Auburn football is one step closer to landing one of the top quarterbacks from the 2027 recruiting cycle.

Auburn has already landed a prediction to land Israel Abrams, a four-star quarterback from Lombard, Illinois, and the smoke surrounding the prediction grew thicker this week as Abrams placed Auburn in his top five alongside Miami, Florida State, Kentucky, and Purdue.

During a recent visit to Auburn for junior day, Abrams caught up with Steve Wiltfong of Rivals to share his thoughts on the program and head coach Alex Golesh. Abrams feels that Auburn is on the right path to becoming a College Football Playoff contender.

“You have to look at Auburn and what they’ve done in the past. They have everything that they need,” Abrams said. “They have a successful head coach there. He’s done multiple things at numerous amounts of programs. He just proved himself at USF. He’s bringing a big-time quarterback. They’re going to have big-time season and this will set them up for the next season with me maybe able to come in.”

Wiltfong still sees Auburn as the favorite to land Abrams, but views Purdue as the Tigers’ greatest threat. Abrams will visit Purdue this weekend and will take his official visit on May 22. Auburn will host Abrams on June 5 before he visits Florida State and Kentucky later that month. It is also expected that Miami will schedule an official visit with Abrams during the summer. Abrams has not set a commitment date, but it is expected he will name his college destination shortly after completing his official visits.

Abrams is the No. 2 quarterback in the 2027 recruiting cycle according to 247Sports, and No. 14 overall.
