Auburn football won the battle against archrival Alabama for the pledge of three-star wide receiver Cedrick Simmons in June. However, it appears the battle for Simmons’ signature on signing day is far from over.
Steve Wiltfong of Rivals submitted a prediction on Tuesday, favoring Alabama to flip Simmons from Auburn. The forecast now puts Alabama ahead in Simmons’ recruitment at 57%, compared to Auburn’s 41%.
Simmons chose Auburn over the Crimson Tide on June 23, committing to Auburn the same day as Prattville wide receiver Dashawn Hall. His decision was hard to predict as neither Rivals nor 247Sports had an idea where he would commit heading into the day.
Auburn has hauled in two other wide receivers for its 2027 recruiting class in addition to Simmons, both of whom rank higher than Simmons in Rivals’ position rankings. Dashawn Hall is the No. 29 receiver in the class, and Brylan Odur is No. 61, compared to Simmons, who is No. 81 among 2027 wide receivers. The Tigers also have a solid young receiver class that includes Dashawn Spencer, Sam Turner, Bryce Cain, Brady Marchese, and Jeremiah Koger, who are all sophomores or freshmen ahead of the 2026 season.
Auburn football’s 2027 recruiting class ranks No. 12 in Rivals’ rankings and No. 6 among SEC teams as of Tuesday with 26 commitments.
