Auburn Tigers remain No. 11 in latest USA TODAY Baseball Coaches Poll
The Auburn Tigers stay at No. 11 in the latest USA TODAY Baseball Coaches Poll released on Monday. Auburn went 3-1 last week with a mid-week win over Georgia Tech, and a weekend series win over Mississippi State. The Auburn bats came alive over the weekend with 27 runs scored. It had been a struggle on offensive over the previous four games.
Auburn got the week started on with a 1-0 win over Georgia Tech to sweep the season versus the Yellow Jackets. The Tigers used four pitchers in the game allowing just two hits and struck out 15 batters. Christian Chatterton got the start and pitched four innings with six strikeouts.
Auburn then took two of three games from the Mississippi State Bulldogs for another SEC series win. The Tigers took game one with a 6-5 win. Freshman Chris Rembert started his big weekend with a four-hit performance and two RBIs. He broke a 2-2 tie in the fourth with a double that scored both Chase Fralic and Cooper McMurray.
Game two was a struggle for the Auburn pitching staff. The pitchers gave up 12 runs on 14 hits, and the Tigers were down 10-1 in the fourth inning in the 12-7 loss. Starting pitcher Cade Fisher gave up four runs from a couple of two-run home runs. Rembert only had one hit in the game, but it was a solo home run in the seventh to make the score 10-5.
The Tigers took the series on Sunday with a 14-8 win. Auburn used a six-run second inning to take an 8-2 lead. Rembert hit a two-run home run followed by a three-run home run in the inning. Auburn also scored three runs in both the fourth and eighth innings.

Texas A&M 2026 prospects named as top high school football commits of June
The month of June was a massive one for Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko, as he landed commitments from multiple top-ranked prospects in the 2026 class. This month alone, the Aggies have landed two five-star and three four-star recruits that have moved the program up to No. 4 in 247 Sports Team Recruiting Rankings. That recruiting success is a testament to the incredible job Elko and company have done by making these athletes feel at home in the Maroon and White. Following On3 Sports' acquisition of Rivals, the site named the top high school commitments of June. The list included the likes of two Texas A&M recruits, both of whom rank in the top 50 players in the country. Brandon Arrington and KJ Edwards are two of the most highly-touted recruits that the Aggies have landed from the class of 2026. Both are ranked as the No. 2 players in the country at their position, according to 247 Sports Player Rankings, and will provide the program with electric speed and tenacity on the gridiron when they arrive in College Station next year. Arrington is a five-star defensive back prospect from Columbus, Ga., who has all the intangibles to succeed at the next level. The top-ranked athlete prospect in the nation chose Texas A&M over schools like Penn State, Washington, Alabama and Oregon, as he made it known that Aggieland would be his new home. "The relationship goes back to day one, for real," he said per ESPN. "They've been locked in with me, recruiting me hard from the very start. The environment feels like home. The people care about football here." Ranked at No. 9 on the list from Rivals is Edwards, who announced his commitment to the Aggies on June 17. The Carthage, Texas, native's tape speaks for itself, as the ferocious running back has displayed an innate ability to maneuver through defenders and break tackles with incredible speed. Those attributes will make him an outstanding asset to Elko's offense in 2026. During his junior season, Edwards rushed for 1,798 yards and 23 touchdowns, while also hauling in 383 receiving yards and three touchdowns through the air. He makes everything he does on the gridiron look easy, as he uses his quickness and shiftiness to dominate on the ground. His elite footwork and ability to get to the second level quickly are attributes that will be detrimental to have against competition in the Southeastern Conference. Needless to say, Elko hit a grand slam by landing Arrington and Edwards in June. Texas A&M's overall ranking for the 2026 class was boosted tenfold when both superstar athletes announced their commitments to the Aggies. The only thing left on the agenda is to get them to College Station so they can begin electrifying the Aggie faithful at Kyle Field next year.
