Auburn has experienced its second decommitment from the 2025 class this week, as 4-star linebacker Tyler Lockhart announced he is withdrawing his commitment.
Lockhart, who initially pledged to Hugh Freeze’s program in early April, took to social media to share his decision. The Mississippi native recently visited Mississippi State, where his brother plays, fueling speculation about his next move.
Lockhart currently holds two 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions favoring Mississippi State. His decommitment follows an official visit to Auburn earlier this month, after which he declared that Mississippi State was the only other program still in contention. This development suggests that Mississippi State could now be the frontrunner for Lockhart’s commitment. As the recruiting landscape continues to shift, all eyes will be on Lockhart to see if he reunites with his brother in Starkville.
