In a significant recruiting move, Auburn has successfully flipped a massive four-star defensive lineman from Alabama. The news, reported by On3โs Hayes Fawcett, highlights Auburn’s success in securing commitments from highly sought-after recruits.
The recruit in question is Antonio Coleman, a 6-foot-2, 285-pound defensive lineman. Coleman had initially committed to Alabama but has now decided to join Hugh Freeze’s Tigers. His decision to flip in-state schools is attributed to several factors, including the coaching staff, the overall atmosphere at Auburn, and the perceived playing opportunities he will have with the Tigers.
When discussing his choice to flip, Coleman emphasized the genuine and straightforward approach of Auburn’s coaches, particularly mentioning Coach Garrett and Vontrell as influential figures in his decision-making process.
Antonio Coleman is ranked as the 114th player in the country for the 2025 recruiting cycle, earning the distinction of being the 13th ranked offensive tackle and the 10th ranked player from the state of Alabama.
The addition of Coleman bolsters Auburn’s recruiting class, which currently sits as the seventh-ranked class in On3โs 2025 team rankings. The Tigers’ success in securing commitments from high-caliber recruits contributes to the team’s ongoing efforts to build a competitive and talented roster for future seasons. Auburn’s recruiting momentum is undoubtedly a testament to the coaching staff’s ability to connect with players and create an appealing program environment.
