Freeman joins defensive end Nick Fairley as Auburn's junior college signings.

Another, running back Onterrio McCalebb from Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va., plans to sign with Auburn next week according to AuburnSports.com. He will enroll in January.

The 6-foot, 225-pound Freeman earned All-America honors in 2007 after helping Mississippi Gulf Coast to a national title. He made 65 tackles, with 17 for a loss and five sacks. He redshirted this year. He has three years of eligibility left.
