It was another good week for Auburn commits.

With plenty of guys resting up on their bye weeks, plenty of Auburn's 31 total commits across the 2025 and 2026 classes were back in action. Some games were delayed or cancelled by Hurricane Helene, but here are some stats from the future Tigers' games.

We'll lead off with Shadarius Toodle, who is this week's Big Cat of the Week for the numbers he put up in Cottage Hill's first win of the season.

Shadarius Toodle, 2026 LB — Mobile, Ala.

It was another monster week for Auburn's highest-rated commit in the 2026 class, as Toodle was active on both sides of the ball. He had a three-yard touchdown run and five receptions for 92 yards receiving on offense. Defensively, he had 17 tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks in the 41-0 win over Choctaw County.

Season stats: 87 tackles, 12 TFL, 2 sacks, 15 car, 97 yds, TD, 13 rec, 186 yds

Season stats: 46 tackles, 11 TFL, 5 sacks, INT

Jakaleb Faulk, 2025 LB — Highland Home, Ala.

Once again, Faulk was active on both sides of the ball as Highland Home continued its dominant season with a 56-6 win at Brantley last Thursday. He had one 51-yard rush, and two receptions for 10 yards on offense. Faulk also added seven tackles, a tackle for loss and an interception.

Season stats: 36.5 tackles, 11 TFL, INT, sack, 1 car, 51 yds, 6 rec, 120 yds, TD

Elijah Melendez, 2025 LB — Kissimmee, Fla.

Season stats: 28 tackles, TFL, 2 INT, FR

Donovan Starr, 2025 CB — Brentwood, Tenn.

Starr did not record any stats in Ravenwood's 37-0 win over Independence.

John McGuire, 2025 P — Alabaster, Ala.

It wasn't the prettiest kicking game this season for McGuire, who missed a PAT and a field goal. Regardless, he continues to showcase his punting abilities, which is what Auburn likes most about McGuire. He had four punts that went for an average of 46.8 yards per punt.

Season stats: 23/25 PAT, 22 Punts, 43.3 YPP, 63 Long, 2/3 FG, 35 Long
