BREAKING: Auburn 4-star IOL commit Kail Ellis reclassifies to 2025 class
Four-star interior offensive lineman Kail Ellis has reclassified to the 2025 class and will sign with Auburn in December.
Ellis, who attends Cass High School in Canton, Ga., announced his plans Sunday on social media.
“Auburn, myself and my family feel like it gives me the best opportunity to achieve what I’m trying to achieve,” Ellis said. “God has blessed me with an incredible opportunity to play this game, so why not come in early learn from the veteran guys and work my butt off to fight for a job?”
Ellis also talked with Auburn coach Hugh Freeze and offensive line coach Jake Thornton before making the decision.
“After talking it over with Coach Thornton and Coach Freeze, this is the right decision,” he said.

It also did not hurt that the Tigers recently received a commitment from four-star quarterback Deuce Knight.
“With the current 2025 class of linemen and now with Deuce coming, I can’t wait to be his center,” Ellis said.
