Hugh Freeze has done it again.

The first-year head coach pulled off another big-time flip on Wednesday, when four-star cornerback Kayin Lee flipped from Ohio State to Auburn. He's the Tigers' eighth flip in the class, joining edge Keldric Faulk, cornerback Colton Hood, safety Sylvester Smith, defensive lineman Stephen Johnson and offensive linemen Tyler Johnson, Connor Lew and Izavion Miller.

Lee had been committed to the Buckeyes since late June.

Lee is one of the premier corners in Georgia, ranked as the No. 2 cornerback in the state. He's the third corner to join Auburn's 2023 class, alongside Loachapoka's JC Hart and previously mentioned Hood.

Auburn had lost a few commitments since Freeze's staff took over, but the class surged toward early signing day with a number of commitments and flips.

Auburn wasn't considered to be a strong contender for Lee back in the summer, who took visits to Nebraska, Oregon and Ohio State. Following his June visit to Columbus, Ohio, Lee made the commitment to the Buckeyes.

It didn't take long for Freeze to get the 5-foot-11 Georgia native on campus. Lee took an official visit the weekend following Freeze's hiring and the Tigers' recruiting efforts paid off when Lee flipped.

He is rated as the No. 211 player nationally and the 18th best player out of Georgia.
