Nash Johnson II Flips Commitment From Auburn to Georgia

The three-star Powder Springs cornerback's choice shows Georgia's pull on local recruits.

Overview

  • Rivals reporter Hayes Fawcett first reported that Nash Johnson II rescinded his May commitment to Auburn and pledged to Georgia, a move the prospect confirmed with a post on X.
  • Johnson is a three-star cornerback from Powder Springs who is listed by Rivals at No. 550 overall and No. 59 at his position.
  • The flip is counted as one of Auburn's decommitments during coach Alex Golesh's first full recruiting cycle for the program.
  • Despite losing Johnson, Auburn's 2027 class remains intact in Rivals' standings and still includes two four-star cornerbacks, Chance Gilbert and Aidyn Wiggins.
  • Johnson's change follows an earlier early pledge to Alabama and illustrates how SEC programs keep recruiting the same prospects late in the cycle, which can shift roster building but does not by itself change Auburn's current national class ranking.
