Four-star defensive lineman TJ Lindsey of Little Rock (AR) IMG Academy announced his commitment to Auburn Saturday afternoon.

The 6-foot-5, 265 pounder chose the Tigers over Texas, Alabama, and Miami.

“Auburn just felt like the one, when I went up there they jus took my heart in everything from the fans, facilities, and coaches. The relationships I built with the staff were real and genuine.”

His relationship with the coaching staff and their plan for him played a role in his decision.

“My relationship with coach Garret and King are my biggest. We’ve all clicked since day 1 and all match personality wise. They plan on me playing DE.”
