Top five EDGE rusher locks in gameday visit with Auburn football
One of the nation's top pass rushers will be on campus for one of Auburn football's most important games of the 2026 schedule.
Auburn football has secured a visit for 2028 five-star EDGE rusher Jalanie George, scheduled for Saturday, September 19, according to Rivals. The visit coincides with Auburn's SEC opener against the Florida Gators, ensuring George will experience the game-day atmosphere at Auburn's peak. Auburn has been on George's radar for months, with the West Coast pass rusher ranking the Tigers as his sixth-best school in May, alongside Oklahoma, Florida, Miami, Washington, and Miami.
George's interest in Auburn deepened after a positive Big Cat Weekend visit this spring. The EDGE rusher has also locked in a visit with Washington on September 6 for their Apple Cup game against archrival Washington State, making Auburn one of two schools with confirmed fall visits. The Auburn EDGE rushers have had notable success recently, with Keldric Faulk and Keyron Crawford being selected in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The upcoming class, featuring Jared Smith and Ole Miss transfer Da shawn Womack, is anticipated to be equally disruptive.
Auburn's recent success with its pass rushers presents a compelling argument for George, who has the potential to become the next great EDGE rusher in Auburn's defense. George, a five-star EDGE rusher according to Rivals, ranks as the ninth-best player in the 2028 class and No. 2 among 2028 EDGE rushers. He is also the top prospect from Arizona.
