It was another productive week for Auburn commits.

Deuce Knight had a clean game, Alvin Henderson found the end zone often and several future Tigers hauled in receiving touchdowns. However, the Big Cat of the Week goes to Jakaleb Faulk for his performance against Pike Liberal Arts last week.

Here's how Faulk, along with several other Auburn commits, faired in their games.
