The Auburn Tigers are eyeing Tae Walden, a four-star athlete, as he announces his commitment date for July 1.
Auburn has a 2.2% chance to land Walden, with Oregon currently leading at 87.7%, per On3's Recruiting Prediction Machine.
The Tigers recently committed Deshawn Hall, a four-star receiver, after Penn State had over a 90% chance to land him.
Walden's decision to forego a visit to Clemson and instead visit the Plains shows his interest in the Tigers.
He dominated as a wide receiver and cornerback, earning First-Team All-Region honors and a Region Defensive Player of the Year nod.
The Tigers' next game is against the Baylor Bears on September 5, 2026.
Walden accumulated 42 receptions for 912 yards and 10 receiving touchdowns, with 1460 all-purpose yards and 14 total touchdowns.
Defensively, he had five interceptions and 17 pass breakups, making him a valuable asset for the Tigers.
Auburn's recruiting efforts, led by Alex Golesh, will be crucial in landing Walden.
The Tigers' 2027 class is already stacked, and landing Walden could push it to the top-five classes in the country.
Walden's commitment date is highly anticipated, with the Tigers hoping to pull off another surprise.
The Plains are buzzing with excitement as the Tigers await Walden's decision.
