War Eagle: Great News For The Auburn Tigers As They Get Big Commitment From 4-Star LB Who Officially Flips To The Tigers.

While the bulk of Auburn’s work in the spring transfer portal window has been done, Hugh Freeze has maintained that he and his staff would be open to the idea of adding a defensive back.

And the Tigers seemingly found a guy who fit the bill as former Arkansas State and Northwestern State safety Antwon Fegans Jr. announced his commitment to Auburn in a post to social media Wednesday evening.

Rated a 3-star prospect out of Oxford, Alabama, Fegans Jr. earned offers from the likes of UAB, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi State and others, but ultimately started his career at Arkansas State, where he appeared in just four games across two seasons before entering the transfer portal and landing at Northwestern State.

Throughout the 2022 and 2023 seasons at Northwestern State, Fegans Jr. appeared in six games — five of which came last fall.

When Fegans Jr. arrives to Auburn, he’ll do so with three years of eligibility remaining.

While adding depth to the Tigers’ room of defensive backs, the addition of Fegans Jr. also creates a connection between Auburn and his younger brother, Anquon Fegans, who is ranked a 4-star safety in the class of 2025 and a big target for the Tigers.

Anquon Fegans, who is the 10th-ranked prospect in the state of Alabama by 247Sports, currently holds offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Michigan, Oklahoma and Tennessee, among others.
