James Pace Commits to Auburn

Four-star edge rusher James Pace just committed to Auburn, a major win for their 2027 class and a testament to their aggressive DMV recruiting push. Rated the second-best edge rusher in Maryland, Pace joins Rion Jackson — the state’s third-best — making Auburn the top destination for Maryland talent this cycle. He chose Auburn over Penn State and Tennessee, citing an instant sense of brotherhood, campus culture, and the infectious love for football that permeates the program. The commitment is a huge boost for new head coach Alex Golesh, whose first-year class is now ranked ninth nationally — proof of his recruiting prowess and culture-building. Pace sees himself fitting seamlessly into the team’s identity and is poised to step into the shoes of departed NFL draft picks Keldric Faulk and Keyron Crawford. This signing signals Auburn’s serious momentum, laying the groundwork for a dominant future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
