Kobe Hudson, WR, commit

CURRENT RANKING: 95

PREVIOUS RANKING: 52

411: This drop probably won't sit well with Auburn fans. Hudson, playing out of position last season because his team needed him at quarterback, accounted for over 4,900 yards in 2018 during a memorable season. He threw for 3,386 yards and rushed for 1,410. All told, Hudson accounted for 50 touchdowns. What hurt is that nobody saw him at receiver last year, making it hard to project. If he does well in offseason camps at receiver, it's possible he could move back up. Regardless, he's a top-end talent and still is in the top 100.

Dumb... Dude is a top 50 talent

Demouy Kennedy, LB, commit

CURRENT RANKING: 144

PREVIOUS RANKING: Not in the top 247.

411: After a big junior season, Kennedy got a very nice bump in this update. He's a big commit for the Tigers, who hope to sign up to four linebackers in the 2020 class. He's No. 6 in the state of Alabama. With this bump, Kennedy now is up to No. 108 overall in the industry generated 247Sports Composite.

Could be top 100 by end of cycle

J.J. Evans, WR, commit

CURRENT RANKING: 138

PREVIOUS RANKING: Not in the top 247.

411: Thanks to a monster performance in 2018, the new Auburn commit got a massive bump. This makes him No. 4 in the state of Alabama. Also, he moves to No. 158 overall in the 247Sports Composite. Evans had more than 1,700 receiving yards last season and averaged an incredible 26.6 yards per catch.

Surprised he jumped this high but ain't complaining

Avery Jernigan, OL, commit

CURRENT RANKING: 238

PREVIOUS RANKING: 231

411: Jernigan's drop was so small it basically means he held steady in this update. After committing to Auburn earlier this year, he was solid at an MVP Camp in south Georgia, which allowed him to stay a 4-star following a good 2018 season. 247Sports has him higher than Rivals and ESPN at this time. He keeps getting bigger, which potentially could help his rating down the road.

Arik Gilbert, TE, target

CURRENT RANKING: 12

PREVIOUS RANKING: 14

411: Gilbert, a 5-star recruit, is rated as an athlete but he plans to play tight end in college. Georgia is the favorite, but he visited the Tigers last week and previously was on campus last summer. It's an uphill climb for Auburn, but the Tigers are battling.

A 5* TE coming to AU is still hilarious to me & is totally not gonna happen

Myles Murphy, DE, target

CURRENT RANKING: 18

PREVIOUS RANKING: 34

411: Auburn is a strong contender for the 5-star defensive line recruit from Georgia. Clemson and Georgia are the other major players right now in this recruitment. Murphy has visited Auburn multiple times, most recently last weekend. That trip went very well, he said. With Auburn losing several key linemen after 2019, Murphy is a priority recruit.

Broderick Jones, OT, target

CURRENT RANKING: 25

PREVIOUS RANKING: 35

411: The 5-star Georgia commit got a nice bump after a good 2018 season followed by a strong showing at the Under Armour Future 50 camp in January. Auburn got him on campus last month and is working to get him back. Flipping him from the Bulldogs won't be easy, though. Auburn is selling the chance for early playing time hard.

Want so badly it hurts...

Haynes King, QB, target

CURRENT RANKING: 43

PREVIOUS RANKING: Not in the top 247.

411: King might be Auburn's top quarterback target for 2020. In fact, this week he told us he communicates often with offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham. He has visited Auburn once and hopes to return in the near future. King isn’t just a standout on the football field. He also plays basketball and runs track. Last year, he ran the 400 meters and the mile relay. This spring, he might add sprints to his repertoire

Remember how I said I wanted this guy a few pages back?

Chantz Williams, DE, target

CURRENT RANKING: 44

PREVIOUS RANKING: 64

411: Williams will visit Auburn this weekend and his stock continues to rise. He recently released a top five that included Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia and Miami. The Tigers are working hard to get into the mix and historically Auburn has done fairly well in the Jacksonville, Fla., area. This will be Williams' second known visit to Auburn.

Keyvone Lee, RB, target

CURRENT RANKING: 51

PREVIOUS RANKING: 70

411: Not much is known about Lee's interest in Auburn, other than that he said this week the Tigers are one of the schools he is strongly considering. He's a former Florida commit who recently put himself back on the market. His school in Florida is in the recruiting region of running backs coach Cadillac Williams.

Will Anderson, DE, target

CURRENT RANKING: 79

PREVIOUS RANKING: Not in the top 247

411: Anderson is a major Auburn target from Georgia and the Tigers appear to be among his top contenders. At 6-feet-3, 225 pounds, his future would seem to be at the buck position. Alabama, Florida State and LSU are just some of the other schools involved in his recruitment.

Garner got on this guy early

CURRENT RANKING: 83

PREVIOUS RANKING: 67

411: Florida State leads in the 247Sports Crystal Ball but this recruitment seems to be fairly open at this time. Williams, Auburn's running backs coach, stopped by Toafili's school in January and Toafili has said he hopes to visit the Tigers sometime this spring.

Quandarrius Robinson, DE, target

CURRENT RANKING: 86

PREVIOUS RANKING: Not in the Top 247.

411: When Robinson committed to Auburn last summer, he wasn't a big-name recruit. Today, he is. After a strong junior season, he has seen his stock rise. Robinson de-committed from the Tigers in January, but is still strongly considering them. It likely will come down to Auburn and Alabama.

Baby come back....

Phillip Webb, LB, target

CURRENT RANKING: 98

PREVIOUS RANKING: Not in the Top 247.

411: Webb is a major Auburn target and the Tigers very well might be the team to beat at this time. Clemson is another program to watch. Alabama, too. Webb grew up an Auburn fan and his father went to school there. He's a priority recruit for the Tigers and already has visited them several times, most recently in January.

Must get

McKinnley Jackson, DT, target

CURRENT RANKING: 105

PREVIOUS RANKING: 28

411: Jackson fell quite a bit, but he remains a top target of schools such as Auburn, Alabama, LSU and the in-state schools in Mississippi. He has visited Auburn multiple times during the past year and the Tigers seem to be a real factor in this recruitment. We expect him to visit sometime again in the very near future.

Not surprised on this one. Really good player but not a 5* DT

Tate Ratledge, OT, target

CURRENT RANKING: 113

PREVIOUS RANKING: 68

411: Ratledge is a big Auburn target, but right now the Tigers don't seem to be in a very good spot. Most see this as being a battle between in-state Georgia and Tennessee. Despite this drop in the rankings he's still a very good prospect.

Tank Bigsby, RB, target

CURRENT RANKING: 136

PREVIOUS RANKING: 91

411: Despite a solid 2018 season, Bigsby fell in the rankings. Auburn, Georgia and South Carolina are among the top contenders. It doesn't seem like Bigsby is in any hurry to commit. He visited Auburn last week and we suspect he'll be back on campus several more times in the coming months.

E.J. Williams, WR, target

CURRENT RANKING: 142

PREVIOUS RANKING: Not in the Top 247.

411: Williams had a good season for the state champs in Alabama's largest classification and has gained his fourth star from 247Sports. Even though Auburn has two very talented receivers already on the commit list, Williams remains a target. He has visited Auburn more than anyone but Clemson is trending some at this time.

Jeremiah Pegues, TE, target

CURRENT RANKING: 166

PREVIOUS RANKING: 120

411: Pegues has emerged as a huge Auburn target. He will visit the Tigers again Saturday. Even though his high school is right down the road from Ole Miss, a source with knowledge of his recruitment thinks the No. 3 recruit in Mississippi per the industry generated 247Sports Composite is fairly open to the idea of leaving the area. Getting him on campus twice already this year is big for the Tigers. I think he has emerged as one of Auburn's top two tight end targets, joining 5-star Arik Gilbert of Georgia.

Zykeivous Walker, DE, target

CURRENT RANKING: 175

PREVIOUS RANKING: 221

411: Walker is a major target of several SEC programs, including Auburn. At 6-feet-4, 255 pounds, he has one of the better frames in the class and likely projects as a strong-side end at the next level. Auburn is battling hard. He was expected to visit last weekend, but we haven't been able to confirm if he made it. We do know Walker attended at least one Auburn home game last season.
