The center back will lift Auburn into the top six in football

The Auburn football coaching staff, led by Hugh Freeze, is working hard to build a pipeline to the Plains from Central High School in Phenix City. The biggest push will be 5-star wide receiver Cam Coleman, who is one of the first prospects to get an offer from the Tigers under the new coaching staff, but it doesn’t stop there.

The Tigers are also pursuing one of his teammates, 3-star defensive back Rydarrius “Red” Morgan, the #558 and #56 safety in the 2024 recruiting class. He is 27th from the state of Alabama.

Earlier this week, Morgan announced that he had narrowed down his recruitment to just six schools via Twitter, leaving Auburn football to battle with rival Alabama, Mississippi State, Miami, Cincinnati and Florida State.

Although the DB had to postpone his official visit to Plains, which was set for June 12th, he has visited several other times this spring and was also on campus for a 7-on-7 tournament with his team. He officially visited Florida State on June 2 and Cincinnati on June 9 and heads to Miami this weekend.

The Auburn football coaching staff has already secured the commitment of several running backs in the 2024 recruiting class, including A’Mon Lane, Jayden Lewis and Kensley Faustin, who committed just last week. Despite the number of commitments, it’s clear Morgan is secondary coach Wesley McGriff’s top target and would be a huge building block in the Central-to-Auburn pipeline the Tigers are working to build.

Morgan, who has a great relationship with both McGriff and fellow secondary coach Zac Etheridge, plans to make his final decision on where he will play college ball at the start of his senior season this fall.
