2023 4-star OT Clay Wedin visits Auburn, plans to return
Four-star offensive tackle Clay Wedin on Friday returned to Auburn for an unofficial visit.
It was Wedin’s second trip to Auburn. His first came in November for the Iron Bowl.
“The visit went really well,” Wedin said. “I was really impressed with everything I saw. We did a tour of the current athletic facilities and saw what they are building and will be finishing up this June for their new facility. I can’t wait to see what that looks like.”
Wedin, from Carrollwood Day in Tampa, Fla., arrived in Auburn Friday afternoon and stayed until the evening. During his visit, he met extensively with Auburn offensive line coach Will Friend.
“I got to sit down and talk over some technique with him,” Wedin said. “I feel like he is a really good coach and could develop me. Overall, he knows how to develop offensive linemen and get them into the league, and not only get them there, but keep them there.”
Wedin impressed with culture at Auburn
Wedin also saw first-hand the culture second-year coach Bryan Harsin is building at Auburn.
“Culture is also important to me and I’m really impressed with what Coach Harsin is doing,” Wedin said. “He’s still building it, but I’m impressed with what he’s done so far.”
Wedin already plans to return for a third trip.
“I will most definitely be back to Auburn at some point,” Wedin said. “The campus is beautiful. I really like some of the development I’ve seen from Auburn.
“I feel like their offense translates well to the NFL. That’s important to me because the NFL is my goal. It would make it an easier transition for me if I’m blessed enough to get the opportunity.”
Wedin is the No. 15 offensive tackle and No. 317 overall recruit in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally-weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
Wedin will be at Alabama’s Junior Day on Saturday.
