Hugh Freeze Makes Concerning Admission on Auburn's NIL Budget

Hugh Freeze Makes Concerning Admission on Auburn's NIL Budget originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It has not been a good week to be an Auburn Tigers fan. On Wednesday, five-star recruits Earnest Rankins and Cederian Morgan committed to the Florida State Seminoles and the Alabama Crimson Tide, respectively, with each prospect having Auburn on their shortlist heading into the week. Advertisement Auburn is not only struggling to land commitments, but they are also failing to keep those who had previously pledged their allegiance to The Plains. With 2026 four-stars Denarius Gray and Shadarius Toodle denouncing their commitments from Auburn in the past week, the Tigers are now ranked 89th regarding the 2026 recruiting class, per 247Sports. Auburn Tigers head coach Hugh Freeze.© Jake Crandall/ Advertiser / USA TODAY NETWORK Auburn houses just six hard commits, highlighted by four-star edge rusher Hezekiah Harris and four-star quarterback and former Penn State Nittany Lions commit Peyton Falzone. For head coach Hugh Freeze, who finds himself in the crosshairs of fans after the program's latest setbacks, he believes the NIL era is to blame. According to Justin Hokanson of On3, Freeze says Auburn is "really low" on NIL funds compared to other top programs that are in play for their recruits. Advertisement Freeze also emphasized that his staff continues to operate under the rules and guidelines presented by the NCAA and Congress, which he feels other teams may not be as law-abiding. Nevertheless, Freeze has a belief in the program's direction, with a top-ten recruiting class in 2026 not out of the picture. Auburn AD John Cohen hints that August 1 — the first day players can sign NIL deals — as a chance for the Tigers to flip recruits.

Alabama Flips 4-Star QB From Big 12 Powerhouse

Alabama Flips 4-Star QB From Big 12 Powerhouse originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide have their Class of 2026 quarterback. Jett Thomalla changed his mind on Tuesday, ditching Matt Campbell and the Iowa State Cyclones. Advertisement 'BREAKING: Four-Star QB Jett Thomalla has Flipped his Commitment from Iowa State to Alabama, he tells me for @on3recruits,' On3's Hayes Fawcett wrote on X. 'The 6'4 210 QB from Omaha, NE had been Committed to the Cyclones since April. 'All glory to God, Roll tide!!' Thomalla is listed as the No. 16 overall passer in his class according to 247Sports' composite rankings. He's the top-rated prospect in Nebraska. 'Decorated prep signal caller with some peaks and valleys on the game tape, but one that has a chance to emerge as a winner on Saturdays,' 247Sports director of scouting Andrew Ivins said of Thomalla in an April scouting report. 'More than capable of extending plays and creating opportunities when the pocket breaks down as he climbs away from pressure and keeps his eyes down field. Millard South quarterback Jett Thomalla (4)Patrick Breen/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK 'Projects as a potential multi-year starter at the Power Four level. Likely to need a developmental year or two, but hard not to get excited about the size, velocity and resume.' Advertisement Thomalla was named MaxPreps' 2024 Nebraska Player of the Year. He led Millard South to a 12-1 record and Class A title, setting the state classification record in passing yards (3,663 yards), touchdown passes (47), and completions (250). Ryder Lyons (No. 5 passer in 247Sports' rankings), Landon Duckworth (No. 6), Bowe Bentley (No. 10), and Oscar Rios (No. 12) are other highly-touted signal-callers in Thomalla's class who have yet to sign.

Nation's No. 2 WR Commits to Alabama

Nation's No. 2 WR Commits to Alabama originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide added another jewel to their 2026 recruiting class on Wednesday. They didn't even have to leave the state to do so. Cederian Morgan, the No. 2 wideout in his class — according to 247Sports — and the top player in Alabama — chose to join Ryan Williams in Tuscaloosa. Advertisement The Auburn Tigers, Florida Gators, Colorado Buffaloes, Georgia Bulldogs and Clemson Tigers were also in play for Morgan, who picked Alabama live on the 247Sports YouTube channel and CBS Sports HQ. "Evaluation echoes that of a luxury sports car: big, smooth, and powerful," 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks wrote in a May scouting report. "Plays with obvious horsepower, accompanied by some encouraging physical refinement and nuance in regards to fluidity and locomotion. ... Size and track speed suggests that another top-end gear in pads exists, and therefore consistent downfield separation ability." Alexander City (Ala.) Benjamin Russell Wide Receiver Cederian MorganBrian Smith-Auburn Daily Morgan finished his junior season on the gridiron at Benjamin Russell High School with 70 receptions for 1,162 yards and 14 touchdowns. He also competes in the high jump and 100- and 200-meter dashes on the track. Advertisement Morgan joins three On3 five-stars in the Crimson Tide's stacked haul — cornerback Jorden Edmonds, linebacker Xavier Griffin and running back Ezavier Crowell. Prior to Morgan's pledge, DeBoer's class ranked No. 7 in the country for 2026. SEC foes Georgia (No. 2) and Texas A&M (No. 4) were listed ahead of it, per 247Sports. Morgan joins recent receiver commits Brian Williams and Owen Cabell, both three-star prospects. Four-star quarterback Jett Thomalla, an Iowa State flip, is also part of the package.
