Breaking News: Cornerback Jaydin Broadnax Decommits from West Boca Raton, Chooses Auburn Over Michigan and Alabama
In a major recruiting coup for the Auburn Tigers, elite cornerback prospect Jaydin Broadnax has decommitted from West Boca Raton High School and pledged his commitment to Auburn. Broadnax, one of the top-rated cornerbacks in the 2026 class, selected Auburn over powerhouse programs Michigan and Alabama, giving the Tigers a significant boost to their defensive recruiting efforts.
Standing 6’0″ and weighing 185 pounds, Broadnax is known for his exceptional coverage skills, ball-hawking instincts, and ability to lock down opposing receivers. His combination of speed and physicality has made him one of the most coveted defensive prospects in the nation.
“Auburn felt like the right place for me,” Broadnax said during his announcement. “The coaching staff’s vision for my development and the family atmosphere on campus stood out. I’m excited to play a role in building something special with the Tigers.”
This commitment represents a significant win for Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze and his staff, who have been aggressive in pursuing top talent to revitalize the program. Defensive backs coach Zac Etheridge was instrumental in Broadnax’s recruitment, emphasizing Auburn’s commitment to helping him thrive both on and off the field.
Broadnax’s decision is a setback for Michigan and Alabama, both of which had been in contention for his services. However, Auburn’s ability to present a compelling vision for his future proved decisive.
Broadnax is expected to make an immediate impact in the Tigers’ secondary, bolstering a defense that continues to improve under Freeze’s leadership. His commitment adds momentum to Auburn’s 2026 recruiting class as the Tigers aim to reclaim their spot among college football’s elite.
Stay tuned for updates as Auburn continues to strengthen its roster and make waves on the recruiting trail.
