2025 4-star safety Kendarius Reddick commits to Auburn

Thomasville (Ga.) Thomas County Central four-star safety Kendarius Reddick has committed to Auburn.

He chose the Tigers while also holding offers from the likes of Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee.

Reddick is the No. 52 overall prospect and No. 5 safety in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 10 player in Georgia.

The blue-chip defensive back was recently on the Plains for a game visit on Sept. 16. Secondary coach Zac Etheridge led Auburn’s charge for the top-100 prospect.

Reddick has an On3 NIL Valuation of $74K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Auburn growing 2025 recruiting class

The addition of Reddick makes five commitments for Hugh Freeze and Co. in the 2025 cycle. Reddick joins Brimingham (Ala.) Parker four-star defensive lineman Jourdin Crawford as prospects to choose Auburn in October.

Highland Home (Ala.) four-star EDGE Jakaleb Faulk highlights the class as the No. 160 overall prospect and No. 13 EDGE. He was the second pledge in the Tigers’ class, behind Opelika (Ala.) three-star DL Malik Autry. The class also includes Athens (Ala.) three-star offensive tackle Spencer Dowland.

“I love the new staff and the energy they’re bringing,” Faulk told On3 upon his commitment. “I love how enthusiastic they are and excited about the season, I have a good feeling about them and I think they could do way better than they did last year just off of their recruiting. It’s kind of amazing to me.”

Faulk’s brother, Keldric, is a freshman defensive lineman for the Tigers. He visited the Plains close to six times with the old staff and five times since Freeze took over.

“The Auburn family is amazing up there and the energy has changed,” Faulk said. “They’ve got a lot of hype with Coach Freeze and what he can bring to the table.”

“I’ve got a feeling that (Freeze) can bring them back to that championship level and further than they’ve ever been,” Faulk said. “He’s going to do something good there.”

Auburn’s 2025 class is now No. 7 in the nation and No. 4 in the SEC, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Ranking. Only Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, LSU, Ohio State and Miami check in ahead of the Tigers in the middle of October.
