Auburn Tigers flip 2023 recruit from LSU, massively bump recruiting class

Auburn’s 2023 class shot up to No. 39 in the nation with the flip.

The Auburn Tigers got a massive recruiting boost on Friday.

Four-star defensive back Darron Reed, a prospect out of Columbus, Georgia, was committed to the LSU Tigers in the 2023 class — until now. Reed announced on Twitter Friday that he would be flipping to Auburn, which serves as a massive get for the Plains amid a previously weak recruiting class.

Reed is currently listed as the 202nd-best recruit in the 2023 class according to 247Sports. The commitment, which Reed said on Twitter was “1000%” official, massively boosted Auburn’s rankings for its 2023 class. The Tigers went from No. 51 in the nation to No. 39 after the signing, a jump of 12 spots after the addition of Reed.

Reed is the 9th four-star of the Auburn class and the third defensive lineman the Tigers have recruited. The flip comes in the midst of a new head coaching search for Auburn after the firing of previous coach Bryan Harsin, though it’s unknown if Reed’s flip is related to the current coaching search.

Expert picks: Auburn looks to shock the world on Saturday

The guys at Auburn Wire make their predictions for Saturday’s Iron Bowl at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Now that Thanksgiving dinner is officially over, it is time for everyone to begin preparing for the year’s most important day in the state of Alabama, Iron Bowl Saturday.

The No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide has an outside shot at making the College Football Playoff but will need to beat Auburn at home in order to keep those dreams alive.

Auburn enters the game with motivation, as they have won two straight games under interim head coach[autotag] Cadillac Williams[/autotag]. Williams has the team playing with an upbeat attitude, and now has confidence that they can pull off the upset at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday.

Before enjoying their Thanksgiving dinners, the staff at Auburn Wire took time to share their predictions for the game, as well as the players that they feel will need to make an impact in order for Auburn to win on Saturday.

Here’s how writers Taylor Jones, J.D. McCarthy, and River Wells see Saturday’s game between Auburn and Alabama playing out.

Alabama’s offensive keys to victory over Auburn in the Iron Bowl

Keys to victory for Byrce Young and the Alabama offense against the Auburn Tigers in the Iron Bowl.

[autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide will look to keep their very slim playoff chances alive on Saturday when they take on their arch-rivals in the Auburn Tigers.

While it’s not likely that Alabama makes the playoff, winning 10 regular season games would be a great accomplishment for the program because that would mark the 12th consecutive season of reaching that win total in the regular season.

Although Auburn only has five wins on the season, the Tigers are playing their tails off for interim head coach Carnell Cadillac Williams and this will not be an easy matchup for the Tide.

[autotag]Bill O’Brien[/autotag], [autotag]Bryce Young[/autotag], and the rest of the Alabama offense will need to play a clean game on Saturday to avoid the monumental upset of the Tigers.

Here are the keys to victory for the Alabama offense on Saturday:

One ESPN analyst thinks Lane Kiffin will take the Auburn job

The GameDay host thinks some of Kiffin’s phrasing in his committals to Ole Miss doesn’t necessarily mean he will stay in Oxford.

The drama surrounding Ole Miss head coach and potential Auburn candidate [autotag]Lane Kiffin[/autotag] has certainly sparked commentary from all corners of the college football world, and an SEC legend gave his own take on Wednesday.

Former Georgia Bulldogs linebacker and current ESPN GameDay host David Pollack joined host Dan Patrick on the Dan Patrick show to discuss Lane Kiffin’s treatment of the rumor surrounding him — and he believes that those rumors may become reality sooner than later.

“I think he’s going to,” Pollack said. “I think what he said specifically was, ‘I haven’t taken the Auburn job yet, I’m not going to step down and take the Auburn job.’ I don’t know that he said, ‘I’m not taking the Auburn job, period, I’m not in the mix.'”

The former linebacker also gave his opinions on why Auburn would do well to hire the current coach of the Rebels.

“I think for Auburn, it would be a really good hire,” Pollack said. “Auburn did something last time, they went outside of the league and got Bryan Harsin. I don’t think Auburn is doing that again.”

Pollack called Auburn “the best job on the market” and said that any talented coach could take advantage of an aging Nick Saban to possibly cement their legacy in the SEC for years to come.

Kiffin wasn’t the only coach mentioned in the interview, however. Pollard also brought up Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders, who could still be looking for a major jump despite reports saying otherwise.

“Deion wants the job. Deion definitely wants the job,” Pollack said. “I’ll tell you what, I think Deion is a problem for people… Deion’s got competitive toughness.”

In the meantime, interim coach Cadillac Williams will helm the ship when Auburn takes on the Alabama Crimson Tide for what could be the last game it plays this season if it does not win and become bowl eligible.
