2024 safety Kaleb Harris commits to Auburn

Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson three-star safety Kaleb Harris has committed to Auburn.

He chose the Tigers while also holding offers from the likes of Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, LSU and Penn State.

Harris is the No. 633 overall prospect and No. 65 safety in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 31 player in Alabama.

Harris has made multiple visits to Auburn, with the latest being a trip to watch the Tigers take on Ole Miss at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Oct. 21. Hugh Freeze got involved in his recruitment, pushed for the defensive back and landed his pledge.

“I think (Auburn) is something I would like to be a part of,” Harris told Auburn Live. “Always been one of my favorites, then the coaches started pushing hard to get me, I think it just boosts it.”

Harris does not currently have an On3 NIL Valuation. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Harris is latest in-state edition to join Auburn’s 2024 class

With Harris now in the fold, Auburn’s recruiting class features 17 commits and ranks No. 17 in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Ranking. The class is built on in-state recruiting.

Harris becomes the 10th in-state commit for Freeze and Co. The three highest-ranked pledges in the class are all Alabamians: Foley four-star wide receiver Perry Thompson, Clanton Chilton County four-star linebacker Demarcus Riddick and Tuskegee Booker T Washington four-star LB Joseph Phillips.

Auburn’s class now contains four defensive backs, headlined by Lilburn (Ga.) Parkview four-star corner Jalyn Crawford and Alabaster (Ala.) Moody four-star CB A’Mon Lane. Harris is the second safety in the class, alongside Naples (Fla.) three-star Kensley Faustin.

In total, Auburn has 11 four-star pledges. Behind Thompson, Riddick and Phillips, other top commits include Little Rock (Ark.) Christian four-star quarterback Walker White, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei four-star interior offensive lineman DeAndre Carter, Mobile (Ala.) Baker four-star WR Bryce Cain, Andalusia (Ala.) four-star running back J’Marion Burnette and Alexander City (Ala.) Benjamin Russell four-star WR Malcolm Simmons.
