Once again, Auburn is making an effort to flip a 5-star wide receiver committed to Alabama. But once again, the Crimson Tide seems to be fending the Tigers off on the recruiting trail.

Caleb Cunningham, a 5-star receiver in the 2025 class committed to Alabama, was slated to visit Auburn this weekend for the team's 'Big Cat Weekend.' Instead, Cunningham announced on Twitter/X that he would not be attending:

Auburn was heavily involved with Cunningham prior to his commitment to Alabama, but the Mississippi native has not waivered on his commitment to the Crimson Tide.

  • Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe took the trip up to New York and met Yankees star Aaron Judge. The two even exchanged a jersey and a bat during the meetup:
  • As NFL training camps are starting up around the league, former Alabama wide receiver Jameson Williams made some big plays in the viewing period for the Detroit Lions. Williams is still trying to find his footing after being drafted in the first round in 2022.
