Auburn football’s rough end to the 2024 season landed them in the bottom half of the final USA TODAY Sports re-rank at No. 86, falling behind many SEC programs and several in-state foes such as Jax State and South Alabama.
USA TODAY’s Paul Myerberg recently dropped his first re-rank of the season following the spring practice period. How much stock is he putting in the Tigers ahead of the summer months?
Myerberg places Auburn at No. 35 following Auburn’s spring session, one spot below Georgia Tech and one spot ahead of season-opening opponent, Baylor. The giant leap from No. 86 to No. 35 could be the result of Auburn’s strong recruiting efforts in both the high school ranks and the transfer portal.
Last offseason, Auburn rebuilt its quarterback room by adding Oklahoma transfer Jackson Arnold and Stanford transfer Ashton Daniels from the transfer portal, and signing five-star Deuce Knight. Cam Coleman and Malcolm Simmons return to the wide receiver corps while Eric Singleton, the top wide receiver from the transfer portal, joins the mix. Defensively, Auburn returns a stunning defensive backfield with Kayin Lee, Jay Crawford, and Kaleb Harris, while NFL first-round projection Keldric Faulk headlines the defensive line.
Auburn is one of 11 SEC teams to occupy the top 35 of Myerberg’s rankings. Texas (No. 1) and Georgia (No. 4) represent the conference in the top five, while LSU (No. 7) and Alabama (No. 10) round out the top 10. Missouri (No. 37), Arkansas (No. 62), and Kentucky (No. 81) are several of the schools behind Auburn in the post-spring re-rank.
Auburn football will begin the season on Friday, August 29, at Baylor.
