CFB insider weighs in on 4-star safety Anquon Fegans amid commitment dilemma between LSU and Auburn

As the commitment date of July 29, 2024, draws near, four-star safety Anquon Fegans from Thompson High School in Alabama has become a sought-after recruit. Fegans, standing 6-foot-1 and weighing 190 pounds, is known for his exceptional physical traits, which make him a prime target for top programs like LSU and Auburn.

Jeffery Lee from On3 has shared his insights on the situation, highlighting the potential implications of Fegans' recent visits:

"It could be trouble, as we all know in recruiting, anytime a kid takes a visit right before a commitment, could be trouble for the team that is, uh, trending for him."

"I just really feel like this one was over a long time ago. I do. I feel like Charles Kelly coming in there making a big impact with Anquon Fagans, his father. And if you don't, if you don't recall, uh, Fagans, his brother just transferred in as a preferred welcome to Auburn."

Anquon Fegans is ranked No. 53 overall and No. 4 among safeties in the nation by On3. Auburn is currently seen as the frontrunner for his commitment, with On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine giving them an 80.8% chance. Additionally, Auburn holds four crystal ball predictions from 247Sports experts.

In an interview with On3’s Steve Wiltfong, Anquon Fegans's father, Antwon, emphasized the strong bond with Auburn's coaching staff, particularly with Coach Charles Kelly.

"The relationship me and Coach (Charles) Kelly got is probably the best relationship I have with any coach,” Antwon said. “The relationship he has with (Anquon).”

With Auburn's 2025 recruiting class currently ranked No. 10 nationally, adding Fegans would significantly bolster their defense.

Anquon Fegans set to announce college decision after final visits

Anquon Fegans is set to revisit LSU on July 26. Auburn is currently favored by On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine, but LSU, Georgia, and Clemson remain strong contenders. Meanwhile, Alabama is also making a final push, with a possible visit to Tuscaloosa on the horizon.

“We love LSU,” said his father, Antwon Fegans. “That’s a place everyone in my family loves. We love LSU. That’s a nice vibe. Death Valley is a special place. A lot of great DBs come out of there. A lot of history. Some of the best DBs ever came out of LSU.”

Following LSU, the family will attend Auburn's Big Cat Weekend on July 27.

“It’s something special about The Plains,” noted Antwon. “Me and my wife love that place. It’s special down there. It’s the people on The Plains.”

Ranked as the nation’s No. 5 safety and No. 57 prospect overall by On3, Anquon Fegans boasts 59 tackles and seven interceptions from his junior year, entering his senior year with 18 career picks.
