Four-star wide receiver Bryce Cain signs letter of intent with Auburn

Bryce Cain signs with letter of intent with Auburn

The 2024 Auburn wide receiver recruiting class is absolutely loaded.

Just minutes after five-star recruits Cam Coleman and Perry “Uno” Thompson committed to the Tigers, four-star wideouts Bryce Cain and Malcolm Simmons have joined them on the Plains.

Mobile, AL native Bryce Cain is the newest signee on early signing day. The 5-foot-11, 170-pound speedster out of Baker High School is coming off a sensational season for the Hornets.

In just 11 games his senior season, Cain racked up 948 yards and 16 total touchdowns. The senior averaged 22 yards per catch, showing how he can be used as a change-of-pace weapon in [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag]’s offense for years to come.

The 18-year-old was the 37-ranked wide receiver in the 2024 class and 13-ranked prospect in the state of Alabama.

Cain joins a projected 2024 Auburn recruiting class that ranks in the top 10 nationally according to On3. More importantly, he nearly completes the “Freeze 5” as 2024 quarterback commit [autotag]Walker White[/autotag] has put it.

That “Freeze 5” includes Cain, [autotag]Perry “Uno” Thompson[/autotag], [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag], [autotag]Malcolm Simmons[/autotag], and Alabama commit Ryan Williams.

While a flip from the latter isn’t likely, Auburn has now secured letters of intent from their top four wide receiver targets.

Bryce Cain may not be the star of the show, but he should fit in nicely to eventually take over the “Jay Fair role” on the Tigers offense. It helps that Cain is seemingly a little faster than Fair as well.

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.
