Edge von Brandt Joins Auburn with Brother

Edge von Brandt, a high school linebacker with over 400 tackles and a gritty work ethic, has committed to Auburn to join his younger brother Layton — a top-rated offensive lineman — making a bold move to the Plains despite going unranked. Though he’s rehabbing from a senior-year injury, Edge is ready to compete in the SEC’s fast-paced linebacker room, learning from veterans like Xavier Atkins. As the 22nd commit and third linebacker in Auburn’s 2026 class, he’s the only unranked player and may join as a walk-on — but his brother’s legacy and relentless play could make him a key surprise contributor for the Tigers.
