In the span of just over a month Auburn has skyrocketed up the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings, and the Tigers now sit on a top-10 class.

Alex Golesh and Co. have added eight commitments in the first two weeks of June alone, elevating a class that sat outside the top-25 last month to one of the elite groups both in the SEC and the country. Their latest pledge came Sunday, when Charlotte (N.C.) four-star defensive tackle Nate Kamba added his name to the list.

His decision came after an official visit to The Plains over the weekend.

“Auburn is a great place,” Kamba told AuburnSports.com. “Small town and everybody really knows each other. It was great, it was everything. Seeing the campus, see the dorms and everything like that. See the coaches, see more of the staff. Met with all the players, all the D-line. All of them are cool, great individuals.”

The 6-foot-4, 290-pounder became the 11th blue-chip pledge for the Tigers, who sit just behind Oregon and ahead of Texas in the rankings. AU’s class also ranks No. 4 in the SEC despite only having two commitments from inside the state. Auburn also has four top-100 commitments as well, a year after not signing a single one last cycle.

With Kamba, the Tigers are now up to 18 commitments and look to be trending for a few more as well in the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM).
