The Auburn football program's first early signing period under new head coach Alex Golesh is off to a hot start. Despite a few decommitments following the staffing shakeup on the Plains, a lot more guys are choosing to stick around.
4-star linebacker Jaquez Wilkes was one of the first players in the 2026 class to officially sign with the Auburn Tigers on Wednesday morning. From Wadley, Alabama, Wilkes is ranked as the No. 67 overall player and the No. 6 linebacker in the recruiting class of 2026. He is the No. 5 player out of his home state.
