Outlook: Wide receiver

Marcus Davis has built the once depleted wide receiver room into one of Auburn’s best position groups.

In the portal he added guys like KeAndre Lambert-Smith and now Eric Singleton Jr., but the foundation is high school talent. Cam Coleman, Perry Thompson, Malcolm Simmons and Bryce Cain were the Freeze Four in 2024, and he signed two Rivals250 players in 2025 in Derick Smith and Sam Turner.

Who could be the next group of wide receivers to sign with Auburn? With Denairius Gray already signed, here are seven names to keep an eye on.

Cederian Morgan – Alexander City, Ala.

Auburn recruited Morgan long before he rose to the rankings as one of the best players in the country. He has a great connection to the program as Malcolm Simmons is a former high school teammate and his relationship with Marcus Davis is close.

Morgan plans to visit Auburn on Jan. 25 for the Tigers’ Junior Day.

Marquez Daniel – Tuskegee, Ala.

Daniel, another player just off campus, is encouraged by staff to visit campus whenever he can, and he does so often. The four-star wide receiver visited Auburn twice last fall and will be back on campus for Junior Day on Jan. 25.

Devin Carter – Douglasville, Georgia.

As one of several players set to announce a college decision during the All American Bowl Saturday, Auburn was one of the schools that backed Carter the hardest, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Tigers pick their second wide receiver in the class of 2026 would receive. He was there several times last year.

Ohio State, Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Miami, Texas and Florida State also remain in the mix.

Aaron Gregory – Douglasville, Georgia

Gregory, a teammate of Carter’s, is currently committed to Texas A&M, but Auburn, like other programs, will continue to pursue the No. 29 player in the country. Gregory has visited Auburn often, so it wouldn’t be shocking if he showed up on campus a few times before signing day, but the same goes for programs like Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss who are also recruiting him.

Tristen Keys – Hattiesburg, Miss.

Hugh Freeze, the No. 1 player in Mississippi, will try to go after elite receiver Keys in his home state. Texas A&M, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama and USC are all pushing for a commitment as Keys believes one could happen soon.

“I would say between February, March, April,” Keys told Rivals. “I feel like I’m getting closer.”

Jonah Winston – Hoover, Ala.

The younger brother of Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston, Florida State, is considered the favorite to be named the four-star by Hoover, although a visit to Auburn is expected later this month. Until then, there will be a flight to Florida State.

Ryan Mosley – Carrollton, Georgia

Mosley visited Auburn several times last season and the Tigers have put themselves in position to be one of Mosley’s top schools by spring. Texas A&M, South Carolina and Georgia are also important schools for Mosley.
