Auburn football has won many recruiting battles this summer and has spent time building up one particular position group, running back.

Auburn’s 2027 recruiting haul includes two running backs: four-star Myson Johnson-Cook and three-star Khamoni Williams. Auburn’s running back pull was recently recognized by Rivals and On3, as the Tigers hold one of the nation’s top running back classes of the 2027 recruiting cycle so far.

Williams flipped his decision from West Virginia to Auburn on June 21, joining three-star athlete Preston Williams in making a Father’s Day pledge to the Auburn Tigers. Williams was a 1,000-yard rusher as a 10th grader at Memphis Business Academy in Tennessee, and rushed for nearly 900 yards as an 11th grader. He proved to be a solid vertical threat as well by making 28 catches for 405 yards and five touchdowns last season.

Williams is the No. 42 running back in the 2027 class according to Rivals, and the No. 22 player from Tennessee. The three-star back is a consensus three-star by every major outlet and stands 5-10, 205 pounds.

Johnson-Cook is the second-highest rated commitment in Auburn’s class, trailing only defensive back Chance Gilbert. Johnson-Cook holds a four-star score of 94.27 from Rivals. The 6-1, 235-pound back is the No. 4 running back from the class and the No. 4 player from Missouri. Johnson-Cook committed to Auburn in April and is viewed as the future centerpiece of the Auburn running back room that will lose star back Jeremiah Cobb and Troy transfer Tae Meadows following the 2026 season.

Auburn football’s 2027 recruiting class ranks No. 13 in the nation currently, according to Rivals, and No. 6 in the SEC.
