Auburn University has successfully flipped four-star running back Alvin Henderson from Penn State. Henderson, an elite prospect from Elba, Alabama, had previously committed to Penn State but has now pledged to Auburn. This move significantly boosts Auburn's 2025 recruiting class, which is now ranked fifth nationally with 16 commits. Henderson, who rushed for an impressive 3,523 yards and 61 touchdowns as a junior, is the third-highest-rated prospect in Auburn's 2025 class according to 247’s composite rankings. He is also ranked 55th in the ESPN 300 and is the No. 4 running back in this recruiting cycle. Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze expressed confidence in Henderson’s commitment, stating, 'I’m 100% locked in, I’m home.' This 'Flipmas in June' marks a significant win for Auburn.
side note: as someone who grew up in South Alabama, it’s absolutely wild to me to see that Auburn now has a top-five recruiting class at the moment with its top commitments hailing from Enterprise, Highland Home and Elba
