I want to take this time to see what\u2019s all out there and what\u2019s best for me and my family! @CoachKingWill<\/a> @CoachHughFreeze<\/a> @coachmws<\/a> @CoachEllis38<\/a> @Coach_Corder<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Kalen Edwards (@KalenEdwards4) March 13, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Edwards most recently pulled in offers in January from Ole Miss and Florida.<\/p>\n Even with the de-commitment of Edwards, Auburn still has a very strong 2025 class.
