Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers not only gathered a nail-biting 43-41 overtime win against Texas A&M in Week 13 but also cracked a big puzzle off the field. A week ago, the No. 1 cornerback in the 2025 class, Na’eem Offord, was on campus for this thrilling game, and Auburn’s chances to take him under Ohio State and Ryan Day‘s nose are looking better than ever.

A few days ago, adding fuel to the fire on the On3 recruit, Steve Wiltfong dropped some juicy news, saying that Auburn’s in a prime position. “My On3 RPM reflects that now. I logged the prediction in favor of Auburn this morning after talking to multiple sources—Offord’s family and folks who spent time with him on Saturday. It’s all trending Auburn’s way.”

While it’s not a surprise because his presence for Auburn’s game against the Aggies marked his fourth visit to the program, and apparently he was awestruck by the way the Tigers crushed the Aggies. “At Auburn, that was the wildest game I’ve been to. It was crazy. That was my first time rushing the field,” Offord said after the game.

Moreover, as per Steve Wiltfong’s crystal ba*l, Offord’s got a 74.3% chance to bid farewell to OSU and join hands with Auburn. He committed to Ohio State back in February, but because he had been flirting with the Tigers, they had a high chance of landing his commitment. If Freeze and Auburn can afford it, it’ll be a massive boost to their 2025 class that’s already ranked 5th nationally with 27 commits. Moving forward, as we’re heading towards the early signing day, the most loyal fans of Auburn are giving a last-minute push to Offord.

Auburn fans are excited about Na’eem Offord’s signing day

So basically, Na’eem Offord posted a series of pictures on his Instagram a few days ago. These pictures are from one of those practice sessions, during which the linebacker is playing on the field. But the moment you open the comment box under this post, you’ll go mad realizing how badly these Auburn fans want Offord to flip his commitment to the Tigers.

What’s your perspective on:

Can Auburn Tigers snatch Na’eem Offord from Ohio State and change their fortunes for 2025?

Have an interesting take?

He’s a tiger,” one fan wrote. Wait for a bit, pal. Your guy is going nowhere, but you have to wait for a few days now to know his final decision. Then there’s another Auburn fan who wrote, “Come to Auburn and help bring us back to what we know we can be.” Currently, the Auburn Tigers are holding a 2-6 record in the conference and a 5-7 overall record this season.

Moreover, the Tigers are freshly out of an Iron Bowl loss to Alabama. The 14-28 Iron Bowl loss made head coach Hugh Freeze build an even stronger team for his 2025 class. With that, Na’eem Offord’s comment section is full of war eagle emojis and Tigers’ from the fans who want this kid by their side. Last but not least, a 3-star TE from the Auburn Tigers also commented under his post, “Come home, fam!” followed by a war eagle. Well, we all know more when Offord makes his final choice on signing day. Stay tuned.
