Auburn football received a surprise Thursday as Peyton Falzone flipped from Penn State. Here's how that affects its 2026 recruiting ranking.

Auburn secured a much-needed recruiting victory Thursday when it flipped Top247 quarterback Peyton Falzone from Penn State. The Class of 2026 prospect gives the Tigers momentum on the trail after coach Hugh Freeze fell under the microscope for a slow start to the cycle.

Falzone is commitment No. 7 for Auburn coach Hugh Freeze in the 2026 class, which ranks No. 77 in the 247Sports rankings. He is set to join a quarterback room with former 5-stars in junior Jackson Arnold, freshman Deuce Knight and Ashton Daniels.
