Auburn extended an offer to a familiar-sounding name on Tuesday. The Tigers staff offered Cleveland (Ohio) Villa Angela St. Joseph four-star athlete Bo Jackson.

Jackson is the nation’s No. 66 overall prospect, No. 5 athlete and No. 4 Ohio recruit in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He holds offers from a number of other top programs including Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia and Alabama.

Auburn Class Breakdown

Five blue-chip recruits headline Auburn’s 2025 class, and needless to say, the future of the defensive line on the Plains looks bright.

Highland Home (Ala.) four-star EDGE Jakaleb Faulk, Birmingham (Ala.) Parker four-star defensive lineman Jourdin Crawford, Opelika (Ala.) four-star defensive lineman Malik Autry and Dyersburg (Tenn.) four-star defensive lineman Kalen Edwards are all currently pledged to the Tigers.

This class also includes commitments from Buford (Ga.) four-star cornerback Devin Williams, Athens (Ala.) offensive tackle Spencer Dowland and a pair of tight ends in Alpharetta (Ga.) Milton’s Ryan Ghea and Peachtree City (Ga.) Mcintosh’s Hollis Davidson.

“I committed to Auburn,” Williams told On3. “It was a different feeling. I was planning some visits in the spring, I thought I would take official visits, but over the last four or five days, it just hit me. The more I thought about it, I knew Auburn was where I wanted to be. I knew it was time to commit and I knew Auburn the school.”

Williams locked down his commitment to the Tigers at the end of February.

“Auburn showed a lot of love. They have been the leader in my mind for a while. The coaches have been consistent, they have always recruited me hard and the four or five times I have visited, it has just felt right. I kept going back because of that feeling. My commitment date moved up, but Auburn has always been high on my list.

“Since the new staff came in, they have reached out, they have checked on me, they ask about school and they have just made sure I am good. That meant a lot. Auburn showed me they wanted me and every time I was there, it felt like home.”
