Recruiting Expert Chimes In On Karlos May And Auburn Tigers

Auburn Tigers brace for disappointment as top defensive tackle target Karlos May heads toward an Ohio State commitment. Despite missing out, Auburn’s defensive line class remains strong, boasting breakout prospects like Donivan Moore and MJ Evans, with the potential to be among the best in the nation. The conversation focused on how Auburn’s recruiting strategy is paying off, even as NIL dynamics and intense competition shape outcomes for elite talent. The discussion explored Cedric Simmons’ likely flip from Auburn to Alabama and what that means for the Tigers’ depth at slot receiver. Key themes include Auburn’s new approach to recruiting under current NCAA transfer and NIL rules, the importance of athletic, versatile prospects like Preston Williams, and the need for more top-end talent at offensive and defensive tackle. Are the Tigers’ bold recruiting risks about to pay off—or will roster holes hold them back in the SEC race?
