Auburn adds to 2025 recruiting class with commitment from reclassified local RB Omar Mabson

Auburn has added to its 2025 recruiting class.

The program had a busy Early Signing Period in December. Auburn has already seen 21 newcomers from the high school class enroll, with 4 more signed. That’s not counting 16 players out of the transfer portal.

There’s still a National Signing Day in February. That’s when Omar Mabson will sign with the Tigers.

Mabson announced his commitment to play for Hugh Freeze on Monday. He’s a local running back who has reclassified from the Class of 2026 to the Class of 2025.

Mabson shared the big news with the help of On3’s Hayes Fawcett:
