Auburn is in need of some new wideouts in 2023.

The Tigers have struggled at the position for a couple of seasons now, and Hugh Freeze is doing his best to bring in some fresh talent while keeping some of the production that's currently on the roster.

The 2024 class already features five-star Perry Thompson, who Auburn flipped from Alabama earlier this year. Four-stars Bryce Cain and Malcolm Simmons are also committed.

However, there are a couple of massive potential additions that Auburn could flip from SEC schools over the next few weeks.

Here's the best-case scenario for Auburn if they land all of the receivers they want.

Perry Thompson, Five-star (No. 6 WR)

Thompson flipped from Alabama back in July and gave Auburn their first five-star commit since the 2019 recruiting class. The No. 32 overall prospect is a big, physical receiver with a large catch radius. Just how Freeze likes his receivers.

Auburn desperately needs some height and aggression on the outside, and Thompson provides that.

Ryan Williams, Five-star (No. 1 WR)

Williams is currently committed to Alabama, but Auburn is pushing Williams and could be in position to flip him away from the Tide as well within the next few weeks.

He's the No. 1 receiver in the nation and provides insane speed and elusiveness. This is a surefire first-round receiver that would be a demon in Freeze's offense.

Cam Coleman, Five-star (No. 3 WR)

It surprised everyone when Coleman committed to Texas A&M in the summer, but now that A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher is out of the picture, Auburn is right back in the race for Coleman.

We could see a flip coming soon from Coleman, a tall vertical threat that is compared to former Georgia receiver George Pickens.

Bryce Cain, Four-star (No. 33 WR)

Cain has risen in the rankings since his commitment to Auburn. The elite route runner from Baker High School (Mobile, AL) showed off great hands and coordination during a camp at Auburn in the summer.

He may get overlooked because of the high-end talent the Tigers may pull, but Cain is smooth and possesses track speed.

Malcolm Simmons, Four-star (No. 16 ATH)

Criminally underrated. That's what Malcolm Simmons is.

He's a track star, but Simmons also has hops. He was 6A state champion as a junior in both high and long jump.

The six-foot 165-pound athlete/wide receiver chose the Tigers over Arkansas, Georgia Tech, and West Virginia.
