Auburn football secured a major recruiting victory when it flipped four-star quarterback Peyton Falzone from Penn State on Thursday. Falzone is a consensus four-star prospect in the 2026 football recruiting class and represents an important gain for Auburn after falling behind in this year’s cycle.

Head coach Hugh Freeze dipped into his old bag of tricks to land the commitment of four-star 2026 quarterback Peyton Falzone, flipping him from Penn State. The move comes before the recruiting dead period, which gives the Tigers momentum to land several other key targets as the summer hits a dry point.
