Auburn wide receivers coach Marcus Davis put in work on the recruiting trail last season as he helped his alma mater land a historic haul of wide receivers during the 2024 recruiting cycle.
And now, Davis’ efforts are being recognized as he finished the cycle ranked as the 6th-best recruiter in the country, according to 247Sports.
Davis’ No. 6 ranking comes after he helped Auburn land a quartet of wide receivers in 5-stars Cam Coleman and Perry Thompson, in addition to 4-stars Bryce Cain and Malcolm Simmons. Together, Davis’ crop of signees average a player rating of 95.47.
“It’s no secret, we needed to get some difference-makers at the receiver position,” Freeze said during his National Signing Day press conference. “To land two of the top 10 in the nation in Perry and Cam and then two others that I think are sleepers. But they are ranked in, what, the top 150 in the country? Bryce and Malcolm.”
The four wide receivers Auburn brought in during the 2024 recruiting cycle made for a class of wide receivers that is, undoubtedly, the best in program history.
Prior to the 2024 recruiting cycle, Auburn had only ever secured one 5-star wide receiver.
Come December’s Early Signing Day, the Tigers signed two in Coleman and Thompson — a pair in-state receivers who Davis helped Auburn flip from Texas A&M and Alabama, respectively.
Landing at the No. 6 spot after the 2024 cycle, Davis finds himself as the third-best recruiter in the SEC behind Texas A&M’s wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins, who landed nine commits with an average player rating of 94.23, and LSU associate head coach Frank Wilson, who helped LSU reel in nine commits with an average player rating of 91.14.
