Auburn is starting a new era with coach Alex Golesh starting his time as the head guy after a successful run as the coach at South Florida. The Tigers have struggled in the SEC the last few seasons, and the fans are hoping this can get the team back contending in the conference, as well as making it to the College Football Playoff.
To be able to do that, the Tigers are going to have to bring in talent, especially within the state.
Quarterback Jamison Roberts is one of the best quarterbacks in the class of 2027, and he has the Tigers in his final eight teams. The other teams competing for the quarterback are Oklahoma, Duke, Ole Miss, Northwestern, Iowa, Arkansas and Kentucky.
According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Roberts is a 3-star recruit and the No. 370 player in the class. He is ranked as the No. 14 player in the class, as well as the No. 25 quarterback.
Auburn has a lot of work to do in the 2027 class, as the Tigers are currently ranked No. 53 in the country with only one commit from 3-star tight end Trae Proctor.
The Tigers have their work cut out when it comes to getting things back on track, and securing in-state talent is one of the first steps that has to be taken.
