Auburn is off to an extraordinarily fast start in football recruiting, maybe the fastest ever. Already, 11 players have said publicly they plan to sign with Auburn in February.

Some are rated highly by recruiting services and some aren't, but all were high on Auburn's list. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been offered so early in the process.

Here's a brief look at each of Auburn's commitments:

The nephew of Auburn defensive end Antonio Coleman, Coleman had 116 tackles and nine sacks as a junior. Coleman was Auburn's first commitment.
