Auburn’s search for a second running back in the 2025 class continues, as Shekai Mills-Knight committed to Ole Miss on Saturday.
Auburn’s search for a second 2025 running back continues. Things got a bit close this week for 4-star back Shekai Mills-Knight, but he ultimately chose Ole Miss, a school he’d been considering for the majority of the summer. While Derrick Nix and Auburn are likely to continue their chase of Mills-Knight, who has been one of the top two running back targets, this also opens up and alters the board slightly moving ahead.
The Tigers have a commitment from one of their top running back prospects, Elba (Ala.) 4-star Alvin Henderson. He switched from Penn State at the end of June and has been one of the most outspoken and active recruiters since.
Now it’s time to choose someone to partner with him and shape the future of the running back room.
