Auburn Football ends 2023 signing period with SEC’s No. 8 class
The first Wednesday in February was once big business in college football recruiting. The term formerly known as “signing day” has lost its luster due to a new concept called “early signing period”, which has since become the signature recruiting event.
The February date has some merit as some top signings have held signing ceremonies to declare their next step in their footballing career. Such was the case for Auburn, as one of their class’s prized commitments, four-star running back Jeremiah Cobb, officially signed his letter of intent with the Tigers alongside five of his high school teammates, who also signed with college football programs.
Now that the dust has largely settled, who got the SEC’s top recruiting class? How does Auburn compare to the rest of the conference? Here’s a look at the top SEC classes according to 247Sports.
