National signing day is one of the biggest days on the college football calendar for any program, but it's become monumental for Auburn in the last several years.
The Tigers are one of the top recruiting powerhouses in the SEC and, by extension, the entire country. It's virtually impossible for teams to compete for championships without winning big on signing day, and Auburn has maintained an elite level of recruiting over the past decade.
Auburn is currently No. 14 in 247Sports' composite team rankings, which is still impressive considering the Tigers' underwhelming seasons in 2014 and 2015 and recent coaching turnover.
