Summary
Auburn just pulled off a major recruiting coup with the commitment of four-star edge rusher James Pace, the third player from Maryland to join their 2027 class. Standing 6’3” and weighing 225 lbs, Pace chose Auburn over powerhouse programs like South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. He’s ranked 17th nationally among edge rushers by 247Sports and joins fellow edge rusher Rion Jackson to form a formidable pass-rushing duo. Pace’s teammate, safety Knyair Crumb, also committed this week, further boosting Auburn’s defensive depth. With Pace now the 20th commitment for 2027, he’s among the top players in the class, and the coaching staff — including head coach Alex Golesh and edge coaches Coleman Hutzler and Wayne Dorsey — played a key role in securing his pledge. This marks a major step forward for Auburn’s recruiting momentum, especially in building a dominant defensive future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
