Today’s Auburn Tigers news highlights significant additions to both the football and baseball programs. In a pivotal recruiting weekend for Auburn football, 4-star safety Eric Winters committed to the Tigers following his visit to the Plains. Hailing from Enterprise, Alabama, Winters is ranked as the #7 safety in the 2025 recruiting class and the #5 prospect in the state. Despite interest from Georgia and Miami, Winters was swayed by Auburn’s family atmosphere and the coaching prowess of Charles Kelly, propelling Auburn’s recruiting class to #6 nationally with four of Alabama’s top 10 prospects secured.
On the baseball front, Auburn’s coaching staff made moves in the transfer portal, securing commitments from brothers Sam and Andrew Dutton. Sam, a pitcher who previously played at LSU, brings considerable experience with 15 starts and 57 appearances over three seasons, posting impressive stats of 29 strikeouts and just six walks in 27.2 innings last season. His addition marks a notable upgrade for the Tigers’ pitching staff among the five transfers this offseason. Andrew, an infielder transferring from Birmingham-Southern for his fifth year, bolstered the Panthers with a .340 batting average, seven home runs, and 42 RBIs in his last season.
These additions underscore Auburn’s commitment to strengthening both its football and baseball programs ahead of the upcoming seasons.”
