Auburn in Top 5 for Top RB Johnson-Cook

0:00On April 22nd, Auburn football just cracked the top five for Mison Johnson Cook, the nation's fourth ranked running back in the class of 20. 27. This four-star speedster from East St. Louis, Illinois narrowed his list to Auburn, LSU, Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Miami, with a big commitment coming this Saturday. Earlier this week, he dropped Auburn into that final group after a strong multi-day visit to campus. He's got an official trip lined up for June 5th, and he already feels locked in with offensive coordinator Joel Gordon and the Tiger's scheme. Auburn fans are buzzing because they haven't signed a high school running back since the 2025 cycle with guys like Alvin Henderson and Omar Mapson. Landing Johnson Cook could shake up their roster big time. Right now, Auburn's 2027 class sits at number 60 nationally, with just two commits. Four-star defensive lineman, Donovan Moore, and A. Donovan Moore. Three-star tight-end George Laymans. Johnson Cook ranks as the top player from Illinois and must have back.
