Auburn named a finalist for four-star LB Anthony Davis, commitment date is set
One of the top linebackers from Georgia is ready to announce his commitment, and the Auburn Tigers are among the top programs that remain in the hunt.
Anthony Davis, a four-star linebacker from Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia, announced this week that he will choose between four schools on Saturday, Aug. 2. Auburn, along with Alabama, Michigan, and Ole Miss, remain in the mix to land Davis ahead of his August commitment date.
Davis recently spoke on his top four with Chad Simmons of Rivals. When it comes to Auburn, Davis says that he has felt comfortable on the Plains every single time he has visited.
'I have been (to Auburn) 1,000 times, and when you visit somewhere that much, it starts to feel like home," Davis said. "I have seen a lot of different things at Auburn, and there is a lot that I like.'
Auburn is hoping to strike gold with Davis. Grayson High School has produced numerous outstanding athletes who have achieved success in college, and the 2026 cycle will not be an exception. The Tigers have missed out on one Grayson Ram this cycle, quarterback Travis Burgess, and hope to bounce back by bringing Davis in to its 2026 class.
Where do the Tigers stand ahead of Davis' commitment date? According to Rivals, Auburn has a 34% chance to land Davis, leading Alabama, which stands at 20.9%. He visited Auburn early in the official visit window, paying a visit to the Plains on May 30, and he has visited Auburn more than any other school on the list by checking in eight times.
Davis is a 6-1, 205-pound linebacker from Loganville, Georgia. He is the No. 17 linebacker according to On3's Industry Ranking, and is the No. 28 player from the state of Georgia for the 2026 cycle.

Auburn's claim of 7 football titles is a throwback to a flawed system. Don't blame the Tigers
Not so long ago, in a land not so far away, what sounds like a fairy tale was reality. An SEC team won every game it played. It beat four top 15 teams. Only two wins came by single digits. The BCS computers said, 'Thanks, but no thanks,' and tapped undefeated USC and Oklahoma teams to play for the national title. Advertisement That was 2004. Two decades later, Auburn is — why now? who knows! — rewriting history. Tuesday, it announced plans to recognize that 2004 team as a national champion, one of seven new titles the program will now commemorate. With one decision, it also added national championships 1910, 1913, 1914, 1958, 1983 and 1993, taking it from two to nine all time. It might be absurd. But I say let Auburn cook. College football has never made sense. It's never been fair that a team can win every game on its schedule and not get to compete for a national title on the field. It's infuriating. It's unlike other sports. It'll likely never happen again after the College Football Playoff expanded from four teams to 12, a new world from the two-team BCS National Championship Game that locked out Auburn 21 years ago. Auburn's decision Tuesday harkens back to a bygone era of the sport, where national championships could routinely be claimed and disputed. Ironically, in 2017, Auburn failed to end UCF's undefeated season in the Peach Bowl, which gave the Knights the impetus to controversially hang '2017 National Champions' signage in the Bounce House after the season. Auburn, welcome to the club. 'For too long, Auburn has chosen a humble approach to our program's storied history — choosing to only recognize Associated Press National Championships,' athletic director John Cohen said. 'Starting this fall, we have made the decision to honor the accomplishments of our deserving student-athletes, coaches, and teams from Auburn's proud history.' The 2004 team, led by future first-round picks Jason Campbell, Ronnie Brown and Cadillac Williams, could make a case. Not all of the seven new titles are as legitimate. In 1993, Terry Bowden led the Tigers to an undefeated season, but the program was under NCAA sanctions and unrecognized by the coaches' poll and bowl games. It ranked fourth in the AP Top 25. Advertisement I'll begrudgingly allow it. The 1910 Auburn team, which went 6-1, was named champion by the Maxwell Ratings and College Football Rankings. It's important to note that neither of these rankings existed at the time. They're run by Loren Maxwell and Kyle Matschke. They are not grizzled pre-World War I college football sickos who died decades ago. They're men living in 2025 who built ratings systems and crowned retroactive champions. Now, a school is recognizing them. The same is true of the Howell Ratings System, which gave Auburn the 1914 title. Auburn lost a game in 1910. Champion Pitt did not. It tied a game in 1914. Champion Army was unbeaten and untied. But a sport with no one in charge has no mechanisms to prevent teams from claiming titles out of thin air. And while the legitimacy of Auburn's titles is questionable, it's not like those teams went head to head. There's at least some debate, even if it's being spawned by ratings models decades later. It's all silly, but credit to Auburn for recognizing it and giving their program more things to celebrate and honor from the past. Don't hate the player. Hate the game. Alabama fans — so long as no one takes a closer look at the dubious claims behind many of their 18 titles — will laugh. So will fans of other rivals like Georgia. Anyone associated with Auburn should ignore the complaints and derision and join the parade. Hundreds of players from the proudest teams in Auburn history are more revered than they were yesterday. Ultimately, that's what this is about. That and making Jordan-Hare Stadium feel a little cooler and more historic. Come and take the signage down. Try it. They'll just put it back up again. Auburn got a little prouder on Tuesday. And there's nothing anybody can do to change that. Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Play today's puzzle

Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Jaylen Mbakwe
One of the top overall athletes on the Alabama Crimson Tide's roster, Jaylen Mbakwe is certainly an intriguing name to monitor as we enter the 2025 season. A former top recruit, Mbakwe is making a position change during his second season with the Crimson Tide this fall, moving from the defensive side of the ball to offense. With this, Mbakwe moves from cornerback to wide receiver. Playing both ways in high school as well, wide receiver is a position that Mbakwe has past experience in, leaving reason to believe that the former in-state star could certainly make an impact for the Crimson Tide offensive this season. An intriguing player on the Crimson Tide's roster, here is everything you need to know about Alabama wide receiver Jaylen Mbakwe entering the 2025 season. Jaylen Mbakwe player information Position: Wide Receiver Jersey Number: No. 3 Height: 5'11 Weight: 190 Class: Sophomore Hometown: Clay, Alabama High School: Clay-Chalkville Jaylen Mbakwe career stats Mbakwe is entering his second season at Alabama this fall, as well as his first on the offensive side of the ball. Last season, Mbakwe appeared in 12 games for the Crimson Tide where he had 15 tackles, one TFL, one interception, and two PD, while also returning two punts for 46 yards, as well as a kickoff for 15 yards. Jaylen Mbakwe 2024 stats As mentioned previously, Mbakwe saw action for the Crimson Tide a year ago as a true freshman with 15 tackles, one TFL, one interception, and two PD across 12 games. Mbakwe also saw time on special teams where he had two punt returns for 46 yards, as well as a kick return for 15 yards. Jaylen Mbakwe recruiting ranking According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Mbakwe was considered as the nation's No. 12 overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, as well as the No. 2 cornerback nationally. A five-star prospect, Mbakwe committed to the Crimson Tide in July 2022, and was rated as the No. 3 player in the state of Alabama out of in-state Clay-Chalkville High School. Jaylen Mbakwe 2025 season outlook Similar to his freshman season, Mbakwe is likely to make an impact for the Crimson Tide in 2025, but in what exact role could that be? Entering the season, Mbakwe does not currently project as one of Alabama's starting wide receivers, but is however among the top backup options. One of the top athletes on Alabama's roster, Mbakwe should see action throughout the season at receiver, as well as on special teams, and could potentially emerge into a larger role offensively as the season goes along. Overall, expect to see a lot of Mbakwe once again this season, but for the former five-star prospect to likely not rank among Alabama's top two-to-three leading receivers. Jaylen Mbakwe 2025 season prediction 2025 Prediction: 15 receptions, 200 yards, 2 TD, 5 kick/punt returns, 50 yards Contact/Follow us @RollTideWire on X, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Alabama news, notes and opinion.

Why Auburn is completely justified in claiming 4 more national titles
The Auburn Tigers just closed the gap on the University of Alabama in the national title debate, and they didn't have to take a single snap to do it. Claiming four new national titles in one swoop, in the year 2025, has to rank as Auburn's greatest victory since the Kick Six. Thing is, based on the precedent already set down by that school across the state, Auburn is completely justified in claiming most, if not necessarily all four of the new titles. What's good for the Tide is good for the Tigers, after all. 'For too long, Auburn has chosen a humble approach to our program's storied history — choosing to recognize only Associated Press national championships,' Auburn athletic director John Cohen told On3 in announcing the new title windfall. Two banners, for the 1957 and 2010 seasons, hang in Jordan-Hare Stadium, and prior to this week the Tigers also acknowledged the 1913, 1983 and 1993 seasons as meeting national championship qualifications. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Effective immediately, Auburn will now claim the 1910, 1914, 1958 and 2004 seasons as national championship ones, because, as Cohen notes, the Tigers' recognitions 'now align with the well-established standard used by the NCAA's official record book and our peers across the nation.' Auburn can justify the new rings on two fronts: first, because pre-21st-century college football was a chaotic nest of competing rankings and ad hoc justifications, and second, because Alabama already went there. Reason #1: Nobody knows anything The Tigers are taking advantage of 20th century college football's inherent absurdity. Then as now, the soul of college football lies in argument, the furious and fiery debate over unanswerable questions of strength and worth. But for all the good that the College Football Playoff and its predecessor postseason series have brought the game, they've robbed us of the debate of which team really would've come out on top in a winner-take-all matchup. When you determine your postseason rankings via polls rather than games, there's ample room for debate … and ample territory to claim championships on your own a century after the fact. Multiple contemporaneous and after-the-fact polls have attempted to make sense of college football's anything-goes era, some with far more statistical rigor and validity than others. Still, finding a poll that breaks your way is like finding a $100 bill on the ground; you might not be entitled to it, but you're going to keep it anyway. Auburn does have history in its corner. The Auburn of the 1910s was a fearsome unit, led by a diminutive Irishman named Mike Donahue and featuring players with spectacular names like Fatty Warren, Baby Taylor and Moon Ducote. In the three national championship seasons Auburn now claims, the Tigers won 22 games, lost one and tied one. Auburn and Alabama weren't playing at that time due to hard feelings on both sides, which was good news for the Tide, a mediocre 15-11 over the same stretch. The 1958 team played under a total blackout — no television, no bowl appearances — but still managed to go 9-0-1. That was only good enough for fourth in the final rankings, behind LSU (10-0), Iowa (7-1-1), and Army (8-0-1). The 2004 team went 13-0 but was not included in the two-team BCS, losing out on a berth by mere percentage points to USC and Oklahoma. Auburn and Oklahoma were tied going into the regular season's final week, but because Auburn didn't beat Alabama badly enough in the Iron Bowl, winning by 'only' eight points, Oklahoma moved ahead only to get shellacked by USC in the Orange Bowl. (Incidentally, I cover all this in my new — and apparently already dated — book Iron In The Blood: How the Alabama vs. Auburn Rivalry Shaped the Soul of the South, on sale next Tuesday. Feel free to correct the appropriate passages by hand.) Reason #2: Alabama did it first If you're mad at Auburn for claiming four new titles, you might want to reserve a good measure of your scorn for their rival. Back in the 1980s, an Alabama sports information director went diving in the record books and in one swoop, awarded Alabama five pre-Bear Bryant-era titles. These range from defensible and acceptable to absurd, like the 1941 season where Alabama went 9-2 and finished 20th (!) in the AP poll … but ranked No. 1, tied with Minnesota, in a single, much smaller poll. Nothing Auburn did Tuesday is anywhere near as egregious as that, and yet the 1941 team remains canonized on Alabama's Walk of Champions in front of Bryant-Denny Stadium. Now, granted, there's the question of an incredibly slippery slope here. If Auburn is going to claim a national title for 2004, why can't Utah — which also went undefeated at 12-0 — also claim one? Why couldn't 2017 Central Florida or 2023 Florida State, which, like 2004 Auburn, were both left out of the postseason dance despite going undefeated? For that matter, why can't Alabama claim the 1966 title and jump up to 19? That season, Alabama went 11-0 with six shutouts, but finished behind two teams — Notre Dame and Michigan State — that went 9-0-1 and played to a tie in late November. The suspicion, then and now, was that pollsters of the day were punishing the Crimson Tide for the state of Alabama's woeful record on civil rights in the turbulent 1960s. (Politics and sports have always intertwined.) Yes, Auburn's ring-grab could well set off a new wave of schools retroactively seeking to claim national titles won by their great-grandfathers. We could see new banners hanging in stadiums all across the country as enterprising researchers whip up dissertation-length justifications for why their school deserves titles from the days before cars or TV. But so what? We now have in place a means of determining, once and for all, a season's indisputable national champion. And as college football sins go, a bit of reapportioned valor ranks pretty low on the list. We've got to hold onto something to argue about, after all.
