Welcome to National Signing Day, one of the most chaotic and exciting recruiting days on the calendar.

Auburn enters the day with 20 players committed to its 2024 recruiting class and expects most of them to sign their National Letter of Intent. Several already have and some have even begun practicing with Auburn as it prepares for the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30.

On the eve of National Signing Day, Auburn’s class is ranked as the 11th best in the nation, per 247Sports. It is headlined by two five-star rated wide receivers in Cam Coleman and Perry Thompson. Both are expected to sign on Wednesday.

But where the day gets interesting for Auburn is its last-minute pursuit of several flip targets. Five-star safety KJ Bolden (a Florida State commit), five-star DL LJ McCray (a Florida commit) and four-star defensive lineman Amaris Williams (a Florida commit) are all announcing their final college decisions Wednesday and are at the top of Auburn’s recruiting board.

Another one of Auburn’s top flip targets, five-star rated wide receiver and Alabama commit Ryan Williams, will not be making his decision until February’s signing day.

Auburn likely will not land all three, but getting the pledge of one or two from the trio would be a big day for head coach Hugh Freeze. McCray is expected to announce around 9 a.m., Bolden around noon and Williams closer to 12:40 p.m.

Freeze is expected to hold a press conference at 12:30. With the program finally receiving letters of intent from its recruits, Freeze can finally freely discuss his thoughts on the incoming players. Updates throughout the day, including Freeze’s press conference, will appear below as Wednesday goes on. Make sure to check back and to refresh the page for the latest news.

6:17 a.m.: Malik Blocton, younger brother of Auburn star defender and NFL-bound Marcus Harris, is the first Auburn signee of the day. He is rated as a four-star recruit. Blocton is already participating in bowl practices with Auburn.

6 a.m.: The craziness begins. It’s 6 a.m. central time meaning national letters of intent can officially begin rolling in. Auburn already has a few in hand, meaning there should be a flurry of early morning announcements to come.
