Auburn Eyes Rare Two-Way Star Walden

Auburn’s coaching staff is eyeing a rare gem: Tae Walden, a four-star 2027 prospect ranked third nationally as an athlete and third in Tennessee. What sets him apart is his dual-threat potential—playing both wide receiver and cornerback, a two-way talent Auburn hasn’t seen in over 50 years. Walden, who recently switched from a planned visit to Clemson to head to Auburn, praised the Tigers’ openness to letting him explore both sides of the ball. His flexibility could be the deciding factor in his decision, especially as Auburn trails Ole Miss in the race for his commitment. With offers from LSU, Georgia, and Oregon, Auburn’s unique approach—embracing his two-way versatility—might just give them the edge to land this historic recruit, potentially ushering in the next great Auburn two-way star after Tucker Frederickson.
