2024 Recap

Auburn’s 5-7 finish in 2024 dropped Hugh Freeze to 11-14 in his two seasons at the helm, marking the program’s first stretch of four straight losing seasons since 1947-50. Yet optimism remains high entering 2025. The Tigers crushed the transfer portal and secured back-to-back top-10 recruiting classes. If everything clicks, Auburn isn’t just poised for its first winning season since 2020 — it could be a legitimate dark horse in the College Football Playoff race.
