5-star Auburn WR commit on flip watch. Can Hugh Freeze, Tigers hold on?

Jase Matthews has been committed to Auburn and Hugh Freeze since Aug. 8. According to David Johnson of Rebels247, that could change quickly.

The Ole Miss recruiting reporter has reported that Matthews, a 5-star receiver from Greene County HS in Leakesville, Miss., is on flip watch to the Rebels and head coach Lane Kiffin.

The No. 15 wide receiver in the 2026 recruiting class, Matthews has been heavily recruited by Auburn offensive coordinator Derrick Nix and wide receiver coach Marcus Davis. The 6-foot-2 receiver took an official visit to the Plains on June 6.

Dynamic slot receiver who wins with outstanding short area quickness and route creativity that also possesses a flare for the occasional acrobatic catch or two every Friday night.
