What a weekend it was on the Plains.
Big Cat Weekend has officially wrapped up, and it was one of the most successful events in recent memory. Auburn made a great impression on several recruits, as many have now placed the Tigers high on their radar.
In even better news, two talented wide receivers announced their commitment to Auburn. Five-star [autotag]Perry Thompson[/autotag] flipped his pledge from Alabama, and [autotag]Malcolm Simmons[/autotag] elected to stay close to home with his commitment.
Those two talented additions go hand-in-hand with five-star [autotag]Demarcus Riddick[/autotag], who flipped from Georgia to Auburn ahead of Big Cat Weekend.
How much has Auburn climbed in the recruiting rankings following their successful week? The answer is quite a lot. Two weeks ago following the commitment of four-star defensive back [autotag]Jayln Crawford[/autotag], the Tigers were No. 37 overall in 247Sports’ 2024 recruiting rankings. Now? The Tigers are in the top 25.
Here’s a look at the updated SEC recruiting rankings from 247Sports as the calendar flips to August.
