Auburn secures commitment from four-star 2026 quarterback Peyton Falzone, flipping him from Penn State. Falzone, impressed by Auburn's tradition and blend of academics and athletics, chose the Tigers over his home-state Nittany Lions.

Auburn secured a much-needed recruiting victory Thursday when it flipped Top247 quarterback Peyton Falzone from Penn State. The Class of 2026 prospect gives the Tigers momentum on the trail after coach Hugh Freeze fell under the microscope for a slow start to the cycle.

Falzone, a rising senior at Nazareth High School and rated a four-star quarterback by several scouting services and websites, had chosen Penn State over Utah, Iowa, Rutgers, and Syracuse. Falzone, 6-5, 208 pounds, made his decision to attend Penn State in April.
