Auburn reveals jersey numbers for freshman summer enrollees

Here’s a look at what number each of Auburn’s freshman summer enrolles will wear.

Auburn put some finishing touches on its roster Tuesday with the announcement of the jersey numbers for the transfers and freshmen who enrolled during the summer.

Eleven freshmen enrolled over the summer and were officially added to the roster including running back [autotag]Jeremiah Cobb[/autotag], the highest-ranked offensive player from [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag]’s transitional class.

While Cobb has a chance to contribute immediately, quarterback [autotag]Hank Brown[/autotag] and offensive tackle [autotag]Tyler Johnson[/autotag] will likely need time to develop before they are ready to see the field.

They also got some much-needed reinforcements in the secondary with cornerbacks [autotag]Colton Hood[/autotag], [autotag]JC Hart[/autotag], [autotag]Champ Anthony[/autotag], and [autotag]Tyler Scott[/autotag], in addition to safeties [autotag]Sylvester Smith[/autotag], [autotag]Terrance Love[/autotag], and [autotag]C.J. Johnson[/autotag] all making it to the Plains.

They also welcome defensive lineman [autotag]Darron Reed Jr.[/autotag] who can play anywhere across the defensive line for the Tigers.

Two members of the 2023 recruiting class are still missing from the roster, freshman wide receiver [autotag]Daquayvious Sorey[/autotag] and JUCO defensive lineman [autotag]Quientrail Jamison-Travis[/autotag].

Here is a look at each number the freshmen summer enrollees will wear their first season at Auburn.

Number Name Position
15 Hank Brown QB
18 Colton Hood CB
19 Sylvester Smith S
20 JC Hart CB
23 Jeremiah Cobb RB
24 Terrance Love S
25 Champ Anthony CB
27 Tyler Scott CB
29 C.J. Johnson S
45 Darron Reed Jr. DL
79 Tyler Johnson OL

CB Tyler Scott committs to Auburn during All-American Bowl

Zac Etheridge and Wesley McGriff have landed yet another impressive player for Auburn.

Auburn has landed one of its top remaining targets in cornerback [autotag]Tyler Scott[/autotag].

Scott, who signed with Auburn during the early signing period, announced his commitment Saturday during the All-American Bowl.

He may be a three-star prospect but has an offer list that shows just how coveted he was. Auburn beat out Alabama, Tennesee, USC, Texas, Michigan, and other top programs for the Mableton, Georgia product.

The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Scott originally committed to Arkansas State back on June 15 but blew up during his senior season and backed off his pledge. He is the No. 446 overall player and No. 43 cornerback in the 247Sports Composite ranking.

He is also the No. 46 player from Georgia but after a strong showing at the All-American Bowl, he could be soon getting a bump.

He joins an impressive defensive back class for Auburn that is headlined by four-star cornerback [autotag]Kayin Lee[/autotag]. Three-star prospects [autotag]Colton Hood[/autotag] and [autotag]JC Hart[/autotag] round out the haul at cornerback.

Secondary coaches [autotag]Zac Etheridge[/autotag] and [autotag]Wesley McGriff[/autotag] also landed four-star safeties [autotag]Sylvester Smith[/autotag] and [autotag]Terrance Love[/autotag] to round out the defensive back room.

With the addition of Scott, Auburn now has the No. 19 recruiting class in the 247Sports team recruiting ranking.

Three Auburn commits to compete in annual all-star game

Three top Auburn commits for the 2023 cycle will get the chance to showcase their skills while representing their home state.

The Alabama High School Athletic Association released the roster and coaches for the 36th annual Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic, and Auburn will have three representatives on team Alabama.

Four-star running back [autotag]Jeremiah Cobb[/autotag], four-star offensive lineman [autotag]Bradyn Joiner[/autotag], and three-star cornerback [autotag]JC Hart[/autotag] are among 40 high school seniors that were chosen to represent the state of Alabama in the annual game that will take place on Saturday, Dec. 10 at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile.

Cobb is having a wonderful season to this point, playing a major role in Montgomery Catholic’s 9-0 record. He has rushed for 1,180 yards and 19 touchdowns while reeling in nine catches for 174 yards and four additional scores. Montgomery Catholic has outscored their opponents, 523-57 through nine games, and will compete for a region title this Friday at Andalusia.

Joiner will be joined by his high school head coach, Keith Etheridge in Mobile, as he was named to the coaching staff for Team Alabama. Joiner is a part of an Auburn High School team that is currently 7-1 on the season after dropping their first game of the season last week to Central-Phenix City, which is coached by former Auburn quarterback [autotag]Patrick Nix[/autotag].

Auburn’s third representative, JC Hart, is a vital part of Lochapoka High School’s best start since 2013. The Indians are 7-1 and are expected to be playoff bound for the third season in a row.

Auburn is currently ranked No. 48 in the 247Sports overall rankings for the 2023 cycle with 11 current commitments. Out of those commitments, eight of them are rated as four-star prospects.

Class of 2023 pledge JC Hart enjoys first Auburn game as a commit

Hart, a native of nearby Loachapoka, grew up attending Auburn home games. Saturday, he took in his first game as a commit.

Auburn’s recruiting efforts as far as quantity is slowly coming together. But, two things that head coach [autotag]Bryan Harsin[/autotag] and other coaches have done well this cycle: bring in quality recruits and make sure that local recruits stay local.

One of those local commits, three-star cornerback [autotag]JC Hart[/autotag], was in attendance for Auburn’s season-opening win over Mercer on Saturday. While there, he did a short interview with Auburn Undercover’s Christian Clemente.

Hart, a product of nearby Loachapoka High School, told Clemente that he has attended many Auburn home games growing up, and used to beg his mother to take him joyriding to campus just to see Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Hart took in his first Auburn game as a commit on Saturday and says that it was an enjoyable experience.

“It’s been great,” Hart said. “I love everything about it.”

Hart was joined by fellow 2023 commits [autotag]Daquayvious Sorey[/autotag], [autotag]Karmello English[/autotag], and [autotag]Bradyn Joiner[/autotag] in Jordan-Hare Saturday. Those four took advantage of the third-quarter lightning delay by using that time to talk more to Auburn’s coaches. By spending time with current players, coaches, as well as fellow recruits, Hart says that he already feels a part of the team.

Hart has played a key role in Lochapoka’s early-season success. The Indians are currently 3-0 and have allowed just 12 points over that span. In last Friday’s win over Verbena High School, Hart recorded a 92-yard pick-six.

Auburn commits shine in high school season openers

Five of Auburn’s seven commits were in action Friday night for their high school squads, and the final two will open their season on Saturday.

Auburn Football is building something special with their 2023 commitments.

The Tigers have seven commits so far for the cycle, with all but one receiving a four-star ranking by 247Sports.

Those recruits will have one more season of development in high school before making their way to the Plains. For most commits, they began their senior season of high school football on Friday night.

Three commits from the state of Alabama enjoyed a win on Friday. [autotag]Jeremiah Cobb[/autotag], a four-star running back from Montgomery, played a crucial role in Catholic’s 21-point season-opening win over McGill-Toolen. Four-star receiver [autotag]Karmello English[/autotag] was also a game-changer in Central-Phenix City’s victory over Hewitt-Trussville.

Here’s a recap of how five Auburn commits performed for their high school teams in week one. Two others, four-star safety [autotag]Terrance Love[/autotag] and three-star cornerback [autotag]JC Hart[/autotag], will open their seasons on Saturday.

Local cornerback JC Hart commits to Auburn

JC Hart is staying home. The three-star cornerback committed to Auburn Friday afternoon.

Auburn is once again doing a great job of keeping local products home. The Tigers landed a commitment from three-star cornerback [autotag]JC Hart[/autotag].

He is from nearby Loachapoka, Alabama, and committed to [autotag]Bryan Harsin[/autotag] and the rest of the Auburn Tigers Friday afternoon over Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, and UCF.

Hart is ranked as the No. 887 overall player and No. 85 cornerback in the 247Sports composite ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 33 player from Alabama.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Hart plays for Loachapoka High School where he also has a GPA over 4.0. The trait that sticks out most about Hart is his blazing speed, he ran a 4.37 40-yard dash at Auburn this June in a camp.

His father, Corey Hart, was also a star at Loachapoka and went on to play for Marshall University.

Hart is Auburn’s seventh commit of the 2023 recruiting class and their first cornerback. He is the second local product to commit to the Tigers, following four-star interior offensive lineman [autotag]Bradyn Joiner[/autotag], who plays for Auburn High.

Local cornerback JC Hart puts Auburn in top four

Auburn has a great shot to land three-star cornerback JC Hart.

The annual Auburn recruiting Bic Cat even continues to pay off for the Tigers. On Wednesday three-star cornerback [autotag]JC Hart[/autotag] announced his top four schools and the in-state Tigers made the cut.

Hart, who attended Big Cat, will be deciding between Auburn, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, and UCF. He also included that a commitment date will be “coming soon.”

The Auburn, Alabama native attends Loachapoka high school and earned an offer after some impressive performances at camps where he showcased his blazing speed, reportedly running a 4.37 40-yard dash at Auburn.

The Tigers have a commitment from four-star safety Terrance Love, but are still looking to land their first cornerback. Hart is ranked as the No. 122 cornerback and No. 45 player from Alabama by 247Sports.

The Tigers have a great shot to land the 6-foot-2, 175-pound Hart. They have a 98.6% according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine and have received four Crystal Balls by 247Sports.

Auburn offers local CB JC Hart

Can the Tigers keep JC Hart home?

Ever since [autotag]Bryan Harsin[/autotag] has been at Auburn he has prioritized recruiting local prospects.

Last year that paid off when the Tigers landed linebacker Powell Gordon and offensive lineman Eston Harris Jr. from Auburn High. On Tuesday Auburn offered another local prospect, extending an offer to [autotag]JC Hart[/autotag].

Hart, who lives in Auburn, plays for Loachapoka High School. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Hart impressed at a camp last week where he showcased his blazing speed.

He is unranked in the 247Sports composite ranking for the 2023 recruiting class but that will be changing shortly. Auburn is his third SEC offer this month and he now boasts over a dozen offers.

Auburn is hoping they can make Hart the latest lower-rated recruit that becomes a star on the Plains. Roger McCreary entered the program as a three-star prospect and left as a second-round pick in this year’s NFL draft.

Clemson visit the best yet for underrated Alabama corner

An under-the-radar prospect from the state of Alabama, who has been drawing interest from Clemson, made his way to campus for Clemson’s second junior day of the year on Saturday, March 5. The Clemson Insider recently caught up with Loachapoka (Ala.) …

An under-the-radar prospect from the state of Alabama, who has been drawing interest from Clemson, made his way to campus for Clemson’s second junior day of the year on Saturday, March 5.

The Clemson Insider recently caught up with Loachapoka (Ala.) High School 2023 cornerback Jacorious “JC ” Hart, who detailed his first-ever visit to Clemson in an exclusive interview.

“It was good,” Hart said. “It exceeded my expectations. It was way better than what I thought it was gonna be. They took us around the campus and they took us around the business halls and all that. The different academics stood out to me.”

What did Hart hear from Clemson’s coaching staff while he was on campus?

“They was just letting me know that I need to keep working and they’re looking forward to getting me back on campus soon,” he said.

The subject of an offer came up, but Clemson let Hart know that they want to see him play in person first. He’s aiming to be back at Clemson, so he can participate in the Dabo Swinney Camp this summer and get to work with the coaching staff.

“Coach Hall, he was letting me know how they want to see more,” Hart said “They just want to see more. Just because I didn’t get an offer that doesn’t mean it’s not coming.

Hart previously had a chance to meet with Lemanski Hall when Clemson’s defensive ends coach stopped by his high school during the live period. This was his first chance to spend an extended period of time with Hall, as well as Mike Reed.

“It was cool to meet Coach Reed most specifically,” Hart said of Clemson’s cornerbacks coach. “I used to watch his DB drills on YouTube.”

Hart got to take in spring practice and watch how Reed coaches up his players. He was a fan of his coaching style, as well as the fact that Clemson has its DBs use boxing gloves during certain drills.

He was also a fan of what he heard from Swinney.

“He was just talking about how people say the SEC is where all the talent goes, but he was just breaking down they record against SEC teams and all that,” Hart said.

Based on the visits Hart has been on, this was the best visit he’s been on yet.
