AUBURN — The Auburn University football program has landed a coveted recruit from the University of Alabama.
Four-star defensive lineman Antonio Coleman announced his commitment from the Crimson Tide to the Tigers during Big Cat Weekend on Saturday. The 6-foot-2, 285-pound Coleman is rated the No. 153 player in the Class of 2025 by the 247Sports Composite.
Coleman attends Saraland High School and was drafted as the No. 13 player in the state. Coleman has bounced back and forth between Alabama and Auburn multiple times, first committing to Alabama in September 2023, then changing his commitment to Auburn in December 2023. He withdrew his commitment from the Tigers in March and returned to the Crimson Tide, this time to join Auburn.
Other participants in Big Cat Weekend include 2025 cornerback Blake Woodby, 2026 edge rusher Hezekiah Harris and 2026 linebackers Shadarius Toodles and JaMichael Garrett.
