Auburn target Ousmane Kromah sets commitment date

Is Kromah a lock to become Auburn’s second running back commitment for the 2025 cycle?

One of Auburn’s top targets from the 2025 recruiting cycle is ready to announce his commitment.

[autotag]Ousmane Kromah[/autotag], a four-star running back from Leesburg, Georgia, tells On3’s Jeffrey Lee that he plans to announce his commitment on Saturday, Sept. 28, the same day that Auburn hosts Oklahoma at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Experts feel great about Auburn’s chances to land Kromah. On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has Auburn beating out Georgia and Florida State with a 92.3% forecast while Auburn has two crystal ball predictions from recruiting analysts Tom Loy and Christian Clemente of 247Sports. It helps that Kromah has been a frequent visitor to the Plains since the 2024 season kicked off in August. So far, Kromah has been in attendance for Auburn’s wins over Alabama A&M and New Mexico.

“Why would I not want to come back?” Kromah said in a recent interview with On3. “It’s always a great atmosphere, always great energy, always good to be around (the people). They always make me feel welcome. It’s just great to be back in general. I just wanted to come back and be around the good people and just enjoy my time being down here.”

Ahead of Kromah’s commitment, Steve Wiltfong of On3 gives Auburn the advantage. However, its biggest challenger will be Kromah’s home-state school, Georgia. Expect a tight battle between [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and Kirby Smart heading into Kromah’s commitment date.

Kromah is a top-10 running back from the 2025 cycle according to every major recruiting outlet. He ranks as high as No. 5 by both On3 and Rivals standards and is the No. 10 recruit from Georgia according to Rivals’ rankings.

Four-star RB Ousmane Kromah expected to visit Auburn this weekend

One of Auburn’s top targets is expected to visit the Plains for Auburn’s game with New Mexico on Saturday night.

Another weekend of football on the Plains is set to commence, and with it comes another star-studded list of visiting recruits. Among this weekend’s expected visitors is a priority running back target from the 2025 cycle, four-star [autotag]Ousmane Kromah[/autotag].

According to Keegan Pope of On3, Kromah is set to visit Auburn this weekend after originally planning to check out South Carolina for their game with LSU. Steve Wiltfong of On3 reported that Kromah could visit Auburn instead of South Carolina, Jeffrey Lee of Auburn Live later confirmed that Kromah is expected to visit the Plains for Saturday’s game.

Kromah’s decision to visit Auburn instead of South Carolina is important as he is closing in on a decision date. The Leesburg, Georgia native told On3 recently that he plans to announce his commitment in late September or early October. This weekend’s visit will be his fourth since the summer months began. He has already taken in one game this season, Auburn’s 73-3 win over Alabama A&M to kick off the 2024 season.

Kromah is the No. 4 running back for the 2025 cycle according to On3’s Industry Rankings and ranks as high as No. 10 among Georgia recruits for the class. Auburn is in a great position to seal the deal for Kromah as they currently have a 92.3% chance to land him according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine. If Kromah commits to Auburn, he will be paired with another fellow running back, [autotag]Alvin Henderson[/autotag], giving Auburn stability at the position for a few seasons.

Report: Deuce Knight to visit Auburn for second-straight weekend

Four-star Notre Dame pledge will be on Auburn’s campus this weekend to watch the Tigers battle Cal.

Auburn football will get another chance to sway Notre Dame commit [autotag]Deuce Knight[/autotag] this weekend.

According to a report from Steve Wiltfong of On3, Knight is returning to Auburn this weekend to watch the Tigers face California at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Knight was a part of a star-studded visitor list for Auburn’s season opener against Alabama A&M last weekend that included four-star linebacker [autotag]Elijah Melendez[/autotag], four-star running back [autotag]Ousmane Kromah[/autotag], and Alabama’s top 2025 recruit, [autotag]Na’eem Offord[/autotag].

According to Wiltfong, Knight has built relationships with Hugh Freeze and the director of recruiting Kenyatta Watson has led to the upward trend. Also, the possibility of playing quarterback in the SEC intrigues Knight.

Although still committed to Notre Dame, Knight has remained a high priority for Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers. Rumors began circulating about a possible flip since Big Cat Weekend in July, an event Knight attended. The Lucedale, Mississippi native has a 91.1% forecast from On3 to flip to Auburn while Steve Robertson and Tom Loy of 247Sports have submitted flip predictions in favor of Auburn.

Knight is a top-10 quarterback according to all major recruiting outlets for the 2025 class and ranks as high as No. 2 in the state of Mississippi.

Auburn receives expert prediction to land four-star RB Ousmane Kromah

Kromah was one of many high-profile targets to visit Auburn over the weekend. Has Auburn officially closed the deal?

Auburn football convincingly won its season opener over the weekend. Not only was it a successful weekend on the gridiron, but the Tigers also notched a win on the recruiting trail.

Several key targets were on hand to watch Auburn dismantle Alabama A&M on Saturday, including four-star running back [autotag]Ousmane Kromah[/autotag]. Kromah, a native of Leesburg, Georgia, told Jeffrey Lee of Auburn Live that his visit went better than he expected.

The experience, just being around all the people, was way better than the last time I was here … 100 percent,” Kromah said. “It just made me like Auburn way more.”

Following Kromah’s visit, On3’s Chad Simmons and Steve Wiltfong logged predictions that favored Auburn to land the four-star back. Wiltfong says that Auburn appears to be the frontrunner despite Kromah’s upcoming visits to Georgia and South Carolina. Simmons says that he personally likes Auburn’s chances to add Kromah to their 2025 haul even more than he did in June when Auburn flipped four-star running back Alvin Henderson from Penn State.

Following the predictions from Wiltfong and Simmons, Auburn now has a 90.1% chance to sign Kromah, with Florida State, Tennessee, and Georgia next in line. Kromah is considered a top-10 running back by every major recruiting outlet and ranks as high as No. 75 nationally according to Rivals.

Five-star Ohio State pledge Na’eem Offord to visit Auburn on Saturday

Auburn is working hard to flip Alabama’s top 2025 recruit from Ohio State.

Auburn football’s star-studded visitors list for the season opener against Alabama A&M just got brighter.

[autotag]Na’eem Offord[/autotag], an Ohio State pledge and Alabama’s top recruit from the 2025 cycle, is scheduled to visit the Plains this weekend. Joining him are four-star quarterback [autotag]Deuce Knight[/autotag] (Notre Dame commit), four-star linebacker [autotag]Elijah Melendez[/autotag] (Miami commit), and four-star running back [autotag]Ousmane Kromah[/autotag].

Saturday will be Offord’s first visit to Auburn since Big Cat Weekend last month. Offord says that he enjoyed the weekend visit and that Auburn coaches are working to keep him in the state.

“I’m currently committed to Ohio State, but still enjoying the process,” Offord said following his visit to Auburn for Big Cat Weekend. “With Auburn, I’m an in-state guy, so they want to recruit me as hard as they can.”

Offord is the No. 1 recruit from Alabama for the 2025 cycle according to 247Sports. Getting Offord on campus is important for Auburn as they look to complete the top-10 sweep of Alabama’s top recruits. Currently, eight of Alabama’s top 10 recruits are committed to Auburn with Offord and four-star EDGE [autotag]Zion Grady[/autotag], a fellow Ohio State pledge, not following suit.

Could Auburn wrap up the weekend by gaining an advantage with both Knight and Offord?
