A consensus top 40 cornerback in the 2025 class, the 6-2, 175-pound defensive back is the ideal replacement for the recently flipped Dante Core, who Hugh Freeze lost to Ole Miss earlier this week. Although Arnoux had been committed to USC since June, Hugh Freeze and his staff continued trying to flip him throughout the late summer and fall.

Auburn has flipped three-star defensive back Shamar Arnoux from USC. Arnoux, who is from Carrollton, Ga., had been committed to USC since June. He took an official visit to Auburn in July and said the Tigers had a shot.

Shamar Arnoux has pulled the trigger on another big flip in the 2025 recruiting cycle. After a string of visits to the Plains since the summer, Arnoux has flipped his commitment from USC to Auburn just less than three aways until National Signing Day.
