Four-star safety Craig Tutt raves about recent Auburn visit, has Tigers in top-three The Tigers are now in a three-way race for Craig Tutt after a successful visit to the Plains.
A four-star cornerback from Tennessee is raving about his recent visit to Auburn.
Craig Tutt, a four-star cornerback from Oakland High School in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, recently paid a visit to Auburn and came away impressed with what he experienced. Tutt, like several recent visitors, had no idea what to expect before visiting the Plains, but learned quickly that Auburn is a special place.
"Oh man, it's amazing," Tutt said in an interview with Auburn Undercover. "It's completely not what I expected — it's actually more than I expected it to be. I'm excited that I got a chance to come down here and explore it all. Some things that stood out to me were Coach Freeze is very into the recruits. Even though we were here at like 10 o'clock last night and he's up here chilling with us, taking pictures and stuff like that. It's like a family here. I know none of the players here, but they welcomed me with open arms, just helping me with whatever I need. Coaches being a family here and just pushing that all on me that it's a family here, and that's true."
Tutt has now placed Auburn in his top three following his visit, joining Ole Miss and in-state program Tennessee. Tutt has visited Tennessee and Auburn, and will conclude his official tour on June 20 at Ole Miss before making an important decision regarding his future.
Tutt tells Auburn Undercover that he does not have a timeline for a commitment, and that he will visit Auburn during the season. Tutt is looking for a program that values family and relationships, and a program that will allow him to earn his spot on the field. Auburn appears to check all of the boxes.
Auburn's 2026 recruiting class ranks No. 52 according to 247Sports following the recent decommitment of four-star linebacker JaMichael Garrett. Hugh Freeze will look to boost his defensive back haul this cycle, and Tutt would be a valued addition.
