Priority tight end Kaiden Protho schedules official visit to Auburn
The Auburn Tigers currently boast the No. 7 recruiting class for the 2026 cycle and hope to raise its stock by hosting several of the nation's top talent for official visits.
Hugh Freeze and his staff are on the right track as the nation's second-ranked tight end has scheduled an official visit to the Plains.
Kaiden Prothro, a four-star tight end from Bowdon, Georgia, revealed his summer official visit plans this week, which include a trip to Auburn. Prothro will visit the Plains on June 10, his third summer visit. He will begin his tour on May 30 by visiting Georgia and conclude it on June 13 with a visit to Florida. He also plans to visit Alabama on June 6.
Last November, Prothro included Auburn among his top ten schools. Auburn made a great impression on Prothro during a visit in July, which is a key reason why Freeze's program remains in the hunt.
'I feel like Auburn is a great school to be at,' Prothro told On3 last July. 'I'm always going to keep my options open. I feel like Auburn is going to be a good school in the next couple of years. I can't really say much because I'm still looking at other schools, but I think Auburn is going to be a pretty good school for me.'
In three seasons, Prothro has reeled in 99 passes for 2,250 yards and 39 touchdowns as a tight end for Bowdon High School. This season, he reached season highs in three major categories by logging 56 catches for 1,203 yards and 22 touchdowns, which played a role in Bowdon winning its third-straight state championship.
The 6-5, 210-pound tight end is the No. 2 tight end for the 2026 class according to On3's industry rankings and is Georgia's No. 6 recruit for the cycle. Georgia, Alabama, and Auburn are the top three schools in the running to land Prothro according to On3's recruiting prediction machine. Will Auburn gain ground this summer during his visit?
