Could Hugh Freeze and Auburn flip another 5-star in FSU commit KJ Bolden?

Could Hugh Freeze and Auburn flip another 5-star in FSU commit KJ Bolden?

With Dec. 20th’s Early Signing Day quickly approaching, Hugh Freeze and Auburn’s coaching staff are working tirelessly to put a bow on the Tigers’ already-impressive 2024 recruiting class.

After flipping 5-star wide receiver Cam Coleman away from Texas A&M in a massive recruiting win last week, Freeze has been relentless in his efforts to sway another 5-star in safety KJ Bolden, who has been committed to Mike Norvell and the Florida State Seminoles since Aug. 5.

Bolden ranks as the No. 1 safety in the nation and the third-best recruit out of the state of Georgia, according to 247Sports.

On3′s Jeffrey Lee reported that Bolden visited The Plains Monday, which left social media buzzing about Auburn’s push for the blue-chip defensive back down the stretch.

Even players currently on Auburn’s roster began lobbying for the 5-star Peach State safety.

On Tuesday, Bolden and his family were paid a visit by Florida State assistant coaches.

Not to be outdone, however, Freeze took the trip to Buford, Ga. on Wednesday afternoon to visit Bolden, making for the pair’s second meeting in three days.

From the sounds of it, Bolden’s recruitment might be all but over as Auburn continues its efforts to flip him away from Florida State, while also fending off Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs, who have also been players in Bolden’s recruiting process.

Should Freeze and the Tigers manage to win Bolden’s commitment, Auburn will have flipped commits away from Georgia in Demarcus Riddick, Alabama in Perry Thompson, Texas A&M in Cam Coleman and Florida State in Bolden.
