Nation’s No. 1 Quarterback Recruit For 2025 Stuns Fans With Auburn Tigers Commitment- Snubs Powerhouses Like Ohio State, Georgia and LSU…
In a stunning turn of events, Deuce Knight, the nation’s top-ranked quarterback for the 2025 recruiting class, has committed to the Auburn Tigers, choosing them over elite programs such as Ohio State, Georgia, and LSU. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound dual-threat quarterback from George County High School in Lucedale, Mississippi, made headlines with his decision, signaling a new era for Auburn football under head coach Hugh Freeze.
Knight’s recruitment had been closely followed by several top-tier programs, with many vying for his commitment. Initially committed to Notre Dame, Knight decommitted in October 2024 and visited Auburn multiple times before making his final decision. His commitment adds to Auburn’s already strong 2025 recruiting class, solidifying their position as a national contender.
Auburn’s coaching staff played a pivotal role in Knight’s decision. The Tigers’ offensive scheme, which emphasizes a dynamic and versatile quarterback, aligned perfectly with Knight’s skill set. His ability to extend plays with his legs and make accurate throws on the run made him a coveted prospect for Auburn’s system.
Knight’s commitment is expected to have a ripple effect, potentially influencing other top recruits to consider Auburn as their college destination. His decision underscores the Tigers’ growing prominence in the college football landscape and their ability to attract elite talent.
