Overview
- Womack announced his switch on Monday, less than 48 hours before the early signing period opens.
- The Flowood, Mississippi standout is No. 30 overall and the No. 1 safety in the 247Sports composite and had been Auburn’s top 2026 pledge.
- Auburn’s 2026 class now lists 12 commitments and sits 66th nationally per 247Sports, the lowest ranking in the SEC.
- New Auburn coach Alex Golesh, hired Sunday, said he expects clarity on his defensive staff within 24–48 hours, with D. J. Durkin’s role unresolved.
- Mississippi State intensified its pursuit in November and hosted Womack twice, including for the Egg Bowl, and ESPN reports he would be the program’s highest-ranked signee of the recruiting era if he signs this week.
