Auburn's Growing Pursuit of 2028 Quarterback Sam Sollie
Auburn's football program is emerging as a leading contender for Sam Sollie, a highly touted quarterback from the 2028 recruiting class. The Tigers' aggressive recruiting strategy, combined with the prospect's personal affinity for the university, has pushed their projected likelihood of landing the signal‑caller to 94 percent according to Rivals' Prediction Machine.
Rivals analyst Steve Wiltfong, who tracks the recruitment closely, highlighted the prediction in a recent analysis, noting that Sollie's status as an Auburn fan adds a compelling narrative to the recruitment story.
Other SEC powerhouses, including Alabama, Tennessee and Florida, remain in the mix, each seeking to sway a player who has demonstrated poise under pressure and a knack for delivering big performances in key games.
On the field, Sollie has compiled a standout 2025 season, throwing for 278 yards in the AHSAA Class 6A playoffs and posting seven games with over 100 passing yards. He completed 11 of 14 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown in a victory over Hazel Green, underscoring his ability to manage a high‑powered offense.
At 6‑3 and 190 pounds, the junior entering his senior year ranks No. 20 among Alabama prospects in the 2028 class, a testament to his blend of size, arm strength and accuracy.
Beyond the gridiron, Sollie's presence on social platforms such as X (Twitter) and Facebook has helped amplify his profile, drawing commentary from fans, analysts and fellow recruits as the recruitment cycle progresses.
