Auburn football 2025 snapshot profile: Alvin Henderson Auburn freshman running back Alvin Henderson looks to turn a successful high school career into a great college career
For the past two seasons, the Tigers' run game was led by Jarquez Hunter. In 2024, he rushed for 1,201 yards and eight touchdowns. Over his career at Auburn, Hunter rushed for a total of 3,371 yards and 25 touchdowns. He ranks fourth all-time for the Tigers behind Bo Jackson, Carnell "Cadillac" Williams, and James Brooks. Auburn has to find a new featured running back.
Auburn returns Damari Alston and Jeremiah Cobb to the team and welcomes UConn transfer Durell Robinson. One of the Tigers' top recruits from the 2025 class is Alvin Henderson. He played high school football in Elba, Alabama, where he was the AHSAA all-time leading rusher. Henderson is the first high school running back in Alabama to rush for over 10,000 yards. He helped lead a very successful run for the Elba Tigers. Under head coach Marc Sieving, the Tigers went 45-7 with two appearances in the state semi-finals.
Henderson is a talented running back and will have to wait his turn to be the featured running back at Auburn. It will be an interesting storyline to see how he develops as a player, going from 1A football to the SEC.
Here's a look at Alvin Henderson's snapshot profile for the 2025 season.

Auburn Staying In Race for 5-Star WR Coveted By Alabama
Auburn Staying In Race for 5-Star WR Coveted By Alabama originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Having grown up in a state where the rivalry is everything, Cederian Morgan is well aware of the feud between the Auburn Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide. The five-star receiver from Alexander City, Ala., is being courted by both. Advertisement He paid Auburn one final visit last weekend. His comments after the trip should excite Hugh Freeze's program. 'Know all the coaches, all the players,' Morgan told 247Sports on Sunday. 'They all know my family. I've been up here probably a million times.' Tigers quarterback Deuce Knight, the No. 6 passer in 247Sports' Class of 2025 rankings, wants to team up with Morgan during the coming seasons. 'They've definitely been on me. Deuce has been on me the most, though,' Morgan told Rivals. 'I know Deuce is a great quarterback who can give me the ball however I need it, so that'll be a big plus for me.' Advertisement Auburn has a deep stable of pass-catchers, including Cam Coleman, but that's not a drawback for Morgan, who's second on 247Sports' Class of 2026 receivers list. LSU commit Tristen Keys is the only wideout ahead of him. 2026 five-star wide receiver prospect Cederian Morgan© Ken Ruinard - staff / USA TODAY NETWORK 'It's really anywhere I go, nobody's going to give up their spot,' Morgan said. 'So you got to go out there and work for it. I feel like with their receiver room, you come here, it's going to make you work even harder. I know all the guys outside of football. We're cool, got a very good connection. I just feel like on the field it's going to be even better. We're going to push each other to surpass each other and stuff like that.' Kalen DeBoer and his program have one more chance to impress Morgan on his official visit to Tuscaloosa next week. He'll decide on his destination on July 2, choosing between Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, and Colorado.

Auburn QB Deuce Knight is leading the recruiting push for five-star WR Cederian Morgan
Auburn QB Deuce Knight is leading the recruiting push for five-star WR Cederian Morgan There is no greater factor in Auburn's pursuit of Cederian Morgan than freshman QB Deuce Knight. Auburn football is aiming to land the No. 1 player from Alabama in the 2026 cycle, and it is using its prized freshman quarterback as its weapon. Five-star wide receiver Cederian Morgan took his official visit to Auburn over the weekend, where he spent time with current players and worked on developing his connection to wide receivers coach Marcus Davis and head coach Hugh Freeze. Freeze and Davis have been active in recruiting Morgan for quite some time; however, the recruiter who has been on Morgan "the most" is freshman quarterback Deuce Knight. "I know Deuce (Knight) is a great quarterback who can give me the ball however I need it, so that'll be a big plus for me. I think if I did come, I'm probably going to get a year with Deuce, two years with Deuce, something like that, and then it'll be next up," Morgan said in an interview with Auburn Undercover. "So kind of both. Looking to who's here in my class and what other players in my class are going to be here, because our junior and maybe senior year, that's who we're really going to be, the team is going to be around." According to both 247Sports and On3, Auburn and Alabama are the top contenders for Morgan ahead of his July 2 commitment date. According to his quote to Auburn Undercover, Auburn's recruiting haul may be the deciding factor in whether he comes to the Plains. Auburn is currently No. 55 in the 247Sports 2026 rankings, so a few commitments from strong offensive weapons could ultimately sway him to Auburn.

Five takeaways from LSU baseball's College World Series win vs. UCLA
Five takeaways from LSU baseball's College World Series win vs. UCLA In a game that spanned two days, LSU baseball beat UCLA on Tuesday and now the Tigers are one win away from a return to the College World Series final. LSU vs. UCLA originally began on Tuesday night. But after three innings, a lengthy weather delay forced a suspension until Tuesday morning, where the game picked up in the top of the fourth inning. Anthony Eyanson got the start on Monday night, but the weather cut his start short. Eyanson allowed three runs in the first inning before settling in and pitching scoreless frames in the second and third. LSU would have liked to get more from its star pitcher, but the rain had other plans. When the game resumed on Tuesday, Jay Johnson went to Casan Evans, LSU's clear No. 3 arm. Evans delivered, pitching 4.1 innings, striking out five, and allowing just two runs. Evans allowed four hits, but didn't issue a single walk. It was a good 24 hours for the LSU offense, too. The Tigers scored four runs in the bottom of the first and scored again in the third on Monday. On Tuesday, LSU picked up right where it left off, scoring two runs in the fourth. The Tigers added insurance late in the game to give the bullpen breathing room. This was LSU's sixth all-time meeting with the Bruins, a series LSU now leads 4-2. Here are five takeaways from LSU baseball's win vs. UCLA. 1. LSU slugger Jared Jones comes up clutch With UCLA leading early on Monday night, Jared Jones stepped to the plate with two runners on. Jones was coming off a 0-5 in LSU's win vs. Arkansas. Jones stayed back after LSU practice on Sunday to get in some extra work and have a one-on-one conversation with head coach Jay Johnson. It looked like that work paid off. Jones muscled a ball over the right field wall and gave LSU the lead with a three-run homer. When the game picked up on Tuesday, Jones was at it again. LSU's first baseman came up with a clutch RBI single in the bottom of the eighth to give LSU insurance. Jones finished the game with two hits, four RBI, and a walk. 2. Casan Evans continues to emerge Casan Evans is emerging as one of the best pitchers in the sport. The freshman righty has elite stuff. And in the NCAA Tournament, he's found a different gear. Evans is far and away LSU's most reliable reliever. Jay Johnson faced a choice when the game resumed on Tuesday. Go right to Evans or save his arm for a potential double-header with Arkansas later on Tuesday? Johnson decided it was best to do what it takes to get the win. That meant giving the ball to Evans. Evans delivered, pitching 4.2 innings and allowing just two earned runs. He struck out five and didn't issue a walk. In 11.2 innings this postseason, Evans has allowed just three earned runs with a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 18/3. The freshman has proven ready for the big moment and is an emerging star in college baseball. 3. Chase Shores continues to gain trust With the bases loaded in the eighth inning and the go-ahead run at the plate, Jay Johnson turned to Chase Shores. The big righty began the year in LSU's rotation but was moved to the bullpen after inconsistent outings. Inconsistency followed Shores into the pen, but a light came on for Shores in the super regional. Shores struck out three in 1.1 innings vs. West Virginia and delivered a scoreless inning vs. Arkansas. On Tuesday, all it took was one pitch for Shores to get out of the bases-loaded jam. In the ninth, Shores closed it out with a perfect inning. LSU was always going to need a bullpen arm to step up. It takes more than three pitchers to win in Omaha. It looks like Shores is becoming LSU's next best high-leverage option behind Evans. 4. LSU put the ball in play UCLA's pitching staff doesn't rely on strikeouts. LSU took advantage of that, only striking out seven times vs. the Bruins. When you put the ball in play, good things happen. Look no further than Daniel Dickinson's bloop single in the seventh inning. Dickinson has struggled so far in Omaha, but he got just enough of a pitch for the ball to fall in right field, giving LSU another run. LSU has been too reliant on the home run ball at times in 2025. That hasn't been the case in Omaha with the Tigers finding other ways to score. LSU is getting on base and putting the bat on the ball. 5. LSU avoids double-header If LSU had lost, the Tigers would have played a double-header vs. Arkansas just hours later. The Razorbacks are arguably the most talented team in the tournament and are riding high after Gage Wood threw a no-hitter vs. Murray State on Monday. With Anderson, Eyanson, and Evans all burned, LSU would have faced trouble vs. the Razorbacks on Tuesday. Especially with how fresh Arkansas' rotation is after Wood's complete game. Now, LSU doesn't have to worry about that. UCLA gets the privilege of facing Arkansas on Tuesday night while LSU gets to rest.
