Auburn scored a win on the recruiting trail on Thursday, landing a commitment from Carrollton (Ga.) High cornerback Shamar Arnoux.
Arnoux had previously been committed to Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans. He joined their class this past June. But offers continued to roll in, Auburn continued to recruit him, and USC looked less and less like the place to be. Arnoux’s teammate at Carrollton, Julian Lewis, is reportedly expected to flip away from USC as well, and the Trojans lost a 4-star edge to Miami on Wednesday.
While he didn’t announce the news in his own words, Arnoux did retweet several posts confirming the decision on his personal account.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Arnoux is a 4-star recruit in the industry-generated 247 Composite. He ranks as the No. 50 recruit from the state of Georgia and the No. 35 corner in the class. In the overall player rankings, he sits at No. 378.
Arnoux’s flip comes just days after the Tigers lost a corner to Ole Miss in similar fashion. The Tigers now have 4 known commitments from cornerbacks in the 2025 cycle, with Arnoux joining 4-star Blake Woodby, 4-star Donovan Starr, and 4-star Devin Williams.
Auburn (3-6) might be struggling on the field at the moment, but coach Hugh Freeze is putting together an impressive recruiting class on the trail. Auburn has 28 known commitments, and there’s buzz the Tigers could be adding to that number in a major way ahead of the Dec. 4 early signing period. The class currently ranks No. 6 in the Composite team rankings.
