Title: Sleepover

Pairing: Peter Maximoff x Reader

Summary: Continuation from previous chapter. After getting Peter back to his house in D.C., he asks you to spend the night. You want to, but you’re also worried about what his mother and his twin sister Wanda may really think of you. As you and Peter get a little more time alone, you also wonder how far you’re ready to go yourself.

Warnings: Nothing more than kissing really in this chapter. Bit of awkwardness from Reader though not knowing what they really want or how to go about it yet.

My Masterlist

——————————

“Anyway, can we argue inside at least? (Y/N) promised to call Xavier when we got here.” Peter piped up, trying to shuffle away from his mother at last.

At the sudden sound of your name though, you felt an added bit of nervousness. You also made eye contact with Peter’s mother for the very first time then, as if she’d only just realized you were there.

Peter’s sister Wanda was also looking back at you with question in her face as well at the reveal of your name. But you said nothing yet, just walking up to hand Peter his crutches.

You purposefully busied yourself turning right back around too, getting that jacket he’d stolen on the plane out from the back of the car as well for him. The sunglasses he already had still on top of his head.

So then, the only other things left in the car were the meager amount of clothes you’d bought for yourself. Which you didn’t need right now as you walked back to the others, carrying his jacket. But really pretty unsure yourself if you were even going to be invited inside for long at all.

“Come on, I’ll show you where the phone is,” Peter spoke again though, either oblivious to the increasing awkwardness for everyone else or just ignoring it entirely as he motioned for you to follow him back up the steps and through the still open front door.

—————————

As you were unfolding the little piece of paper with the motel address and phone number from out of your pocket, you tried to concentrate on the task at hand. The corded phone was propped against your shoulder to rest against your ear, you now standing there in the Maximoffs’ small kitchen. But even as you started to dial the numbers, half your attention was still on whatever Peter was now rapidly saying to his family.

“Yeah, (Y/N) goes to that school. You know I just went there to go ask about Dad since they know him. But then there’s this explosion, and I had to pull everybody out. And all the sudden this mutant god is apparently attacking the world and he took Xavier. But then the government shows up like dolts thinking Xavier’s doing it instead. And they take us to question us, but they’ve got some evil experiment shit going on in there too-”

He only took the smallest breath, continuing at that accelerated pace. “And they had that other guy, remember him, Mom? Logan? Anyway, so he breaks out and wrecks the place, so we get out and I get (Y/N), then we find out where Xavier is so we go to get him. We’re in Egypt and we all fight and that god dude breaks my leg. But he’s trying to make Dad help him, but Dad turns on him and-”

“Hello?” You heard someone on the other end of the line finally answer at the motel. You could still hear Peter rattling on excitedly behind you though, your name peppered into his story several more times as you just answered back on the phone.

“Hi, is there a Charles Xavier checked in there? I need to ring his room please.”

There was a long pause where you could only keep standing there, just looking at the kitchen wall and the bit of older panelling that covered it before the phone finally started ringing again.

Peter was now already talking about the aircraft carrier and your stay there by the time you heard the receiver pick up again.

“This is Charles.”

“Hi…hey, it’s me.” You answered with some relief.

You could hear the quick recognition in the Professor’s own voice as you didn’t have to say your name before he gladly responded. “Ah, good. You made it with no trouble then? We checked in here a while ago. I’m in room 104 if you’d need to call back. Are you leaving now to drive back?”

You tried to commit the room number to memory even as you were already replying. “Yeah, it wasn’t a bad drive. We just got here a minute ago. I-”

“Yo, Prof.!” Peter interjected, surprisingly at your side abruptly, also speaking into the phone then. “We’re barely in the door. I was going to show (Y/N) around a bit. That cool? Pretty jet lagged anyway. Probably be safer to crash on the couch tonight and have (Y/N) head your way in the morning, right?”

You blinked, for one thing not even having heard Peter stop talking to his family. But two, he was really saying you should sleep here? Not just joking around anymore? Could he even decide that on his own?

You felt frozen in that moment, not wanting to look back towards the kitchen at all and whatever surprised expressions his mother and sister may now also have on their faces.

The pause on the other end of the line was very noticeable as well before Xavier eventually continued. Peter shimmied even closer to you so he could also put his ear almost against the phone as you turned it slightly for him.

“Peter, I appreciate you looking out for everyone’s best interests and safety,” The Professor answered then, but with that tone which said he clearly doubted that was the speedster’s true or only reasoning. “But I would think that’d be more for your mother to-”

“Mom!” Peter turned his head back, rather loud in your ear as you flinched a little. “Can (Y/N) sleep on the couch? I mean you hate it when Wanda drives late by herself. Same thing right? It’s a long drive back to New York. What self respecting mom is just going to throw anybody’s kid out into the night like that, huh?”

You were tired, yes. It’d already been a very long day of traveling. But you weren’t that helpless. You were pretty sure you’d be fine. This was so weird though. Standing here in silence while someone else bargained for you. Was he really just trying to extend your time together however he could?

“I don’t care, Peter.” You just heard a rather exasperated answer though from Magda after another moment. “You’re going to do whatever you want anyway. Why even ask me anymore?”

The tension from their argument in the driveway clearly remained, or maybe this was how it always was between them? You couldn’t know yet, just caught in the middle it seemed as Peter only took that as good enough, talking back into the phone quickly, “Mom says it’s cool.”

You heard a sigh on the other end, and Xavier replied, “You’re old enough, I don’t have much say myself. But do call me again when you are leaving so we know when you’re back on the road, agreed?”

“Yes.” You said, pulling the phone more back to you then. “I’ll definitely let you know. Please tell the others I’m okay. I’ll see you all soon.”

After that, you and the Professor both told each other goodnight, and that was it. You hung the phone back up, but not yet sure what you’d really gotten yourself into as you glanced back at Peter. Peter who was now outright grinning from ear to ear.

“So…Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee? Movie night?” He asked you.

But what else could you do? You didn’t mind getting the chance at a little more time together of course. You just weren’t sure about how much anyone else actually wanted you here in this house tonight.

——————————

Not long after, whatever deeper discussions still loomed in the air about Peter’s choices of chasing his estranged father straight into a near death experience with a genocidal mutant god appeared shelved. At least for now anyway.

You’d seen Magda grab some sort of drink. Resigning herself to an armchair and the living room television as she seemed to ignore you all then, even as Peter remained almost bubbly while the two of you started down the basement stairs to his room.

You really hadn’t seen where Wanda had gone, but Peter just kept talking. So your focus only returned to him as you both cleared the last step at the bottom of the staircase. You behind him as you carried his crutches, then handing them back to him as you entered the room.

“And voila, man cave de Pietro!” He announced, waving an arm out towards the space.

You weren’t sure why you’d expected something smaller either. Of course most basements sprawled out to take up near the whole bottom footprint of a house. But this was still large to you, and clearly well used.

There were things everywhere. More than just a room obviously. No, this was his life, his hideaway. The more you looked, the more things you saw. Bicycles, guitars, comic books, band posters, all pieces of his hobbies and likes scattered about.

But there was furniture as well. A little table, some chairs, was this always where he ate too? There was a big sectional couch, the cushions indented a little like he may have a favorite spot there.

You didn’t miss the expensive looking television as well, and the VHS player. All the tapes, and the nintendo and the atari, the record player, a stereo, and boxes of games, cassettes, and music records.

And his bed was near in the center of it all, much wider than one person should need and almost right on the ground as he just fell back onto it sending a noticeable wave across the sheets. A waterbed clearly. But you just laughed a little, still a bit amazed. “You really do live here in the true sense of the word don’t you?”

“Hey, I make do. Home sweet home.” He smirked, but also raised an eyebrow at you not long after. “So you didn’t even notice the table back there did you?”

At his words you did look back over your shoulder with a little confusion. But you started to smile as soon as you realized what he was talking about. An air hockey table back around the corner. Some clutter on top of it like it hadn’t been used in a while, but it was clear he remembered your arcade favorites to point it out like he was.

“I figured I’d try to keep that a surprise until now…you know, since our arcade date might be a little postponed for the moment. So uh, surprise?” He said, laying back on his bed as he put his arms behind his head, still watching you.

“I did see the Ms. Pac-Man.” You replied, motioning to the more obvious machine right against the wall. No wonder he’d said he was pretty good at that one.

“Yeah, I used to have Pong too. Wore it out though. And got tired of trying to find parts to fix it.”

“Oh, I could see that happening.” Sure, he probably played everything with a little super speed. Though imagining him somehow ‘shoplifting’ a whole arcade machine whenever he needed another one was a bit interesting. How did that even work?

“So, uh…you want me to put a movie on for real? I was trying to get us out of that kitchen before Mom went off again. But we can do whatever. You know…whatever you want?” He spoke, albeit maybe a little oddly as you glanced to him again.

He almost sounded a touch nervous with those last words? The slight change in tone was enough for you to catch anyway as you did walk over to the bed regardless before sitting down on the edge of it beside him.

But it was strange here, the more you considered everything. It was hard to explain really. Because how many countless times had you sat in your friends’ rooms at the mansion? Guys or girls, just talking or playing games or whatever. Just hanging out as you supposed most all people your age did. But there was never anything weird, never anything uncomfortable.

It could even be late at night sometimes, some of you only half dressed in your sleep shirts or pajamas and no one thought anything about it. Because you just knew back then that no one thought of you as anything but a friend too.

But with Peter…being here now, you were suddenly acutely aware that you were sitting on his bed. In his room, as he seemed to be waiting for some sort of guidance from you as well. Was that why he sounded nervous?

Yet had Crystal ever been here too you wondered. Sitting just where you were sitting now? And why would you think of such a stupid thing in this very moment?

“Hey.” Peter said gently, causing you to look down as you felt his fingers graze your wrist after he moved his arm to reach out.

You smiled a little at the contact, but still felt kind of foolish. There was no point in trying to play it cool though as you confessed the current reason for your own awkwardness at least. “I guess I just didn’t expect to be in anybody’s room like this. It’s not bad, it’s just…”

“Different?” He asked, helping you out a little to your surprise.

“Yeah.” You answered simply. But you could see as another emotion seemed to pass briefly through his expression, furthering your bit of confusion.

Was that guilt on his face?

And he spoke a little abruptly, with that rarer more serious tone emerging even though the words came fairly quick. “You know I was still just giving you a hard time right? I’m cool going as slow as we need. Despite being the fastest dude alive and all, I don’t have to be the fastest guy in bed. That’d royally suck actually. For both of us. So don’t feel like there are some sort of rules here. Like, you do not have to do anything you don’t want to do.”

You blinked, those words not what you were expecting. But it wasn’t bad at all the more you got to consider them. Was he really so worried that you may think he was trying to get something from you here that you weren’t yet ready to give?

Honestly, you didn’t even know yourself what you were ready for though. “Really, it’s okay.” You replied truthfully. “I’m not uncomfortable. I think I’m still in disbelief is all. I never would have thought this is how my summer would start this year. Never in a million years.”

He sat up, smiling again then with his normal tone bouncing back fairly easily. “And I am totally coming over for a pool party, as soon as this damned cast is off. I mean I’m white as shit so people may have to avert their eyes. But we would totally wreck the others in some volleyball or something. I know we would. As long as Jean doesn’t cheat with the telekinesis crap. I could do some whirlpools too you know, knock ‘em off their feet.”

“Sounds safe.” You said, laughing at the image. Maybe living in some random motel for the foreseeable future wouldn’t be so bad after all?

He chuckled in return, but was cut off by another voice just before he started to speak again.

“Knock knock.”

You both looked up toward the stairs as you first saw a pair of black boots coming down them. Black boots, old jeans, and a dark red t-shirt.

Peter called back, straightening up a little more at the sight. “Hey, sis. Fun run out upstairs with Mom and Dynasty on the tube or what?”

“Well, it was an Alexis and Dominique Deveraux battle episode, actually.” Wanda answered a little regretfully.

“Aw, your favorite catfight duo! Why the exit then?” Peter questioned in return.

She gave Peter a slight accusatory look. “Well, you got Mom in a mood and she wanted to talk about my school next. She wanted to and I didn’t. Simple as that.”

“Well…actually I thought you’d still be at your dorm too really. Not that I’m complaining. Haven’t seen you in forever. Your classes get cancelled?” He asked.

“Well, when the metal roof got pulled off the main assembly hall, I think they decided to err on the side of caution.” She responded, rather deadpan.

“Understandable. You think you’ll still go back in the fall?” Peter questioned anyway.

“Don’t know. I haven’t really liked anything about that college yet. But I said I didn’t want to talk about it remember?” Her tone wasn’t cold to him, but still rather final.

He clearly wasn’t as intimidated by her as you were though as he didn’t miss a beat. “Well how about a movie with us? Me and (Y/N) were about to pick something.”

How true that statement was on Peter’s part, you weren’t really sure. But you still said nothing as Wanda just moved to sit on the other edge of the bed, almost as far from you as could be you noted. But Peter still between the both of you as she looked unimpressed. “Can it be something a little less bloody than your usual at least?”

He scoffed, teasing back. “Well I don’t keep your Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie box sets down here you know.”

“Oh shut up.” Wanda retorted, but it was the first time you’d seen her really smirk. Though the siblings were clearly very different, that expression was also a brief resemblance you couldn’t miss.

“Wanda’s a bit of a sitcom connoisseur.” Peter commented for your benefit.

You took the chance to make eye contact with her at that, thinking that might be your in to finally start a real conversation. But she only looked away. If Wanda was unfriendly with strangers period, or actually just disliked you specifically, it was hard to know yet.

“Just pick something.” She finally replied to Peter though. “If I go back through the living room to try to go to my room right now, Mom’s just going to try and start an interrogation again.”

—————————

Hours later

“Hey, you keep moving around. Do you want a pillow?” Peter’s voice drifted from above.

You were pretty disoriented, for one strange moment just staring up at him and clueless to where you even were before your senses returned a little.

The sunlight was gone then. The only real light flickering from the television nearby that was now on some movie you didn’t remember the name of as you sat back up a little on his bed. Was this the third movie he’d put in? You hadn’t lasted very long at all had you?

“I can get on the couch,” You offered, awake enough then to at least remember his mother and sister were still around here somewhere. Though, when had Wanda left? You didn’t see her anymore and you didn’t even know what time it was.

“Seems kind of unnecessary,” Peter replied, in a quieter tone that caught your attention as you paused.

Was he inferring that you should just get under the blankets right here? With him? But sharing the bunk on the aircraft carrier wasn’t the same as being in his literal bed. Here in his family’s home where they already seemed to be rather distant with you at best.

They didn’t know you here. You had to remind yourself of that. They couldn’t know you didn’t spend the night at boys’ houses as habit. You didn’t get in their beds with them upon just meeting. Honestly, you couldn’t even remember the last time you’d slept somewhere besides the now destroyed mansion.

“Peter…” You didn’t know how to convey that concern really. You did want Magda and Wanda to like you eventually if you were being honest. You wanted them to understand. But you wanted Peter to understand too. Even though he’d said he was fine taking things as slow as you wanted, you felt it would still be all too easy to make him feel rejected without meaning to if you weren’t careful.

“I mean, we could both fit on my couch down here too,” He added, so close then that you were sure he was waiting for you to cross the rest of the small distance and kiss him.

And how could staring at each other in the dark, with the muffled sounds of some badly dubbed kung fu movie in the background now be bordering on romantic for you? Somewhere in the back of your mind you did think of all those stereotypical movie scenes all of the sudden. Two young people just in their own world, oblivious to all else.

“I don’t know if I’ve made the best impression on your family yet.” You tried to explain. “If I’m still in this bed with you the next time one of them comes down here…there is no way they’re going to believe we only watched movies and slept tonight.”

He tilted his head a little, yet already smiling. “And you assume they think someone like you would be that physically attracted to someone that looks and acts like me?”

“I do…and I am.” You answered though. Not trying to lead him on, but unable to help yourself either then as you did close that small distance to kiss him. You still disliked anytime he made those comments about somehow being underserving. He was far from it.

The little bit of tension you felt in return told you he was surprised too, but that quickly faded of course as he only pressed into it to kiss you back.

You had no intention of going too far or taking advantage of his family’s allowing you to stay here tonight however. It wouldn’t be right.

But you were still young as well, and it’d be a lie to say it didn’t feel good as he touched your face and your own hand moved onto his chest. It was something too how quickly the heat rose inside you. You could feel the outline of his body through his shirt as your hand trailed down.

He was warm, his abdomen firm against your moving hand. You kissed him harder actually as his own hand moved back behind your neck. But you needed to stop soon, either that or he needed to wear thicker clothing as your hand wandered further.

It was him that surprised you to finally pull back first though. Yet smiling at you again as he kept his face close.

Your breathing had already changed a little as you looked back to him before he glanced down. He raised an eyebrow at your hand now resting on the waistband of his shorts.

Realizing what he was looking at, you pulled your hand away, apologizing reflexively. “Sorry, I wasn’t trying to…” Your mind fumbled a little. Your hand had just been running down. There was no real intent behind it, despite how it looked.

“You’re so funny. Seriously.” He said in that slight tone of amusement though. “Jumping out a plane one day, ready to sacrifice yourself samurai warrior style for your buddies, brave as shit.” He tilted his head, before then enclosing his hand around yours that you’d just pulled back. “But here you get flustered? I’m just a guy, (Y/N). Total nobody. There’s nothing to apologize for. Though I still don’t get it at all. I mean, why you like me like you do.”

“But you admit it then at least?” You tried to counter back, instead of arguing against his very real point that a new relationship could be more intimidating to you than a battlefield. “You admit that I like you. Instead of just telling me I’m making a mistake?”

“Yeah, I mean I guess even I can’t really make up a story of why you’d choose to drive all the way back to New York by yourself instead of bringing one of your friends here with you…unless you really wanted to be one on one with me.” But he just smirked once more, leaning in again to steal a quick additional kiss before pulling back away. “Guess you’re just that nuts.”

“Thanks.” You joked back.

“Takes one to know one.” He answered tauntingly, then sliding off the bed a little awkwardly as he put his feet back on the floor, albeit trying to only put weight on his good leg.

He didn’t have to go far though to reach a nearby closet, pulling a large blanket from it. He wadded it up a little, then tossing it to you. “Since you’re being modest though, you can sleep with Optimus Prime and Megatron tonight. But here, take one of my pillows too.”

In the dark, you couldn’t really make out what was on the blanket. Some sort of characters. You’d just have to take his word on it being Transformers before you caught the pillow that he threw to you next.

“As far as which couch you sleep on, your call. But Wanda always gets up, classic insomniac. I don’t think you want to tempt her with the opportunity to peek into your head if you stay in the living room. She hasn’t met you for real yet and probably still wants the background deets on you.”

“She’s another psychic?” At first you couldn’t remember if he’d already told you that or not. But no, you definitely would have recalled that. Yet maybe this was better? You wouldn’t have to prove anything if she could just see the truth in your mind of how you felt for her brother.

But Peter waved his hand in a ‘so-so’ type gesture. “I don’t think labels really work well with my sister. Yeah, she can get in people’s heads. But she’s not like your friends. She’s her own deal. It’s different. There’s a lot more that she can do. I’m just saying I wouldn’t advise messing with her is all.”

Whatever concerned look you must have given then was enough for him to quickly continue though, “But I’ll work on her the whole time while you’re back in New York. She just doesn’t know you yet. It’ll be fine!”

“Uh huh.” You said, not so confidently. “Guess I’m sleeping on this couch then.”

“A wise choice I think.”

“Of course, you could just be saying all this to get me scared enough to stay down here.”

“Oh, it’s both of course.” He smiled, watching you lay down on the couch even as he got into his bed. “And if you get cold, babe. I’m just a few feet away you know.”

Even from here, you were pretty sure he winked at you as you wrapped yourself up in that blanket he’d given you and stretched out on his couch. “If I go over there, I’m not coming back over here and I know it.”

“Or I could come over there,” he offered, only half jokingly of course.

But you just laid your head on the pillow, knowing you were trying to do the right thing at least. “Not enough room for your leg. You’d be uncomfortable.”

“If you say so, killjoy.”

You only smiled. “Goodnight, Peter.”

“Night, Glo-Worm.” He responded happily.

“Ugh,” You’d hoped he’d forgotten that by now, but apparently not. “Really have to fix that. There’s got to be a better codename for me.”

“Well we can’t all be Quicksilver. Sorry, I called dibs.”

“And we can’t all choose our nicknames out of a department store display case either.” You retorted.

“Ouch. Touché.”

He didn’t tease you anymore after that, but you could still feel his gaze on you as you closed your eyes again not long after. He was close enough that you also felt safe, even here in this new environment.

It was going to be hard to leave tomorrow, that much was certain. But at least you’d also know what you’d have to look forward to as soon as his cast was off again.

Maybe the next time you two fell asleep under the same roof, it’d be in a more neutral territory where you wouldn’t have to worry about his mother or sister’s judgement. Then you could hold him just like you wanted to. And it would be well worth the wait.

This projection will be very wrong

This is dumb.

Attempting to guess what a high school senior is thinking in a single moment is an effort in futility. Attempting to guess what they might be thinking six months from now after having been recruited by some of the top football programs in the country during a pandemic in which a football season may not even happen is sheer lunacy.

But I have never pretended to be a sane individual so why start now?

Today, I will take my first stab at projecting Auburn’s 2021 signing class. I will be wrong, likely very wrong but the exercise should at least provide some context on where this class sits right now and its potential upside. I was very conservative in this projection with only a few bold predictions thrown in because Auburn always lands 2-3 kids no one expects.

For now, I am going to assume Auburn signs a full 25 man class. That number always seems to fluctuate so it’s safe to just stick with the base number for now. Here’s my best guess in June on whom ends up in Auburn’s 2021 class come signing day.

4* QB Dematrius Davis | 5’11” | 190 lbs | Houston, TX | Auburn Commit

Davis was the first tangible proof that Auburn’s efforts in Texas were proving fruitful. The nation’s 6th ranked dual threat QB recently received an invitation to compete in the Elite 11. His stock has already been on the rise after an outstanding junior campaign. A strong performance in Nashville could push him into the top 50.

i aint lettin my foot off. im steppin harder s/o to @BallerTribe pic.twitter.com/nWTZCmYvs4

— Dee (@Dematrius09) June 23, 2020

4* RB Armoni Goodwin | 5’8” | 190 lbs | Trussville, AL | Auburn Commit

There was buzz earlier this week that Auburn’s longest committed member of the 2021 class might be on flip watch. LSU is reportedly hard after the explosive playmaker but confidence remains strong on the Plains he sticks with the better looking Tigers. When visits reopen this fall though Goodwin will be a prospect to monitor. Does he make it down to Baton Rouge? I still believe Auburn’s relationships win out here but Ed O’s Tigers cannot be ignored.

4* WR Deion Colzie | 6’4” | 193 lbs | Athens, GA

Georgia appears to be prioritizing speed this cycle specifically honing in on 4-star Malcolm Johnson Jr and 4-star Xavier Worthy. Alabama has only one more WR spot in their class and are putting the full court press on 4-star Brian Thomas Jr. Put those facts together with buzz that Colzie might be leaning towards leaving the state and it doesn’t seem too crazy that he ends up in Auburn’s class.

3* WR Adonai Mitchell | 6’3” | 190 lbs | Antioch, TN | Ole Miss Commit

Auburn has already flipped two prospects in this class and could be on the verge of a 3rd. Tennessee’s 11th ranked prospect told AuburnUndercover’s Keith Niebuhr earlier this week he speaks with Auburn’s staff daily. Georgia is also a threat but Auburn has long prioritized Mitchell and I think those relationships pay off in the end.

3* WR Brashard Smith | 5’8” | 190 lbs | Miami, FL

The Tigers are looking to sign at least one 2 man in this class. 4-star Christian Leary was the top target and Auburn felt good about him up until he committed to the Tide. Now the Tigers are likely to turn the heat up on former UF commit Smith. This pick is a reach at this point with Miami and Florida appearing to be the top 2 teams for Smith at the moment. But I had to put one speedster in this class and with Malcolm Johnson possibly leaning UGA, I decided to go with Smith. I wouldn’t be surprised to see home new names emerge in the coming months.

4* TE Michael Trigg | 6’4” | 230 lbs | Tampa, FL

Yes, Auburn might actually take two more tight ends this cycle. As I have written previously, it’s a position that should become much more involved in Auburn’s offense moving forward outside of just being an extra blocker. While the Tigers don’t necessarily need another tight end, you don’t say no to an elite athlete like Trigg. Auburn will have to fight off Florida State and LSU but I like the Tigers chances as of today. He’s another player that would like the opportunity to play both football and basketball at the next level.

— Trigg (@mtrigg_23) May 7, 2020

3* TE Landen King | 6’5” | 210 lbs | Humble, TX | Auburn Commit

Auburn’s most recent commit, King is a prospect with tremendous upside who fits the mold of athlete Chad Morris covets at the 3 spot in his offense. He continues Auburn’s recent success recruiting the state of Texas. I expect a big senior campaign out of King and wouldn’t be shocked to see him earn that 4th star before signing day.

4* OT Caleb Johnson | 6’7” | 295 lbs | Ocala, FL | Auburn Commit

Arguably Auburn’s most important commit to date, Johnson gives the Tigers a blue chip prep offensive tackle for the first time since Calvin Ashley and Austin Troxell in 2017. Johnson is likely to take official visits this fall so Auburn will have to fight off Notre Dame, Florida and Florida State to hang onto their coveted OT commit but I feel good about that happening right now. Give Johnson a year of development and I think he will be ready to make an impact as early as 2022.

3* OT Rod Orr | 6’7” | 296 lbs | Gadsden, AL

Orr doesn’t yet hold an offer from Auburn but that could soon change. His stock is on the rise, moving to blue chip status in 247’s most recent ranking update. The instate standout is considering Florida State, Mississippi State and Ole Miss at the moment but an Auburn offer would likely shake things up in a major way. The Tigers are swinging for the fences hoping to land one of Tommy Brockermeyer, Amarius Mims and Savion Byrd. If they strike out on all three don’t be surprised if Orr lands an offer and joins Auburn class soon after.

3* OT J’Marion Gooch | 6’7” | 340 lbs | Seymour, TN | Auburn Commit

Gooch recently told AuburnUndercover’s Keith Niebuhr he’s dropped 18 lbs putting him at a slim 340 lbs. His goal is to play at 330 which feels like a good number for a kid his size. Auburn is high on his upside but will likely have to fight to keep his pledge as instate Tennessee continues to pursue as now does UGA. Again, if you are bored and need a pick me up, I highly recommend checking out Gooch’s tape.

3* OL Garner Langlo | 6’7” | 270 lbs | Ocala, FL | Auburn Commit

Despite his height, Langlo’s future might in the interior of Auburn’s offensive line. He currently plays guard for his run heavy high school program which is loaded with D1 offensive line talent. There’s some Braden Smith to his game and if he can even come close to that type of production, Auburn will be VERY happy with this pickup.

4* OG Jaeden Roberts | 6’5” | 340 lbs | Houston, TX | Auburn Commit

It was believed that if Auburn could flip Dematrius Davis they would have a great chance at landing his teammate Jaeden Roberts. Turns out that belief had merit. Auburn beat out Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma State and plenty others to land the big man’s pledge. A physical freak, Roberts will bring a much needed edge to the interior of Auburn’s offensive line.

4* OG Dietrich Pennington | 6’5” | 326 lbs | Cordova, TN

I know very little about Pennington’s recruitment outside of the fact Auburn is in his top 5 and if Clemson has a spot for him he likely goes there. But Dabo’s Tigers seem to be prioritizing other OL at the moment which makes me think this will end up an Auburn v Florida State battle. The Tigers would like another interior OL if possible and Pennington feels as good a bet as any right now.

4* DT Lee Hunter | 6’5” | 292 lbs | Eight Mile, AL | Auburn Commit

Auburn will lose at least two interior players after the 2020 season in Tyrone Truesdell and Daquan Newkirk. If Coynis Miller has the breakout season some expect he will, that number could climb to three. The Tigers will need at least one immediate impact player in this 2021 class for next season. Hunter is that guy. Auburn will have to fend off Alabama, Georgia, Florida State and Tennessee to keep Hunter in the class but I see that happening for now. Hunter is one of the most dominating defensive tackle prospects in the country and has the skillset to thrive on the Plains under Coach G’s tutelage.

4* DT Marquis Robinson | 6’3” | 300 lbs | Milton, FL

A decision still looks far off for Robinson but Auburn is clearly the team to beat in his recruitment. The Milton standout is also strongly considering the instate Noles but the Tigers have been on Robinson for quite awhile. Pairing him with Hunter would give Auburn an excellent defensive tackle class in 2021.

3* DE Tobechi Okoli | 6’5” | 250 lbs | Kansas City, MO

File this name away. Auburn is chasing some higher ranked talent in the likes of Leonard Taylor, Shambre Jackson, Dylan Brooks and Keanu Koht but the Tigers also really like Okoli. Auburn only offered in May but immediately made his top group. Nebraska looks to be the team to beat at the moment but don’t sleep on Auburn’s chances in this race.

NR DE/Buck Jimmori Robinson | 6’6’ | 248 lbs | Alexanderia, VA

Robinson is likely to be a top 10 JUCO prospect in the 2021 class and someone Auburn’s defensive staff is extremely high on. After a solid redshirt freshman season at Dodge City, Robinson transferred to Monroe Community College in Rochester, NY which has a loaded defensive line heading into the 2020 season. I don’t think it’s a definite that Auburn takes a JUCO lineman in this class but if they do Robinson is likely the choice.

4* Buck Jeremiah Williams | 6’3” | 224 lbs | Birmingham, AL

Williams is unquestionably the top man on Auburn’s board at the Buck. The Ramsay standout is coming off a 14 sack junior season and is being pursued by pretty much every major football program in the country. However, this likely ends up being an instate battle with the Tigers possibly holding the edge at the moment. Williams wants to take some visits before making a decision. Oklahoma and Florida lurk as out of state threats.

5* LB Smael Mondon | 6’3” | 220 lbs | Dallas, GA

I have zero confidence in this prediction but I have no idea who to pick at linebacker if not one of the studs T-WILL is chasing. The nation’s #2 ranked OLB by 247 Composite hinted a commitment would come in June but that doesn’t look likely at the moment. Both Auburn and Tennessee have made this is a legitimate three team race with the Dawgs. I still think UGA is gonna be tough to beat but I also believe in T-WILL’s ability on the trail. If Auburn gets Mondon they likely would not take any other linebackers sans Xavian Sorey.

4* CB Nyland Green | 6’2” | 183 lbs | Covington, GA

Over the past few weeks, Auburn has started trending the right direction with Green. In fact, there are some who believe the Tigers are the team to beat. But Auburn has had moments of confidence in the past when facing off with Clemson for top Georgia talent only to be disappointed in the end. But Green has a strong relationship with Auburn’s staff and is very close with Dre Butler. Will it be enough for the Tigers to snag one of the best DBs in the country? Let’s hope so.

3* CB Kamari Lassiter | 6’0” | 185 lbs | Tuscaloosa, AL

Lassiter’s offer list and rating do not jive. Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Florida and Florida State are all in hot pursuit of the nation’s 25th ranked cornerback. The Tigers appear to be sitting in a pretty good spot this summer but the Tide might be tough to beat if they push. For now, I am going to project him landing with the Tigers.

4* DB Markeivous Brown | 6’0” | 170 lbs | Bradenton, FL

There hasn’t been much buzz around Brown’s recruitment but this is a kid Wesley McGriff really likes. Auburn hasn’t had a ton of success recruiting IMG but that could change this cycle. The Tigers will have to beat out Florida and Ole Miss to land Brown’s pledge but I like where they sit right now in this race.

3* DB Tar’varish Dawson | 5’10” | 175 lbs | Lehigh Acres, FL | Auburn Commit

Dawson will get a shot on the offensive side of the ball but I think his future is on defense. A speedster from south Florida, Auburn has had a lot of success putting kids like Dawson in the league. He’s someone that could have an early impact on special teams.

4* S Kamren Kinchens | 5’11” | 201 lbs | Miami, FL

Kinchens is set to make his decision on July 11th. This is essentially a two team race between Auburn and Miami. A month ago I really liked where Auburn stood in his recruitment. My confidence though has steadily dropped over the past few weeks. The Canes already hold pledges from four of his teammates including beating out UGA for 4-star WR Romello Brinson. I think Auburn is still very much in this battle but Miami might currently hold the edge. Still, it wouldn’t shock me if he picked the Canes now but Auburn stayed after him and pulled off the flip come signing day.

3* S Phillip O’Brien Jr | 6’0” | 169 lbs | Deerfield Beach, FL | Auburn Commit

The most underrated commitment in Auburn’s 2021 class, O’Brien Jr remains solid to the Tigers despite the continued pursuit by Florida State and Michigan. His commitment came as a surprise back in March but he’s been a vocal recruiter for the Tigers on social media. I think he’s a top 200 player in this class and will be an early impact player on the back end of Auburn’s defense next fall.
