[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] has ramped up Auburn’s recruiting efforts and has already gotten started on the class of 2026.
[autotag]Rodney Colton Jr[/autotag], an athlete in the class of 2026, listed his top six school choices and Auburn cut along with Cincinnati, Florida, Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee.
His recruitment has taken off over the last two months. Liberty was the first program to extend an offer to Colton back on May 3. Since then, Colton has received offers from ten programs across the country. Auburn was one of five schools to offer Colton on May 3 according to 247Sports.
The Newnan, Georgia native is a 6-foot-1, 200-pounder who typically plays the nickel position. Due to his age, he has not received a rating from 247Sports, On3, or Rivals.
The rising sophomore is a big part of Newnan’s defensive secondary.
Like the movement skills from 2026 LB @RodneyColton24. Holds several Power-5 offers, and Tennessee is among the top group of early contenders.
Colton plays with a strong pace and has a knack for the football when he gets close to the ball carrier. pic.twitter.com/4l6hH0lOBZ
