Auburn Lands Top Edge Rusher Rion Jackson

Auburn’s 2027 recruiting class just got a major boost with the commitment of four-star edge rusher Rion Jackson from Maryland, who picked the Tigers over Virginia Tech. Jackson joins Reed Ramsier as a key addition, helping Auburn stay in the top fifteen nationally with seventeen commits already locked in. His arrival fills a critical need on defense, especially after last year’s top edge rushers moved on to the NFL. Jackson will learn from transfer Da’shawn Womack, setting up a promising development pipeline under Coach Golesh. The Tigers are also chasing other elite edge rushers like JaBarrius Garror and James Pace, but Jackson’s impact could be felt as early as 2027 or 2028 — solidifying Auburn’s push for a dominant future defense.
