Auburn football has landed its biggest pledge of the 2026 cycle in the nation’s top safety, Bralan Womack.
Womack, a five-star safety from Flowood, Mississippi, announced his commitment to Auburn on Thursday, choosing the Tigers over Ohio State, Florida, and Texas A&M.
Womack began trending to Auburn during his official visit in June when he told Christian Clemente of Auburn Undercover that he felt “comfortable” at Auburn. Following his visit, the Director of Recruiting for Rivals, Chad Simmons, shared during an episode of the Simmons Scoop earlier this month that Auburn and Ohio State were “toe-to-toe”, which led to a prediction that favored Auburn to land Womack by Steve Wiltfong, also of Rivals.
The talented safety detailed his reasoning for choosing Auburn with Tom Loy of 247Sports following his decision.
“Just a relationships. From a football standpoint, I believe in coach (DJ) Durkin and coach (Hugh) Freeze to take care of the football aspect,” Womack said. “But you also want to enjoy your time in college. You don’t want to be miserable in college. You can’t just pick a school because they are good at football. I know Auburn wasn’t the best last year, but like my mom says, ‘God will never send you somewhere that’s perfect, but He will send you somewhere that has a purpose.’ I’m very confident in this decision.”
The addition of the nation’s top safety has Auburn inching closer to a top-25 class. The Tigers now rank No. 35 in 247Sports’ 2026 recruiting rankings with one five-star and four four-stars in the class.
