Antonio Coleman is still fully committed to the Auburn football program under head coach Hugh Freeze. For the time being.
The 4-star Saraland defensive lineman has switched teams three times, going from Alabama to Auburn, then back to Alabama, and now back to Auburn. He is among the best examples of the NIL era’s disregard for the value of a prospective recruiting commitment.
Ohios Tate of Barstool Sports says that since Coleman is likely to flip again before he has to sign his NLI in 2025, Tiger supporters shouldn’t be concerned about this news.
“Not to put the guy down, but this news can’t be exciting for the Auburn fan base, can it? With a year left, he’s already shown us that he’s more likely than not going to try it again,” Tate wrote. It would be like thinking you’re the one after a guy marries for the fourth time! Does Auburn’s coaching staff raise their hands in the air in response to this news, I wonder? Or do they begin planning who will take his place after he commits to Texas?”
Auburn University football is attempting to lure the elite 2025 Saraland recruiting class.
Developing strong ties with high school coaches throughout the state is one of Freeze’s biggest assets as AU’s head coach. Apart from progressing in prominent Crimson Tide bastions Thompson (Alabaster) and Central (Phenix City), Freeze has also extensively engaged in the Mobile metro area.
One of Freeze’s main goals is Saraland, which boasts three of the top 20 in-state prospects for 2025. Coleman and quarterback KJ Lacey are both reachable, and WR Dillon Alfred might give the Tigers some thought if they decide to switch to the Plains.
Massive Cat Weekend attracted a lot of 2026 recruits. Freeze has a few months to strengthen his 2025 class and persuade a few people to quit flipping pancakes like they’re on a culinary show.
