On-field, the Gus Malzahn era hasn’t seen Auburn become any less the Georgia Cyclone of college football teams, but on the recruiting trail, Malzahn has made his program the most consistent major recruiting player outside of Tuscaloosa, Columbus, Tallahassee or Baton Rouge. The Tigers’ team ranking for Malzahn’s five classes, per the 247Sports composite: 10th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 9th … and even the 6 isn’t really the outlier it appears to be, since that 2014 class was boosted by including a Malzahn-high 27 signees.
