Auburn Secures Five-Star Safety Bralan Womack Commitment

Auburn has secured a major recruiting victory by landing five-star safety Bralan Womack, the top uncommitted prospect in the 2026 recruiting class, over other finalists Ohio State, Florida, and Texas A&M. Womack, a 6-foot, 200-pound player from Flowood, Mississippi, is ranked among the top safeties nationally and was the Mississippi Gatorade Football Player of the Year, noted for his strong defensive stats and versatility. His commitment marks a significant boost for Auburn’s recruiting efforts after a challenging summer that saw several high-profile decommitments and missed targets. Womack’s pledge improves Auburn’s 2026 class ranking, pushing them to No. 22 nationally and providing a cornerstone for a renovated defensive class. The commitment also represents a setback for Ohio State, which had been a strong contender for Womack but now faces gaps in its defensive backfield. Auburn’s head coach Hugh Freeze views Womack as a key part of their roster rebuilding, with the recruit expressing that Auburn made him and his family feel valued and at home.
