Alabama 5-star WR commit Caleb Cunningham cancels Auburn visit
Ackerman (Miss.) five-star wide receiver and Alabama commit Caleb Cunningham was initially set to visit Ole Miss on Friday before heading to Auburn on Saturday for Big Cat Weekend.
Cunningham is still expected in Oxford, but has canceled his trip to the Plains.
“I will not be at Big Cat this weekend!” Cunningham wrote on social media.
Despite the planned visits, Cunningham told BamaOnLine last week that his commitment status remains unchanged.
“Shoot, I’m locked in, for real. I’m not going anywhere,” Cunningham told BamaOnLine. “I might take other visits just to have fun and get out of the house, but I’m definitely really committed to Bama. I’m not going anywhere, for sure. People can talk, but I know I’m locked in. I’m not going anywhere.”
Cunningham is also expected to visit Tuscaloosa on Sunday for Alabama’s cook-out event.
“Really, building a relationship with them,” Cunningham said of his upcoming visit. “It’s always good to start building that relationship up with your future teammates in your class. Just chopping it up with them. Things like that.”
Caleb Cunningham Recruit Profile
Cunningham is the nation’s No. 14 overall prospect, No. 2 wide receiver and No. 1 recruit from Mississippi in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
On3’s Scouting and Rankings team writes this about him as a prospect.
“Bouncy outside receiver with the upside to become a skilled ball-winner. Measured at a shade 6-foot-2, 180 pounds with 32-inch arms and 9-inch hands prior to his senior season. Moves well at his size on film. Shows the ability to come down with catches in contested situations. Hangs in the air to come down with acrobatic grabs. Naturally coordinated and can locate the football at its highest point. Also shows some ability to make defenders miss after the catch. Increased his production as a junior, catching 48 passes for 1,138 yards and 14 touchdowns.
“Doubles as a fantastic high school basketball player, who has perhaps the best dunk reel among 2025 football prospects. Lives above the rim, throwing down electric dunks with regularity. Has considerable natural ability but will need to hone his technical skill at the position over the final few years of high school football, including expanding his route tree. Older for the cycle, turning 19 years-old as a senior. Has considerable upside with continued technical development.”
