Auburn football locks in official visit with LSU pledge Tristen Keys
Auburn football locks in official visit with LSU pledge Tristen Keys Will Auburn flip the nation's No. 1 wide receiver from LSU?
Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze is known for his ability to flip top talent away from other programs, and he will attempt to work his magic this June when he welcomes the nation's No. 1 wide receiver for an official visit.
Despite his pledge to LSU, five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys will take an official visit to Auburn beginning June 10, according to a report by Steve Wiltfong of On3. Keys spent last weekend at Miami, and will visit Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas A&M this month in addition to Auburn.
Keys last visited Auburn during Big Cat Weekend in April, and came away impressed with fellow Mississippian Deuce Knight's ability to "flip it." During a visit in January, Keys complimented Auburn's energy, which keeps the Tigers in the hunt.
'The coaches and the environment is great,' Keys said. 'It gets loud. That is something I would like as a receiver. I enjoy the coaches. Coach Davis and Coach Freeze they're my guys. They're very energetic. Coach Freeze is around a bunch of young coaches and the energy it fits me. What they're doing for Auburn is great."
Auburn's energy and his relationships with Freeze and Davis keep Auburn in the mix, but how likely is it that he will flip from LSU? Keys says that he is "locked-in" with LSU due mostly to their established supremacy in wide receiver development. Still, the door remains open for Freeze to sway his decision away from Baton Rouge during the official visit.
Keys is the top-ranked wide receiver from the 2026 cycle according to On3, 247Sports, and ESPN, and ranks as high as No. 4 in the class ranking.

‘Who Am I Sitting Next To?': NFL Star Travis Hunter Wins Hearts With Humble Airport Encounter
Travis Hunter, the Jacksonville Jaguars' No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, is making headlines for all the right reasons after a heartwarming interaction with a fellow passenger on a recent United Airlines flight. The former Colorado star and Heisman Trophy winner left a lasting impression on Sandy Hawkins Combs, who had no idea she was sitting next to a future NFL sensation until other passengers began approaching him. Combs shared her experience in a Facebook post that quickly went viral, praising Hunter for his exceptional manners and down-to-earth personality. The young athlete offered to help her with her bag, addressed her as 'ma'am,' and engaged in pleasant conversation throughout the flight. What stood out most to Combs wasn't Hunter's athletic achievements but his genuine humility and respectful demeanor, qualities that have endeared him to fans. This chance meeting between Hunter and Combs happened as she was flying home from Denver. Travis Hunter Shows MVP-Worthy Manners On Flight 'Anyone would be proud to have him as a son or grandson – so polite,' Combs wrote in her viral Facebook post. It wasn't until fellow passengers began approaching Hunter for photos that Combs realized her seatmate was someone special. 'I turned and asked him, 'Who am I sitting next to?' I looked at his Jaguar pants, smiled, and asked, 'Are you an athlete?' He smiled and said, 'I'm Travis. Yes, I was drafted by the Jags.' I already told my sons I want his jersey,' she recounted. Advertisement Hunter's impression on Combs extended beyond their brief encounter. She expressed her newfound support for the Jacksonville Jaguars, writing, 'He's so humble and down-to-earth—I would have never guessed he was a professional athlete. JACKSONVILLE JAGS, you did good! I will be buying tickets.' The Jacksonville Jaguars invested heavily to secure Hunter in the draft, trading up for the No. 2 pick by parting with the No. 5 overall pick, No. 36, No. 126, and a 2026 first-round pick. The post 'Who Am I Sitting Next To?': NFL Star Travis Hunter Wins Hearts With Humble Airport Encounter appeared first on Travel Noire.
