Auburn football has secured a major recruiting victory, flipping four-star cornerback Shamar Arnoux from USC. With the early signing period rapidly approaching, this commitment is a significant boost for Auburn’s 2025 recruiting class.
Arnoux, who had been pledged to the Trojans since June 26, announced his decision to join Auburn on Thursday morning. This marks another recruiting success for head coach Hugh Freeze and his staff, who have been working hard to assemble a strong class for the program’s future.
Ranked as the No. 378 overall prospect in the nation and the No. 35 cornerback according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Arnoux brings impressive credentials to the Tigers. He currently plays high school football at Carrollton High School in Georgia, where he shares the field with standout five-star quarterback Julian Lewis.
Arnoux’s experience competing alongside elite talent further enhances his appeal as a top-tier recruit.
With Arnoux’s commitment, Auburn now has four cornerbacks in its 2025 recruiting class. He joins Donovan Starr, Blake Woodby, and Devin Williams, solidifying an already talented defensive backfield. This depth at cornerback underscores the program’s emphasis on strengthening its defense, particularly in the secondary, as it prepares for future SEC competition.
Auburn’s 2025 recruiting class remains one of the best in the nation, currently ranked No. 5 overall behind Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, and LSU. The addition of Arnoux reinforces Auburn’s status as a major contender on the recruiting trail and showcases the coaching staff’s ability to compete with top programs for highly sought-after players.
Arnoux’s decision to flip from USC highlights the Tigers’ growing momentum in recruiting, particularly in landing prospects from competitive regions like Georgia. As the early signing period approaches, Auburn’s 2025 class is shaping up to be one of the strongest in recent years, with Arnoux expected to make an immediate impact on the field.
