Auburn head coach Alex Golesh offered Dent on Dec. 16 of last year, and has quickly put Auburn near the front of Dent’s recruitment. Dent told Sam Spiegelman of Rivals that the Auburn coaching staff stays in constant contact with him and that he enjoyed his recent visit to the Plains. According to 247Sports, Dent will take an official visit to Auburn on June 19.

Dent is the No. 1 recruit from the state of Arkansas according to 247Sports’ rankings, and is the No. 68 running back in the class. Auburn is working to add the 6-0, 200-pound back to its 2027 recruiting class that has two members, four-star DL Donivan Moore and three-star TE Tank Proctor, and ranks No. 38 nationally.
