Eli Stove | Niceville, Florida
Four-star prospect Eli Stove nearly committed to Auburn on A-Day following his visit, but decided to hold off. The Tigers are still considered the overwhelming favorite to land the 6-foot-1, 178-pounder, who is ranked as the No. 7 wide receiver in the 247Sports Composite. (Wesley Sinor/wsinor@al.com)

Sam Bruce | Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Sam Bruce is on the smaller side at 5-foot-8, 180 pounds, but is quick and explosive. He is reportedly "70 percent" committed to Miami. Bruce is the former teammate of current Auburn quarteraback Sean White, and the connection has proved valuable for the Tigers. He is expected to visit the Plains for Big Cat Weekend later this month and may also take an official visit in the fall. Bruce is the No. 4 receiver in the 247Sports Composite. (247Sports)

Taj Williams | Tallahassee, Florida
Taj Williams is the nation's top-ranked junior college wide receiver in the 247Sports Composite, and Auburn figures to play a big role in his recruitment. Williams has been recruited by the Tigers since he was in high school and picked up his new offer Feb. 11. The 6-foot-4, 180-pounder at Iowa Western Community College will take officials visits to Auburn and Alabama this fall, but TCU is currently his favorite school. (Iowa Western Community College)

Tre Nixon | Viera, Florida
The 6-foot-1, 170-pounder visited Auburn with his mother two weekends ago, and Tigers offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee has come to see him multiple times. Nixon claims no leaders, but told 247Sports Auburn is among the schools that stand out with Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Penn State. (247Sports)

Josh Imatorbhebhe | Suwanee, Georgia
Josh Imatorbhebhe committed to USC on Monday, but there are still eight and a half months left until National Signing Day. Given Auburn's recruiting success in the state of Georgia, the Tigers could jump back into the mix and keep him closer to home. The four-star prospect visited the Plains for the fourth time April 18 and said the Tigers were a factor. Auburn made his list of seven favorites last week. (247Sports)

Binjimen Victor | Pompano Beach, Florida
Binjimen Victor, the nation's No. 11 wide receiver in the 247Sports Composite, doesn't appear to be nearing a decision. Auburn has been in the mix for some time and are selling the 6-foot-4, 170-pounder as being the next Sammie Coates. Florida is considered the leader right now, but that could change if Victor visits the Plains again this summer. (247Sports)

Kyle Davis | Lawrenceville, Georgia
Kyle Davis put himself back on the market this week. The four-star prospect decommitted from South Carolina Monday night and hears from Auburn's Dameyune Craig nearly every day. Georgia, however, will likely be the biggest threat to land this 6-foot-2, 211-pounder who is the nation's No. 5 receiver in the 247Sports Compsosite. (247Sports)

Darnell Salomon | Miami, Florida
At 6-foot-3, 198 pounds, four-star prospect Darnell Salomon is another receiver to watch. He visited the Plains last year and will likely return this summer. Salomon plans to watch Auburn this fall to determine if the Tigers are a good fit. He is the No. 12 wider receiver in the 247Sports Composite. (247Sports)

Nico Collins | Pinson, Alabama
2017 prospect Nico Collins is an emerging in-state talent who already holds offers from Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, Louisivlle, Mississippi State and Ole Miss. It's unclear if Collins is leaning toward a specific school given the time remaining in his recruitment, but the Tigers are expected to be a factor. The 6-foot-4, 185-pounder is a four-star prospect and the No. 11 wide receiver in the 247Sports Composite for the 2017 class. (Dennis Victory/AL.com)
