Nazareth’s Falzone Withdraws Auburn Commitment Before Signing Day
Peyton Falzone, the senior quarterback from Nazareth Area High School, has officially decommitted from Auburn University. This development comes amidst significant changes in Auburn’s coaching staff, including the firing of head coach Hugh Freeze on November 2. Following this, Auburn appointed Alex Golesh, previously head coach at South Florida, as the new leader of the program.
Nazareth High School announced a signing ceremony for Falzone, originally scheduled for Wednesday, which marks the start of the Division I football early signing period. The event was briefly postponed but has been rescheduled for 3 p.m. on the same day.
Peyton Falzone’s Impressive Stats
Despite facing challenges this season due to a broken clavicle, Falzone showcased his skills in a limited timeframe. He played in just three and a half games but managed to record:
- 1,176 passing yards
- 11 passing touchdowns
- 195 rushing yards
- 6 rushing touchdowns
Throughout his high school career, Falzone’s numbers are noteworthy:
- Over 5,800 passing yards
- 53 passing touchdowns
- 1,347 rushing yards

Impacts of Coaching Changes
The recent coaching shake-ups have affected several programs vying for Falzone’s commitment. Earlier in the season, he had decommitted from Virginia Tech and Penn State, both of which have also seen their coaches dismissed. Brent Pry of Virginia Tech and James Franklin of Penn State were both relieved of their duties, with Franklin recently being appointed as the new head coach at Virginia Tech.
The changes at Auburn and other major programs leave Falzone’s recruitment landscape uncertain. As the signing day approaches, his next steps remain highly anticipated by college football fans and analysts alike.
As the situation develops, followers can expect updates on Falzone’s decision and the implications for the teams involved.
