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.
