Auburn football continues to make waves on the recruiting trail, and their latest momentum boost comes from one of the top prospects in the nation. Five-star tight end Kaiden Prothro had high praise for Hugh Freeze and his staff following a recent visit, calling Auburn “one of the best in the country.”
Prothro, a dynamic 6-foot-5, 230-pound playmaker with elite athleticism and blocking ability, has been courted by top programs across the country. However, it’s clear the Tigers have positioned themselves firmly in the mix for his commitment.
“They’ve got everything I’m looking for,” Prothro said. “The coaching staff is real. They’re building something special, and I feel like I could be a big part of that.”

Auburn’s recruiting pitch has emphasized early playing time, Prothro’s fit in their evolving offense, and a culture focused on development and NFL preparation. Sources close to the program say Prothro left campus with a “very strong impression” of the Tigers.
Ranked among the top tight ends in the 2025 class, Prothro’s recruitment is heating up, but Auburn has emerged as a serious contender. With Hugh Freeze’s recent success in flipping top talent and building relationships, Auburn fans have every reason to be excited.
This momentum could pay major dividends as the Tigers aim to land one of the most coveted offensive weapons in the class. Stay tuned — Prothro’s decision may come down to who can maintain the strongest connection as the summer unfolds.
