Craig Tutt, a four-star cornerback from Oakland High School in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, recently paid a visit to Auburn and came away impressed with what he experienced. Tutt, like several recent visitors, had no idea what to expect before visiting the Plains, but learned quickly that Auburn is a special place.

Four-star linebacker JaMichael Garrett decommitted from Auburn, dropping the Tigers to No. 52 in 247Sports' 2026 recruiting rankings. Auburn also missed out on four-star wide receiver Marquez Daniel, who committed to Florida. Despite Garrett's decommitment, Auburn remains in contention and needs to bolster its linebacker corps.
