Auburn football head coach Hugh Freeze has a reputation for flipping recruits, and he may be targeting a Miami commit in his next recruitment effort. Elijah Melendez, a highly sought-after linebacker from Kissimmee, Florida, has scheduled an official visit to Auburn as part of his summer visits. According to reports from Auburn Undercover, Melendez is set to begin his visits on May 31 in Auburn.
Melendez is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 15 linebacker in the 2025 cycle and the No. 20 player in Florida. He has received offers from top programs such as Colorado, Ohio State, Florida, and Michigan.
