Auburn football extends an offer to a skilled running back in the 2026 class.
The Auburn Tigers have extended an offer to a promising running back in the 2026 recruiting class.
Under the leadership of Hugh Freeze, Auburn has been proactive in scouting talent for the 2026 recruiting class, establishing early relationships. This recruiting cycle marks a significant opportunity for the Freeze era, as they have ample time to recruit these players over multiple years without feeling rushed.
The most recent offer was made to Carsyn Baker, a running back from Langston Hughes High School in the 2026 class, as announced by Baker himself on Twitter.
Baker expressed his gratitude for the offer, citing a positive conversation with the coaching staff. Offensive coordinator Derrick Nix, who oversees the running backs, is likely responsible for extending the offer. Recruiting top-tier running backs is crucial for Auburn in the coming years, as they face the departure of key players due to eligibility and potential NFL Draft entries.
Following the current season, Auburn will lose notable talents like Jarquez Hunter and Brian Battie, with Damari Alston also eligible for the NFL Draft.
Despite these challenges, Auburn’s 2026 recruiting class is already taking shape, with commitments from Kail Ellis and Denairius Gray.
Kail Ellis is praised for his agility and physicality as a center, traits that are expected to serve him well in the competitive SEC.
Denairius Gray has showcased his skills at a high level, playing alongside notable talents like Joshisa Trader and Jeremiah Smith. With impressive stats over two years, Gray’s contribution to his team’s success is evident, making him a sought-after prospect for Auburn.
