Report: Auburn Is Hiring New Assistant GM From Rival SEC Program

Auburn is reportedly hiring Arkansas’s Jovon Hubbard to be the Tigers’s new assistant general manager, according to Football Scoop.

Hubbard was the Razorbacks' director of football personnel last season and worked with Hugh Freeze at Liberty from 2019-2022 as Director of On-Campus Recruiting and External Relations.

The impending addition of Hubbard is a strong hire for Auburn, which has been scrutinized for its current very deliberate pace on the recruiting trail; the Tigers have 11 current commitments, according to 247Sports and including their highest-rated pledge, Jaquez Wilkes, who joined the class Monday. Four-star quarterback Peyton Falzone also committed less than a month ago, signaling some momentum on the trail for the program.

Additionally, in recent days, multiple sources told FootballScoop that Auburn isn't done bolstering its personnel, recruiting and scouting staff; the Tigers have had in-depth conversations with a notable NFL executive this month, FootballScoop has learned.
