Elite camp notebook
AUBURN | Auburn hosted an elite camp Friday afternoon that included a number of prospects from all over the Southeast.
Check below for updates on many of the standouts including several that walked away with MVP honors.
Hart ran a blistering 4.37 40-yard dash and then was a standout in 1-on-1’s earning defensive back upperclassman MVP honors. The honor student has nearly 20 offers including Mississippi State, Kansas State, Tulane, Western Kentucky and four Ivy league schools. Hart, who is hoping to earn an Auburn offer, got a lot of individual instruction from AU defensive backs coach Zac Etheridge during and after the camp.
“He said he was going to call me," said Hart. "They were singling me out a lot. They said something about an official visit. It would mean a lot because I grew up wanting it and dreaming about it.”
A Rivals250 linebacker, Overton has 20 offers including Tennessee, South Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, Arizona State, Syracuse and UCF. He earned upperclassman MVP honors at Auburn’s camp and spent a lot of time during and after the camp with defensive coordinator Jeff Schmedding, linebackers coach Christian Robinson and defensive analyst J.C. Sherritt.
“I think it went pretty good for me overall. I liked it. I enjoyed it,” said Overton. “They want me back up for a game. I like Auburn. I like the culture, I like the tradition. I like the home feel of it. It’s in-state so that’s a plus. I love all the coaches, especially Coach Schmedding, Coach Sherritt and Coach Rob.”
Williams was a standout on offense, running a 4.59 40-yard dash and then making plays against the linebackers in 1-on-1 drills. The 2024 running back already has offers from Georgia Tech, Boston College, Western Kentucky, FAU and Charlotte. He rushed for 1,431 yards and 16 touchdowns as a sophomore.
“I got here yesterday and I toured the campus and everything and it kinda feels like home,” said Williams. “It feels like somewhere I need to be. I loved the energy of the coaches.”
Swain is already shaping up to be one of the top in-state prospects for the class of 2025 and one of several Anniston (Ala.) High standouts camping at Auburn Friday. He already has an impressive list of offers including Auburn, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Kentucky, UAB, Memphis, Louisville and Western Kentucky. This was his second trip to AU this spring and he said the Tigers were among his early leaders.
“The camp went good. I liked it out there,” Swain said. “I like their coaches and how they treat you. My daddy was an Auburn fan.”
Harris was a standout during 1-on-1 drills against the defensive line and earned MVP honors. The 2024 offensive guard already has a half dozen offers including South Carolina, Mississippi State, Kentucky and Louisville. Friday was his second visit to Auburn this year.
“It went great,” said Harris. “I felt like I did really good. Really fun. Learned a lot, especially from Coach Friend. He helped me a lot with hand placement, taking to big of a step sometimes. I really like it here. It feels very friendly.”
Malachi’s younger brother was also a standout in 1-on-1 drills. The 2026 defensive end recently picked up his first offer from South Carolina.
"I’m proud, proud of myself but I’m going to keep working because it’s not over,” said the younger Harris. “Camp was fun. I learned a lot. Auburn is a great school.”
