About Durkin and VKW:
OV:
quote:
“Most definitely, Auburn is still number one. At the top of my list,”.
quote:
“Man, this is maybe my fifth visit,” “Same as always. Every time I come here, I have an amazing time. I feel comfortable with the coaches. Oh my God, Coach Golesh, AG, that’s my guy right there. We just built a relationship very quickly. We bonded very quickly.
quote:
“I feel comfortable with his upcoming season. I feel like everything is going to go their way.” “All of the other schools are most definitely high up there also. I dropped my top six. But, I just feel good about it. Auburn is definitely number one.
quote:
“I’d say it’s about the same,” “When Coach AG came, he just added his touch to the tradition –he just expanded it, you know? I just go back and say I think it’s going to be a big season for the Auburn Tigers.”
quote:
“The highlight, I would say, was going into the position meetings,” “That was different. Going to see what I could do on the field, the schemes. I feel that I could fit in that.”
About Durkin and VKW:
quote:
Man, it was huge,”. “Those are my guys. They coach me like I’m one of their players. They call me after every game and tell me what I need to fix, what I need to work on, and what I did good. That was huge that they kept them.”
OV:
quote:
“My OV for Auburn will be June 5-7,” he said. “That is the only one I have so far scheduled.”

About coach Gordon:
Anthony Jennings:
quote:
“The big takeaways was that it felt good to be in Auburn,” Jennings said. “It felt like a home with good people around it with good intentions. I like how most of them stuck together from USF to Auburn. That’s pretty special.
“I’m excited to see how them being at an SEC school will go now since they have better resources than USF, and they still almost made it to playoffs at USF, so I feel that he is leading this team to greatness.”
Sam Lejeune:
quote:
“It was really nice facility along with the coaches,” LeJeune said. “Exciting how you see they constantly are making great d-linemen and teaching them a lot. The d-line coach went into depth with techniques they teach and I’m gonna bring it back and work on some myself.”
Kalib Spivey:
quote:
“I feel like it would be a great opportunity to play for Alex Golesh,” Spivey said. “He clearly is big on changing the culture around at Auburn. He said that a lot when he was talking today. I mean keeping guys like Coach (DJ) Durkin is big too, one of the best defensive coordinators in the game. But what I really took away from today was that he wants players who want to win, not guys who just care about money or a logo.
“I’ll say right now there at the top in my recruitment.”
Cameron Wagner:
quote:
“The big takeaway was that Auburn is a great place,” “It is a lot of fun there. Something’s that contributed to exciting me is they’re an up-and-coming program with new coaches. I also really like the Coach Hoodie (Tyler Hudanick). He is a younger guy that I click with really well.
“I would definitely see myself at Auburn.”
JJ Brown:
quote:
“It was a great experience overall,” “Being on campus and seeing how everything is run really stood out to me. The energy around the program, the attention to detail, and how intentional the staff is with player development.
“What continues to excite me about Auburn University is the vision Coach Alex Golesh and the staff have for the future,” “They’re building something special, and you can feel how much they believe in their players both on and off the field. Auburn is definitely a place I’m excited to continue building a relationship with moving forward.
“Auburn is definitely in a strong position early on for me. The relationships I’m building with the staff, the vision they’ve shared, and how they see me fitting into the program all stand out. After Junior Day, it’s a place I’m excited to keep learning more about as I go through the process.”
Jatori Williams:
quote:
“What excites me is the relationship I’m building with Golesh and the staff,”
Reed Ramsier:
quote:
“It was great being able to sit down with Coach Hoodie and talk ball,” “We watched some of my film and went over how he would develop my technique. I think a big takeaway from the visit was how the coaches have always been the same people time and time again. They are real coaches that care about their players and the staff around them which speaks numbers.
“Overall awesome visit.”
Cincinnati commit Javarris Warner:
quote:
“The big takeaway I had from today was the fact the whole coaching staff is new,” “As well as the offense being playmaker based. It’s made for the 1-on-1s. Very-tempo offense which I’m used to. The thing that continues to excite me is the fact Coach Alex (Golesh) has a mission and him along with the staff are ready to do whatever to get it done! Auburn was always the school I grew up watching, so playing there would be a dream come true, so they definitely have a chance!”
Miami (FL) Commit Jaylyn Jones:
quote:
“The culture up there in Auburn is amazing,” “Everybody loves each other and they welcome you making you feel like you’re back at home. The coaching staff is phenomenal. A bunch of coaches that want to develop you into a young man on and off the field!”
Braden Gordon:
quote:
“The big takeaways today is they’ve really started to flip the culture here in a short amount of time and that starts with them having a really good staff. The opportunity to play for Coach Golesh is exciting. He’s a fiery guy and I have started to build a good relationship with him.”
Joakim Gouda:
quote:
“The people were amazing, real authentic,” “I would say to play for someone that has a true relationship with each individual in the building and the great history Auburn has.”
More reactions from 247:
Monshun Sales:
quote:
"I grew up an Alabama fan," "So I stayed away from Auburn. But now it's different."
quote:
"Really just a great meeting overall, a great visit," "It kind of showed me what Auburn football is all about. It showed how they get their receivers open and get them in space and they showed they got a Biletnikoff receiver and got one of the top offenses in college football last year — they had the number two offense in college football. They showed me how they can produce from the receiver level."
About Golesh and Kodi:
quote:
"They're both two really great guys," "Not even really great coaches, just great guys outside of the football aspect. I feel like that's really one of the things that matters most, not just about football but how you get somebody better every day as a man. And I feel like they can help me do that, too."
If auburn is a factor:
quote:
"I don't know, I'm going to come back in the spring to really like make sure," "I'm just going to come back in the spring and see how I'm feeling."
What sticks out:
quote:
"Basically just how they run their offense," Sales said. "They have a system to get the receiver open. It's a system that they build around the players, too. It's not like you get here and you have to do exactly what they tell to you to do. They're going to build it around the players and max out what they can do."
Elijah Haven:
quote:
"They 100 percent helped their case," "Me and my family already thought highly of the program. Getting to know this new staff is definitely going to help them out for sure."
quote:
"It was amazing," "It was a time to just put some faces with the names and finally get to see these coaches and really get that first building block to building these relationships."
quote:
"I got some time with coach Gordon," "I got to talk a little bit of football, that was nice. Just everything the program has to offer. It's always nice to hear things as far as nutrition, working out, weight plans. It was a great time to hear all that.
About coach Gordon:
quote:
"He's a great coach, but also an amazing person," "He came down twice to see me in Baton Rouge. He's just a great person that I'm looking forward to building a relationship with."
quote:
"Honestly, a lot of things I do currently at my own high school, I feel like that transition would be nice," "It's definitely a fit I could potentially see myself in."
quote:
"They just want to keep building a relationship with me and my family and get to know us," "They know they're not as much in the process as maybe some of the other schools but they're going to recruit me hard. We appreciate that and we're willing to build that relationship."

Jaden Upshaw:

“It was a great visit and felt good to meet the new staff and stuff and just can’t wait to see what they do in the future,”
Karlos May:
quote:
“Today it was a good experience and exciting experience,” “I know I got a chance to see some of the new coaching staff and new people in the building that are ready to go to work. I got a chance to speak with Coach Golesh and he seemed hyped up about the season. What really makes them jump out or stand out is the relationship that me and Coach Vontrell and Coach Durkin have. They’re the main reasons Auburn is top contenders because our relationships is so much deeper than football. The way they coach, they coach with heart, passion and fire and that’s what I need.”
Chase Johnson:
quote:
“The atmosphere was crazy,” “It was good. The thing that continues to excite me about Auburn is how they recruit me so hard.”
Kyson Mallard:
quote:
“It was amazing,” “Something like I’ve never seen before. It inspired me to want to play in a program like that under that coaching staff and what they stand for. The culture they have is elite and something that I’ve never seen before. Everyone was connected to everyone and that’s how a family should look.”
Junior James:
quote:
“It was very energetic and a lot of energy from the staff, "From everything I’ve seen today it definitely looks like Coach Golesh knows exactly what he’s doing with the great staff he’s assembled to coach Auburn. I’m excited about the fact that they play a lot of young guys and especially a lot of kids from the High school I play at.”
Jeremiah Dent:
quote:
“Man the atmosphere on The Plains was phenomenal,”
“They had a small group meaning they wanted the top players and me being only one of the two running backs here meant a lot! They go by ‘be who you say you are!’ That means a lot and really caught my eyes because they believe if you’re that true five star or big dawg act like it. And the offensive stat record it’s insane, top 10 almost every year in offensive yards per game or points and that’s impressive. They see me as a versatile back who can go out to the slot and expand their offense. I’m am excited to see how Coach Golesh handles the SEC level full of good teams to play. If he can keep that up, I feel like they can really be a contender for me. I’m already loving this place and the fans are awesome!”
Khamoni Williams:
quote:
“Man the atmosphere was great,” “Met up with Coach Porter and Coach Golesh. They both are some great guys to be around. What excites me the most was the culture and how (Golesh) told me he’s going to be the best in the nation. I felt that.”
Rashaad Silver:
quote:
“The atmosphere was amazing,” “What excites me about the opportunity to play for Alex Golesh and the Tigers is his commitment to bring glory back to Auburn. He and the staff are heavily bought into their recruits and have a plan for each and every one of us.
“I definitely plan on visiting again.”
