The Auburn Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide have one of the fiercest rivalries in college football, with their competition extending beyond the field and into recruiting. Both programs are currently engaged in a battle for one of the top prospects in the 2026 recruiting class: Cederian Morgan, a highly talented four-star wide receiver.
Morgan, who plays for Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City, Alabama, is regarded as an elite talent with significant potential at the college level. While his recruitment is still ongoing, there are strong indications of where he might commit.
According to On3 Sports, Auburn currently has a commanding lead in securing Morgan’s commitment, with an 89.5% chance of landing the wide receiver. Alabama, meanwhile, trails significantly with just a 6.2% chance, followed by the Florida Gators at 2.2%. These numbers suggest that Auburn is in prime position to win the recruiting battle for Morgan unless something major shifts in the process.
Morgan is widely considered one of the most sought-after prospects in the 2026 class. On3 Sports ranks him as the No. 3 wide receiver and the No. 18 overall player in his class, making him a priority target for multiple programs nationwide.
For Auburn, successfully securing Morgan’s commitment would be a major boost to their offense, as his skill set could transform their passing game. While there is no official timeline for his decision, Auburn is in a strong position at the moment. If Alabama hopes to challenge their rival in this recruiting race, they will need to make up significant ground in the coming months.
