Meet the player Auburn football, Freeze added on National Signing Day

AUBURN — As expected, only one player signed for Auburn Football’s 2023 recruiting class on National Signing Day.

That player was Montgomery Catholic four-star running back Jeremiah Cobb, who had been with the Tigers since July and finally made things official with Auburn on Wednesday. He joins a class of 18 other high school signers, all of whom made things official with Auburn during the first signing period in December.

The 5-foot-11, 185-pound Cobb is the third-highest-ranked player in the class, according to the 247Sports Composite. The only signers ranked ahead of him are defensive lineman Keldric Faulk and cornerback Kayin Lee, who left Florida State and Ohio State, respectively. Featured in the class are 10 four-star and nine three-star recruits. Cobb, four-star receiver Daquayvious Sorey and three-star quarterback Hank Brown are the only offensive additions who aren’t linemen.

Cobb is named the No. 165 player and No. 9 running back in the Class of 2023, according to the 247Sports Composite. He is the sixth player from Alabama to join the Tigers class.

A relatively quiet signing day was to be expected, as Auburn, like virtually every other program in the country, attracted the vast majority of its talent early in the signing period. With Cobb on board, the 247Sports Composite ranks Auburn’s class 17th nationally and eighth in the SEC.
