Auburn football officially signs 3-star local running back Omar Mabson II
Auburn football wrapped up its 2025 signing class Wednesday, officially signing Omar Mabson II, a 3-star running back from nearby Auburn High School.
Mabson is the only Auburn signee to sign during the February signing period, with the rest of the Tigers’ 2025 class signing in December.
He now officially joins the class after committing to Auburn on Jan. 27. The 5-foot-9, 210-pound running back was initially listed in the class of 2026, but reclassified in December. Mabson is ranked as the 53rd-best running back in the country and the No. 27 overall player in the state of Alabama, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
“He’s an unbelievable young man,” Auburn High School head coach Keith Etheredge told AL.com in December. “He has all the tools. He benches 375. He has a 4.4 40. He’s great in the classroom. He does all the little things right. He’s one of those kids you love to coach. I would love to coach him for another year, but I know that is kind of selfish. He’s ready to play college football.”
Mabson is the second high school running back to sign with Auburn’s 2025 class, joining Elba standout and Alabama’s new all-time leading rusher Alvin Henderson.
During his final season at Auburn High School in 2024, Mabson rushed for 1,382 yards and 28 touchdowns on 201 carries this season. He also caught 11 passes for 185 yards and three more touchdowns.
