The aftermath: 2024 SEC recruiting rankings following Big Cat Weekend
What a weekend it was on the Plains.
Big Cat Weekend has officially wrapped up, and it was one of the most successful events in recent memory. Auburn made a great impression on several recruits, as many have now placed the Tigers high on their radar.
In even better news, two talented wide receivers announced their commitment to Auburn. Five-star Perry Thompson flipped his pledge from Alabama, and Malcolm Simmons elected to stay close to home with his commitment.
Those two talented additions go hand-in-hand with five-star Demarcus Riddick, who flipped from Georgia to Auburn ahead of Big Cat Weekend.
How much has Auburn climbed in the recruiting rankings following their successful week? The answer is quite a lot. Two weeks ago following the commitment of four-star defensive back Jayln Crawford, the Tigers were No. 37 overall in 247Sports’ 2024 recruiting rankings. Now? The Tigers are in the top 25.
Here’s a look at the updated SEC recruiting rankings from 247Sports as the calendar flips to August.
