Four-star RB Kingston Miles commits to Auburn over Alabama, Missouri

Kingston Miles, a four-star running back from St. Louis, Missouri, is one of the best players at his position in the 2027 class.

According to 247Sports, Miles is the No. 16 running back in the country. He's also ranked as the No. 4 recruit from the state of Missouri, which is a sneaky talent-laden state when it comes to developing both football and basketball stars.

Miles has 20 offers under his belt, and he had high interest in the in-state Missouri Tigers as well as the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Ultimately, though, the four-star decided to leave the state and commit to Alabama's biggest rival, the Auburn Tigers.

Miles committed to Auburn on Monday. A recent official visit with new head coach Alex Golesh and his staff really put Auburn over the edge.

"The people and culture are amazing," Miles told 247Sports after the official visit. "I have great relationships with the staff and coaches. It's like home away from home for real. It's a great environment, great atmosphere and great people. Everything is great at Auburn."

Auburn Tigers coming off huge recruiting weekend

This was a big recruiting weekend for the Tigers. Auburn had a ton of recruits on campus for official visits, and Golesh and his staff came away with multiple commits.

According to Golesh's social media signals, seven recruits committed to Auburn this past weekend. Kingston was the third to go public, joining three-star cornerback Nash Johnson and three-star kicker Noah Ash.
