Now charged with getting the best talent to the Barn, Alex Golesh has a long way to go. But the new head coach has already gotten off the mark, signing two great talents for the Tigers’ 2026 class. Golesh will mark the start of his tenure at Auburn by signing 3-star OL Mykall Lundy-Foster and S Wayne Henry. The former is Golesh’s first signee, and followed him to Auburn after initially committing to South Florida. He is the No. 141 interior offensive lineman in the nation according to 247Sports. For Henry, Auburn will be like a home away from home. He comes from Baltimore St. Frances Academy, which has now become a pipeline for the Tigers. Golesh enters the signing period with a 2026 class ranked 57th in the country, per On3. His move to Auburn has made the program an interesting avenue for prospects. Golesh is already working to flip some of those intrigued players, having already acquired some of them within a matter of days. This is a developing story. 

Alex Golesh's stint at Auburn is off to a great start, with his arrival making the program an attractive target for future recruits.
