The Auburn Tigers are making serious moves on the recruiting trail, and all eyes are now on a promising young quarterback from Georgia. After offering three-star QB Gary Chatman Jr. back in April, Auburn has quickly surged to the top of his list—especially following his recent decommitment from Wake Forest.

Momentum is clearly building on the Plains. Three prominent Rivals insiders—Chad Simmons, Steve Wiltfong, and Jeffrey Lee—all submitted predictions on Friday favoring Auburn to land Chatman. According to Rivals' Recruiting Prediction Machine, that bumps the Tigers' chances to a staggering 99%. If these predictions hold true, Chatman would become the first quarterback to commit to Auburn's 2027 recruiting class.

Chatman, who hails from Brookwood High School in Gwinnett County, Georgia, is currently ranked as the No. 69 quarterback in the 2027 cycle by Rivals' Industry Rankings. He also stands as the No. 113 overall prospect from the talent-rich state of Georgia. For a program like Auburn, which has long valued strong-armed signal-callers, landing a player of Chatman's caliber early in the cycle would be a major win.

As it stands, Auburn already holds the nation's No. 17 overall recruiting class and ranks No. 4 in the SEC with five commitments, led by four-star running back Myson Johnson-Cook. Adding Chatman would not only bolster that class but also give the Tigers a cornerstone to build around for years to come. With recruiting battles heating up across the conference, this could be a pivotal moment for Auburn's future under center.
