Class of 2025 TE Hollis Davidson commits to Auburn

Class of 2025 tight end Hollis Davidson III of Peachtree City (GA) Mcintosh High announced his commitment to Auburn Tuesday evening.

The 6-foot-5, 235 pounder chose the Tigers over Miami, Florida, and Florida State.

“Everything about Auburn lined up with what I wanted in a school. The way they use their tight ends fits me. My relationship with coach Ben and Freeze. The values that the coaching staff prioritizes is what I value in life. Me and Ryan’s relationship is great and I’m excited to grow and compete with him. All that and it’s close to home, I couldn’t ask for anything better.”

His relationship with the coaching staff and their plan for him played a role in his decision as well.

“Coach Ben is my guy. He is close with my family and we stay in touch very often. I talk to coach Freeze pretty often as well. Their plan with me is to use me more as an H until I develop into a true combo guy. I’ve had very minimal in line work in high school so that’s gonna be my biggest learning point. Ryan and I are a very good duo for their offense.”

The Peach State tight end joins coach Hugh Freeze and the Tigers’ top 10 2025 class. He is accompanied by four-star defensive lineman Antonio Coleman, four-star EDGE Jakaleb Faulk, and others.
