In this story:
Auburn has made the cut for one of the best prospects in the nation.
Kamarion Franklin, a five-star defensive lineman, has included the Tigers in his top five, per his social media. Franklin also included Ole Miss, Tennessee, Miami, and Florida State.
The Lake Cormorant, Mississippi product is the No. 30 overall prospect, No. 2 prospect in the state of Mississippi and No. 6 defensive lineman in the 2024 class according to 247Sports.
In his junior season (2022), Franklin set Lake Cormorant's single-season sack record as a junior with 93 tackles and 19 sacks. He also returned a fumble for a touchdown and blocked three kicks. He's been a monster at the high school level.
At 6-foot-5, 265 pounds, Franklin also spends time playing basketball, averaging over six points, seven rebounds and a block per game during his sophomore and junior seasons.
The Tigers have a solid history of producing NFL-level talent on the defensive line, with the most recent draft including two linemen in Derick Hall (R2, P6) and Colby Wooden (R4, P14). The Tigers' stud DT Derrick Brown was the No. 7 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Auburn currently has five commitments in the 2024 class, including four-stars Walker White (QB) J'Marion Burnette (RB), A'Mon Lane (CB), Jayden Lewis (CB) and three-star Martavious Collins (TE).
