I wasn’t criticizing anything. Just listing what I saw on his profile…

Class of 2026 wide receiver Denairius Gray has committed to Auburn football.

Gray, who attends Chaminade-Madonna in Boynton Beach, Fla., announced his decision Monday on social media. He chose Auburn over early offers from Georgia, Miami, Florida State, Florida, LSU, Texas A&M, Michigan and Ohio State, among many others.


He’s a 2026 guy so obviously this guy is a few years out.

That school had been putting some good WRs out lately too. I think one of the top guys either this year or last was from there.

Very good school to get in early on. It’s where Worm played high school

Gray, who is listed at 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds, burst onto the recruiting season as a freshman in 2022. That year, he had 56 receptions for 752 yards and 14 touchdowns. Again, he did it as a freshman.

As a sophomore in 2023, he had a receiving touchdown in 10 of 11 games. He finished the season with 25 receptions for 372 yards and 11 touchdowns.


Text from On3

His 2022 freshman stats were from another HS. He was in a loaded room last year as a a sophomore and hauled in 11 TDs. Not bad

Yeah he has offers from all the big P5 schools, so it's not just KY.

But he is two years out, so I don't put much stock into who is committed where right now. (Although having him committed doesn't hurt, it's good for momentum).

Jyaire Shorter?

We currently have Koy Moore and Caleb Burton as our two four star players.

Jay Fair, Hooks,Camden Brown as 3 star players. Mardner was a 2*

Highly doubt you’re going to hear anything until he signs.

Hooks, Mardner, Shorter were transfers taken to fill out the room/roster. I think all those guys were spring additions before the season

Idk what argument you guys have going on here but that’s a bit different from a guy that’s a high school sophomore

Bro you can't make sense with some of these dudes. They're so pissed at the state of Auburn football they're almost completely blind to the impending improvement.

Dumb take. I went after some remark about our WR evaluation abilities.

You are wasting your time if you think I am nega2026WR

I think you jumped to a conclusion. Like I said, I don’t know what the argument is. Just providing context Do with it whatever you will

Well, last year's WR haul was not very productive. Yes, they are very different than the 2026 dude, but we depended on Freeze's WR evaluation abilities, and he, for the most part, failed us. He is righting the wrong in a huge way with the upcoming HS class, but the sarcastic WR evaluations remark given as if our staff has been hitting all the right notes just hit way too soon.

You think RW isn’t watching Milroe not being able to complete a pass beyond 8 yards doesn’t help us.

Was coming to say the same thing, Bama's downfield passing game looks equally abysmal to ours. That said they did bring in the #1 or 2 QB this year.

Also, makes 4th and 31 even more infuriating.
