The Auburn Tigers coaching staff finished National Signing Day on an extremely positive note on Wednesday evening. One of the premier defensive members of the class, consensus top 20 2025 cornerback Donovan Starr, stayed true to his commitment by signing his national letter of intent with Auburn towards the end of signing day.
Starr’s signing was important for a variety of reasons, one of which being the fact Auburn was unable to flip fellow cornerback Na’eem Offord from Oregon despite the staff’s best efforts. Starr, who ranks as the No. 1 prospect from the state of Tennessee, was reportedly considering a flip as well before he put pen to paper.
With the 6-foot, 176-pound star now signed, Auburn’s 2025 recruiting class is likely to finish among the top five or six classes in the country. Starr was the 24th player to join the 2025 Auburn class. He was also the fourteenth recruit to join the class that had a four-star or better ranking.
Starr, along with the rest of his new Tigers teammates, will look to help turn around an Auburn program that missed only it’s second bowl game since 2012 after a disappointing season this fall. With plenty of youth throughout the defensive backfield, the No. 1 prospect from the Volunteer State should have every chance to lend his talents to defensive coordinator DJ Durkin on game days in 2025.
