Hugh Freeze looks like a pinball at times moving through Auburn football practices.
Sure, the quarterback guru spends a good bit of time with his passers, but he’ll bounce off throwing drills into work with other position groups, and when he's not with players, he's rolling off the practice fields to the sidelines, either on his phone or in conversation with a young face and his family.
People are also reading… “It's been really impressive to see the work he's put in recruiting. I think it's going to pay off, for sure.” While Freeze's staff in Oxford was charged with multiple NCAA recruiting violations toward the end of his tenure, he had four top-20 classes in five seasons, including a top-10 group in 2013 and top-five bunch in 2016. The last time the Rebels had a top-20 class prior to his arrival was 2009.
Freeze had less than a month to put his touch on Auburn’s 2023 class, and he and his staff flipped nine players from verbal commitments to other schools, including their highest-ranked signee, edge rusher Keldric Faulk. That’s not including a class of transfers that’s considered a consensus top-five class by major recruiting sites.
Its four-man 2024 class only has four verbal pledges, but all four are blue-chip prospects, including quarterback Walker White, who has made a point to be an ambassador for recruiting the school. As of March 24, the Tigers also landed Andalusia product J’Marion Burnette, a four-star running back nicknamed “Phat” because he’s listed at 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds.
