Heading into May, Auburn had very little recruiting momentum. Only a handful of players committed and seemingly no excitement on the trail.
And then all of a sudden they did.
On May 15th, Auburn landed commits from three players on the same day, kicking off a hot streak that would run into June. Capping off that day was 3-star OG Garner Langlo’s announcement that he plans on being a Tiger.
Following the news of Gus Malzahn’s firing, there was some concern that Langlo might leave the class. Coaching instability rumors is what caused his HS teammate 4-star OT Caleb Johnson to look elsewhere eventually flipping to Notre Dame.
