Some quick-hitting notes on several of the guys we talked to at Auburn's 7-on-7 competition Thursday.

Julian Lewis, 2025 QB — Carrollton
  • Plan is to have his recruitment shut down heading into his final season.
  • Looking forward to getting a chance to meet some current players during his official visit.

Ousmane Kromah, 2025 RB — Lee County
  • Felt great to be back in Auburn, he loves the place and everybody treats him like family.
  • Top four: Auburn, Georgia, Florida State and Tennessee. Will OV to Florida State this weekend, Tennessee next weekend and Georgia June 21-23. Wants to wait until end of summer to have a decision.

  • Just visited Miami, will go to UGA this weekend and then Auburn next weekend.
  • Decision after his OVs conclude.
Jared Smith, 2025 DE — Thompson
  • Smith didn’t participate in the camp, which gave him extra time to spend with AU’s coaches.
  • He especially enjoyed spending time with Coach Freeze and when Freeze FaceTimed his mother.
  • He plans to be at Big Cat July 27 and wants to have a decision before his senior season.
Anquon Fegans, 2025 S — Thompson

  • Feels like a priority and plans to return two more times this summer (Next weekend and Big Cat)
Cederian Morgan, 2026 WR — Benjamin Russell
  • Known Marcus Davis since his freshman year, and the two have been in contact since then.

Note on Auburn's newest commit, Donovan Starr:
  • Auburn cornerback commitment Donovan Starr runs a legit 10.5 100 meters. He hasn't played a lot of football but sources indicate Auburn really likes his bend and change of direction and believe he will develop into a productive SEC corner.
