Hope you know that FSU had struck gold recruiting tight ends over the past two seasons and aimed to keep the streak alive in 2026. A four-star TE prospect was one of their top priorities, but Texas A&M swooped in to steal the show. Captivated by head coach Mike Elko’s electric personality, the standout prospect committed to the Aggies. “I love the head coach. I like his personality. He just brings energy to everything. He just brings the juice,” the TE shared. But with another program now vying to flip his commitment, that passion for Elko seems to be facing a serious test.
Steve Wiltfong recently dropped a bombshell on an episode of On3 Recruits, revealing that Hugh Freeze and his Auburn squad have a calculated plan to disrupt Texas A&M’s offseason—and it’s all aimed at flipping four-star tight end Xavier Tiller. “Auburn’s trending to flip the four-star tight end Xavier Tiller from Texas A&M,” Wiltfong stated. Under Freeze’s leadership, Auburn has consistently poached top talent from powerhouse programs, and they’re looking to keep that streak alive as they navigate the competitive waters of the 2026 recruiting season.
The insider gave further insight into Hugh Freeze’s drive to flip Xavier Tiller, stating, “We know the Aggies will do everything they can to keep him, but talking to sources who spent time with Tiller at Auburn over the weekend, they like where Auburn stands. He’s the guy Auburn’s in great position for.” And the most intriguing fact is that it seems the 4-star tight end is leaning in Auburn’s direction!
