Four-star WR Devin Carter stands firm in commitment to Auburn football
Four-star WR Devin Carter stands firm in commitment to Auburn football Carter's reassurance is a step in the right direction for Auburn football recruiting, who needed a jolt of energy.
Recruiting noise surrounding the Auburn Tigers has been at a minimum lately as the program has landed just one commitment since April, and recently lost a four-star linebacker that caused their ranking to plummet. However, Auburn fans received good news this weekend as one of its top pledges to its 2026 class reaffirmed his commitment to the program following his recent official visit.
Devin Carter, a four-star wide receiver from Douglasville, Georgia, and an Auburn pledge since January, took his official visit to the Plains over the weekend, where he told reporters such as Jeffrey Lee of Auburn Live that he remains locked in with Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers. Carter visited Georgia, Florida State, and North Carolina officially, but says that he saved his "best visit for last" and that he remains as committed as he was when he announced his pledge in January.
'I feel the same, I'm locked in. Same as I was months ago when I committed. This was just reassurance that it's home. I had a great time here and I love it here. Coach (Marcus) Davis and his belief in me. Coach (Hugh) Freeze and his belief in me also. Just the whole coaching staff and the way they pour into me and express the way that they feel about me. They're going to use me well here and I'm going to make plays here in Jordan-Hare Stadium. We're going to be special here. And Deuce Knight, I got to workout with him last night. We went to the field and ran some routes. That's my guy. He's one of them ones. We're going to be special.'
Carter says that Knight having one year of development before he gets to campus will be vital, and it is a process that he is happy to be a part of. Carter also says that he is joining the Tigers' coaching staff as well as several top 2026 commits in recruiting four-star quarterback Landon Duckworth, who was also on the Plains for a weekend visit.
Carter is the No. 15 wide receiver of the 2026 class and is the No. 13 player from Georgia according to 247Sports. He is the second-highest rated commit to Auburn's 2026 haul, trailing four-star EDGE Hezekiah Harris.

Former MSU QB calls out Big Ten rankings that snubbed Aidan Chiles
Former MSU QB calls out Big Ten rankings that snubbed Aidan Chiles Popular college football analyst for CBS Sports Josh Pate released his top 10 quarterbacks of the Big Ten, and a former Spartans signal caller had an issue with the list. Pate's top 10 quarterbacks list for the upcoming season left off Michigan State's Aidan Chiles -- which initially grabbed my attention as surprising to see. It also was alarming to former Michigan State starting quarterback Brian Lewerke -- who took to social media platform X to call out Pate. Lewerke called out Pate's list as "not very good" and noted that his feedback wasn't just because of Chiles being snubbed. You can see Lewerke's response and Pate's top 10 list in the post below: As I said above, I also was not a fan of this rankings from Pate. In my opinion, Chiles ranks as at top 10 quarterback in the league, with the potential to be a top five quarterback should he approach his ceiling. Last year, Chiles showed inconsistency but as a first year starter that was expected from him. Ironically, Nebraska's Dylan Raiola had comparable numbers to Chiles and he was ranked as the No. 6 quarterback in Pate's list while Chiles was left off. These type of lists are not ultimately a big deal and just used for fun offseason discussion. But I enjoyed seeing a former Spartans quarterback looking out for the current guy wearing green-and-white under center.

Notre Dame visited by the sons of three former NFL players
Notre Dame visited by the sons of three former NFL players Fighting Irish could be home to Devin Fitzgerald, Kaydon Finley. Thomas Davis Jr. has already committed However your Father's Day weekend went, it probably looked different than what took place on the Notre Dame campus. The sons of three former NFL players were in South Bend visiting with the Fighting Irish. Wide receivers Devin Fitzgerald and Kaydon Finley joined Notre Dame commit Thomas Davis Jr. on campus. Fitzgerald and Finley are four-star recruits. Devin, of course, is the son of Larry Fitzgerald, who played for the Arizona Cardinals for 17 seasons. Finley is the son of Jermichael Finley, a tight end who played six years in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers. The senior Davis played 15 seasons over 16 years in the NFL -- he missed the 2010 campaign due to injury. He was with the Carolina Panthers for most of that time, but he also played with the Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Football Team (now Washington Commanders). Perhaps Davis Jr. can convince Devin Fitzgerald and Kaydon Finley to join him in South Bend.
