In a stunning development for Auburn football, 5-star cornerback has officially announced his commitment to join the Tigers, choosing them over powerhouse programs like Ohio State and Georgia. This commitment is a major coup for Auburn’s recruiting efforts as they continue to build a top-tier defense under head coach Hugh Freeze.
Igbinosun, a highly sought-after talent from the 2025 class, has been a standout on the recruiting trail, with his dynamic skills in coverage and his ability to make plays in the secondary making him one of the most highly-rated cornerbacks in the nation. Standing at 6-foot-1 and possessing a rare combination of size, speed, and athleticism, Igbinosun has the tools to be a shutdown corner at the next level. His commitment to Auburn is seen as a significant win for the program, bolstering their defensive backfield for years to come.
The decision came down to a fierce battle between three of college football’s most storied programs—Ohio State, Georgia, and Auburn. Both Ohio State and Georgia were considered strong contenders, with Igbinosun having made multiple visits to each campus. However, after careful consideration and weighing the coaching staffs, facilities, and the potential to play early in his career, the Newark, New Jersey native ultimately chose to join the Tigers.
Auburn fans are thrilled by this commitment, as Igbinosun is expected to immediately contribute to the team’s defensive efforts. His ability to lock down receivers and his ball-hawking instincts make him a perfect fit for the Tigers’ aggressive defensive schemes. Additionally, Igbinosun’s decision adds even more momentum to Auburn’s strong 2025 recruiting class, as Freeze and his staff continue to attract elite talent to the Plains.
As Igbinosun takes his talents to Auburn, he will look to leave a lasting legacy as one of the best cornerbacks to ever wear the Auburn uniform, helping elevate the Tigers back to prominence on the national stage.
