Inside the Auburn Tigers This looks and feels like a two-horse race between Auburn and Ole Miss . . . For much of the season, Auburn receiver commit Ze'Vian Capers and 2021 Tigers quarterback commit Aaron McLaughlin, both of Denmark, haven't played a full game . . . Walker plans to attend Saturday's Auburn-Florida game. He will officially visit the Tigers the first weekend in November . . . Auburn commits selected for the all-star game include St. Paul's defensive lineman Daniel Foster-Allen, Hillcrest-Evergreen linebacker Cam Riley and Cohen. Other notable all-stars include Central-Phenix City receiver and Clemson commit E.J. Williams, Hewitt-Trussville defensive lineman and LSU commit Eric Taylor and Spanish Fort receiver and Ole Miss commit Kris Abrams-Draine . . . Auburn running back commit Armoni Goodwin, a junior at Hewitt-Trussville, also suffered a season-ending knee injury, and Hewitt coach Josh Floyd said the injury required surgery . . . Cooper, who picked the Tigers over Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Florida and others, said he "surprised" Auburn coach Bruce Pearl and his assistants . . . "I think he's done a good job, a lot better than people are giving him credit for . . . Hudson – a high school quarterback who plans to play receiver at Auburn -- threw two touchdown passes, ran for 121 yards and scored on TD runs of 11 and 2 yards in Friday's game . . . He had learned from his Eagle Scout project that shipping the filters to Puerto Rico from Alabama was extremely expensive. So this time he and his mother bought plane tickets and delivered the items to Puerto Rico . . . He and close friend Tank Bigsby, of nearby Callaway (Ga.), headline the Tigers' 2020 recruiting class. But first they will square off against each other tonight in LaGrange, Georgia . . . Moore left Auburn to enroll at Jones County Junior College, which is in his home state of Mississippi . . . Five-star linebacker commit Trenton Simpson of Charlotte (N.C.) Mallard Creek was not expected to attend any games at Auburn until late in the season, but because his team played in South Carolina on Friday that got him a little bit closer to Auburn so he made the trip Saturday . . . Tennison is Auburn's 3rd straight DB commit, all blue chip prospects . . . The Tigers picked up a pledge from Ladarius Tennison, an athlete from Southwest Brevard County, Florida (Rockledge) . . . Both likely will attend Auburn's home game against Mississippi State later this month . . . McLaughlin has completed 28-of-45 passes for 335 yards and five touchdowns and an interception in two blowout victories . . . "I'm sticking with Auburn . . . The good news for Alabama and Auburn is that both teams have secured what they believe will be their featured back of the future . . . The Auburn WR commit had six receptions for 47 yards, including a 21-yard TD catch, in a 48-14 loss to Marbury . . . 2021 running back commit Armoni Goodwin, Hewitt-Trussville (Ala.) rushed for 218 yards and four touchdowns . . . "You look at a guy like John Franklin who played a different position and now he's coming back," Nagy said. "So there's some rawness to him, but he has the skillset . . . E.J. Williams of Phenix City (Ala.) Central announced his commitment to Clemson over finalists Alabama, Auburn, and LSU . . . E.J. Williams has narrowed his college choices to four schools – Alabama, Auburn, Clemson and LSU . . . Watching Bigsby you can see the raw athleticism from him when he's in the open field, but the thing that stands out about him as a runner is the way he finishes through contact . . . He's the type of running back that Auburn brought Cadillac Williams home to recruit . . . Cohen said the prospect of playing early and playing close to home – Auburn's campus is less than hour's drive from Phenix City – made a big difference . . . "Auburn's coaches were the most consistent when recruiting me . . . He has already shown success in guiding the next generation of Tigers to the Plains, in his first year back after completing his career's full circle, and his first year ever coaching at this level . . .
