Top 10-ranked long snapper announces commitment to Auburn football

Auburn football added a commitment to its 2026 class for a second day in a row on Wednesday, this time adding its first specialist to the class.

Long Snapper Travis Wakefield announced his pledge to the Tigers on X (formerly Twitter) Wednesday morning, becoming the ninth commitment of Auburn’s 2026 class. Wakefield is ranked by Kohl’s Kicking as the seventh-best long snapper in the country.

His announcement comes less than 24 hours after four-star linebacker Adam Balogoun-Ali committed to Auburn.

Wakefield plays high school football at Lipscomb Academy in Nashville, where he also plays as a tight end and linebacker, according to his bio on X.
