Breaking News: Auburn Commit Dante Core Requests Exit Amid Ongoing Recruitment Battle

In a surprising turn of events, Auburn Tigers’ 2025 cornerback commit, Dante Core, has reportedly asked for an exit from his commitment to the team. Core, a standout recruit from Choctawhatchee High School in Florida, initially pledged his future to Auburn in May 2024. Despite his commitment, he remained open to exploring other opportunities, recently making headlines with unofficial visits to rival programs, including a notable trip to Ole Miss.

Sources close to the situation indicate that Core’s decision comes amidst aggressive recruitment efforts by other SEC schools. Ole Miss, in particular, has been a persistent suitor, with defensive coordinator Pete Golding and secondary coach Bryan Brown playing key roles in wooing the 5’11.5″, 165-pound prospect. Core attended Ole Miss’ recent game against Georgia, further fueling speculation about his potential decommitment.

While Auburn has been banking on Core’s commitment to solidify its defensive backfield, the ongoing recruitment from schools like Ole Miss could alter the landscape. As of now, it is unclear where Core will ultimately land, but his potential exit from Auburn signals that his recruitment is far from over.

Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as Core weighs his options and other programs ramp up their efforts to secure his talents.
