening.

Lewis spent the weekend in Auburn getting to know Freeze and wide receivers coach [autotag]Marcus Davis[/autotag]. Following his visit, he told Christian Clemente of Auburn Undercover that Auburn was at the top of his list due to the program being the first to contact him. After spending time on the Plains, he became locked in.

Lewis tells Pete Nakos of On3 that he can see himself becoming a heavy contributor to the Tigers offense.

“I feel like Auburn is the right fit for me because of the scheme that they run could fit with me,” Lewis tells Nakos. “While talking about football with Coach (Marcus) Davis, we were really on the same page about a lot of things regarding my tape. We were both saying the same thing but in different verbiage. Also with the role I will be tasked with while being in the receiver room, I feel like I could help boost them to another level.”

After playing a supportive role to now-Louisville wide receiver Jamari Thrash last season at Georgia State, Lewis slid into the premier receiver role this season. He answered the call by recording 70 receptions for 877 yards and seven touchdowns.

The wide receiver position needs to be addressed this offseason, and Auburn’s coaching staff is doing a great job of enhancing the unit. Lewis becomes the first transfer portal commitment for the Tigers this season, and should be paired well with incoming freshmen [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag], [autotag]Perry Thompson[/autotag], [autotag]Malcolm Simmons[/autotag], and [autotag]Bryce Cain[/autotag].

Georgia State transfer receiver Robert Lewis (@Robert1K_) has committed to Auburn, he tells @On3sports.

Auburn flips five-star WR Cam Coleman from Texas A&M

Auburn has not one but TWO five-star wide recievers committed in Cam Coleman and Perry Thompson.

[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and [autotag]Marcus Davis[/autotag] have done it again.

The Tigers have pulled off several impressive flips under Freeze but they pulled off their biggest one yet on Friday, landing five-star wide receiver [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag], who had been committed to Texas A&M since July 4.

It was far from an easy process for Auburn to land Coleman, they looked like the favorite to land the Central-Phenix City product over the summer but he shockingly committed to [autotag]Jimbo Fisher[/autotag] and the Aggies. They never stopped pursuing him though and when Fisher was fired they capitalized.

Coleman is the No. 7 overall player and No. 3 wide receiver in the 247Sports composite ranking. He is the No. 1 player from Alabama.

He is set to become Auburn’s third-highest-rated signee in program history, trailing only Byron Cowart and Derrick Brown, making him the highest-rated offensive player in Auburn history.

He is Auburn’s 19th commit and fourth at wide receiver, joining fellow five-star [autotag]Perry Thompson[/autotag] and four-star products [autotag]Bryce Cain[/autotag] and [autotag]Malcolm Simmons[/autotag], all of whom are from Alabama.

100% Committed #AGTG🙏🏾 #WarEagle @Hayesfawcett3 @CoachHughFreeze pic.twitter.com/ufUci59LaF

Predictions pour in for Auburn to flip 5-star WR Cam Coleman

Auburn is looking to land a third five-star prospect and second at wide receiver.

Five-star wide receiver [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag] was one of Auburn’s top targets in the 2024 recruiting cycle before he surprisingly committed to the Texas A&M Aggies back in July.

[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and wide receivers coach [autotag]Marcus Davis[/autotag] never stopped recruiting him though and after the Aggies fired Jimbo Fisher, Auburn is in a great place to flip the Phenix City product.

Coleman has visited Auburn multiple times during the season and is set to return to the Plains for Auburn’s game against New Mexico State and return next week for the Iron Bowl.

With Auburn only increasing its recruitment of Coleman, predictions have poured in for him to flip his commitment to Auburn, Bud Elliot of 247Sports got things started on Friday by logging a crystal ball prediction in Auburn’s favor. On Saturday his colleagues at 247Sports, Christian Clemente, Bryce Koon and Steve Witfong all joined him.

Michael Langston, who covers Florida State recruiting for On3, also put in a prediction for Auburn to land Coleman. The Seminoles were believed to be Auburn’s top competition for the five-star wide receiver.

Auburn is looking to add Coleman to an already impressive wide receiver class, headlined by fellow five-star [autotag]Perry Thompson[/autotag]. They also have commitments from four-star [autotag]Bryce Cain[/autotag] and four-star [autotag]Malcolm Simmons[/autotag].

Coleman is the No. 8 overall player and No. 3 wide receiver in the 247Sports composite ranking. He is also the No. 1 player from Alabama. If Auburn were to sign him, he would become the third highest-rated signee in program history, behind Derrick Brown and Byron Cowart.

Auburn wide receiver commit Bryce Cain makes massive jump in 247Sports ranking

He is now the No. 3 wide reciever in the state of Alabama.

When [autotag]Bryce Cain[/autotag] committed to Auburn he was a three-star prospect and one of their lowest-ranked commits.

That is no longer the case as 247Sports updated their rankings for the 2024 recruiting class and the speedy Cain made a massive jump, becoming a four-star prospect and moving all the way up to being the No. 237 overall player and No. 33 receiver.

The move makes him the No. 3 wide receiver in the state, trailing only five-star Auburn commit [autotag]Perry Thompson[/autotag] and five-star Texas A&M commit and Auburn target [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag].

When he picked Auburn back in June he was outside the top 1,000 players but a breakout senior season has revealed that Auburn found a hidden gem in the 5-foot-11, 170-pounder. In seven games for Baker High School Cain has caught 29 passes for 729 yards and twelve touchdowns.

Cain has all the makings of being a slot receiver once he makes it to the Plains due to his combination of size and speed making him a big-play threat whenever he touches the ball.

Not all of Auburn’s commits shot up the rankings as several made small moves up or down the rankings, here is a look at the three biggest movers outside of Cain.

OL [autotag]Deandre Carter[/autotag]: No. 55 to No. 122
RB [autotag]J’Marrion Burnette[/autotag]: No. 185 to No. 257
CB [autotag]Jalyn Crawford[/autotag]: No. 159 to unranked

Tiger Tracker: Auburn’s wide receiver commits shine in Week 7

Auburn’s wide receiver commits are providing optomism for the future.

It’s no secret that Auburn lacks a dynamic playmaker at wide receiver but help is on the way.

Auburn has three wide receivers committed in its 2024 recruiting class and each of them is having an impressive senior season and that continued last week with each one snagging a touchdown. The trio is led by five-star prospect [autotag]Perry Thompson [/autotag] but four-stars [autotag]Malcolm Simmons[/autotag] and [autotag]Bryce Cain[/autotag] have shown why Auburn’s coaching staff prioritized them.

Thompson had another big for Foley, catching five passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in their 21-17 win over Fairhope. In six games this year he has caught 33 passes for 467 yards and four touchdowns.

Cain had a quiet game by his standards in Baker’s 35-6 win over Bryant, catching four passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns. He has now caught 29 passes for 729 yards and 12 touchdowns in his breakout season.

Simmons had his second-straight game with over 100 receiving yards in Benjamin-Russell’s dominant 50-7 win over Chilton Country. He finished the game with nine catches for 109 yards and one touchdown. He has now caught 24 passes for 470 yards and six touchdowns.

Auburn WR target Ny Carr announces commitment to ACC program

Atleast he won’t be playing for Georgia.

Auburn was one of the schools recruiting four-star wide receiver [autotag]Ny Carr[/autotag] the hardest but the Tigers were unable to land the former Georgia Bulldog commit.

Carr will instead be taking his talents to Miami to play for Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes he announced Sunday on social media.

He is the No. 53 overall player and No. 11 wide receiver in the 247Sports composite ranking. He is also the No. 9 player from Georgia.

The Moultrie, Georgia native committed to the Bulldogs back in July 2022 but Auburn never stopped recruiting him and he took multiple visits to the Plains before decommitting on Sept. 24. He returned to Auburn on Sept. 30 to watch Auburn play Georgia and it looked like they were in a great place to land him.

That didn’t happen as the 5-foot-11, 168-pounder then made a visit to Miami this past weekend and committed to them over Auburn and others.

While Auburn certainly wanted to land Carr, they have already built an impressive wide receiver class that includes five-star [autotag]Perry Thompson[/autotag] and four-star prospects [autotag]Bryce Cain[/autotag] and [autotag]Malcolm Simmons[/autotag].

Cain is enjoying a breakout season for Baker. The speedster has snagged 26 receptions for 654 yards and 10 touchdowns, he has over 100 yards receiving in five of their six games.

Burnette has been battling an ankle injury and has played in just three games for Andalusia. He’s rushed for 157 yards and is averaging 5.2 yards per carry.

Blocton has made his presence felt for Pike Road so far, making 47 tackles, 3.0 sacks, 6.0 tackles for loss and one fumble recovery. Stats are not available for Lewis’ season but he has helped lead Anniston to a 4-3 record.

The game is set to be played Saturday, Dec. 16 at Carlisle H.H. Roberts Stadium in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi.
