In a major recruiting victory, Auburn football has secured the commitment of five-star athlete Kalel Mullings, one of the most dynamic and versatile playmakers in the 2025 recruiting class. Mullings, a highly coveted prospect, chose Auburn over top programs including Texas, Alabama, and Georgia, solidifying the Tigers’ reputation as a formidable force in recruiting under head coach Hugh Freeze.
Mullings, a 6’2″, 225-pound standout from Milton, Massachusetts, is a two-way star who has excelled as both a linebacker and running back. Known for his elite athleticism, physicality, and leadership on the field, Mullings has the potential to make an immediate impact at the collegiate level. While his future position remains flexible, Auburn’s coaching staff envisions him as a game-changing presence on defense, capable of shutting down opposing offenses with his speed, instincts, and hard-hitting style.
In his commitment announcement, Mullings highlighted Auburn’s family-oriented atmosphere and his belief in the program’s upward trajectory. “Auburn feels like home,” Mullings said. “Coach Freeze and his staff showed me how much they believe in me, not just as a player but as a person. I’m ready to give my all for the Tigers and help bring championships back to The Plains.”
The announcement has sparked excitement among Auburn fans, who see Mullings as a cornerstone of their 2025 recruiting class. His decision marks another significant win for Hugh Freeze, who has made it a priority to bring in elite talent to compete with SEC powerhouses.
Mullings’ commitment is particularly significant as it comes at the expense of Texas, a program that had been heavily favored in his recruitment. The Longhorns had pitched Mullings on the opportunity to be a centerpiece of their defense, but Auburn’s persistence and vision for his role ultimately won out.
With Mullings now in the fold, Auburn continues to climb the recruiting rankings and build a roster capable of contending for SEC and national titles. The Tigers’ 2025 class is shaping up to be one of their best in recent memory, and Mullings’ versatility and leadership will undoubtedly be key to their success.
For Auburn fans, the future is looking brighter than ever, and with Kalel Mullings in orange and blue, championship dreams feel closer to reality.
