11:30 a.m. We’ll be taking a break from the live blog from here, as we are headed to Central High School (Phenix City, Ala.) for wide receiver Justyn Ross’ signing. The plan is to stream the announcement live on our Facebook; however, signal is sometimes an issue within Central’s indoor practice facility. Either way, we’ll keep you updated!

10:40 a.m. Four-star defensive tackle Coynis Miller Jr. (Birmingham) has signed with Auburn. He committed to the Tigers on Oct. 14.

10:30 a.m. Four-star wide receiver Anthony Schwartz (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) has signed with Auburn. He committed to the Tigers on Jan. 4.

10:25 a.m. Cam Taylor is also signing with Nebraska. It appeared that Auburn made a late push for the three-star defensive back.

10:05 a.m. While we await on word from defensive back Cam Taylor's signing, here's an interesting note on a former Auburn Tiger. Marlon Character, a former four-star who left Auburn last summer, has signed with Louisville.

9:45 a.m. Caleb Tannor has signed with Nebraska. This was not a surprise, as many predicted Tannor would be a Cornhusker.

9:30 a.m. Tannor's signing is a little behind schedule, but Auburn has picked up another letter of intent in the meantime. Three-star cornerback Roger McCreary (Mobile) is officially a Tiger. Make it two in-state signees so far this morning.

8:35 a.m. Auburn picked up its first in-state signee on Wednesday from four-star running back Harold Joiner from Birmingham. Joiner committed to the Tigers on Jan. 14. We're minutes from the commitment announcement from four-star defensive end/linebacker Caleb Tannor, who will be choosing between Auburn, Florida and Nebraska.

8:15 a.m. The day is just starting, but the Tigers already have the letters of intent from three-star punter Arryn Siposs (Melbourne, Australia), four-star wide receiver Matthew Hill (Snellville, Ga.) and four-star buck linebacker Richard Jibunor (Athens, Ga.).

All three were previously Auburn commits, though it looked like Hill could flip on the lead-up to today.

8 a.m. Auburn’s recruiting frenzy has finally reached its ultimate moment. Today is National Signing Day, which gives the Tigers’ recruits another chance to sign on the dotted line.

Auburn begins Wednesday with what 247Sports considers the No. 10 class in the national. We’ll monitor where the Tigers’ class moves throughout the day.

We’ll be updating Auburn’s additions to its Class of 2018 throughout the day. In case you missed it, here’s the list of 15 players Auburn already secured back in the early signing period. All ratings are via 247Sports.
