2025 three-star running back Omar Mabson committed to continue his football career at Auburn on Monday. A hometown kid that plays his high school football for Auburn High School, Mabson is the No. 37 ranked prospect from the Heart of Dixie in the class.
The 5-foot-9, 200-pound running back’s commitment comes just two days after he was on campus for an official visit during Auburn basketball’s thrilling victory over Tennessee. Mabson, who is very familiar with the culture surrounding the Auburn family, will now be fully engulfed in it for the foreseeable future.
Mabson’s commitment now marks the fourth straight year a student athlete from Auburn High School has decided to continue his football journey on the Plains. Hobson’s teammate and current Auburn place kicker Towns McGough decided to stay home last cycle. Offensive lineman Bradyn Joiner and cornerback Jacorious Hart joined the Tigers in 2023, and linebacker Powell Gordon along with lineman E.J Harris joined Auburn’s program in 2022.
Mabson is the lone offensive skill position player of the bunch, giving him a chance to become a fan favorite if he can translate his flashy high school production onto the Plains. In two varsity seasons with Auburn High, the talented back rushed for 2,798 yards and 45 touchdowns, including 29 in his senior campaign last year.
While his path to playing time in the immediate future is mostly blocked by incumbent [autotag]Damari Alston[/autotag] and highly-touted freshman [autotag]Alvin Henderson[/autotag], Mabson could pave a role with a good showing in summer practices.
