Auburn has now lost two key 2026 pledges in two days.
At the beginning of his Auburn tenure, head coach Hugh Freeze was known for “flipping” recruits from other programs. Entering year three, it appears that several programs are out for revenge.
Monday, Hayes Fawcett of On3 reported that four-star wide receiver Devin Carter has de-committed from Auburn and, in turn, has committed to Florida State. Carter decommitted from Mike Norvell and the Seminoles in January 2024 and announced his commitment to Auburn nearly one year later on Jan. 11 of this year. Still, Florida State kept recruiting Carter, and their persistence paid off.
The move from Auburn to Florida State comes one week after Carter took his official visit to Auburn, where he told reporters that he was “locked in” with Auburn.
“I feel the same, I’m locked in. Same as I was months ago when I committed. This was just reassurance that it’s home,” Carter said on his official visit to Auburn earlier this month. “I had a great time here and I love it here. Coach (Marcus) Davis and his belief in me. Coach (Hugh) Freeze and his belief in me also. Just the whole coaching staff and the way they pour into me and express the way that they feel about me. They’re going to use me well here and I’m going to make plays here in Jordan-Hare Stadium. We’re going to be special here.”
Auburn’s 2026 haul has now dropped to five commitments and ranks No. 62 in 247Sports’ 2026 rankings. Over the weekend, On3’s Jeffrey Lee submitted a prediction for Auburn to land four-star EDGE Jaquez Wilkes. Should Auburn land him, the Tigers may gain momentum in recruiting and end the cycle with a strong class.
