Auburn hosting 4-star Arizona TE Jackson Bowers for A-Day
There will be yet another big list of prospects for Auburn’s annual A-Day spring game. One of which will be 4-star tight end Jackson Bowers. He will be making the trip over from his hometown of Mesa, Arizona which is over 1,500 miles away. This is an impressive job to get him over for a visit early on in the recruiting year.
The Tigers have been getting elite prospects on campus every weekend. They have done it throughout each week as well. Rather than having a huge group every time, the Auburn coaching staff has enjoyed getting to focus their attention on individual recruits in a smaller group setting.
By all accounts, the recruits have enjoyed it too. However, this Saturday could be a bit bigger than usual. We are monitoring the potential visitors closely this week.
The Bowers File
Bowers is a 6-foot-4 245-pound tight end prospect from Mesa, Arizona (Mountain View). His lead recruiter at Auburn is TE coach Brad Bedell. He’s big, athletic, and a relentless blocker. He is a traditional NFL-like tight end prospect.
Bowers has a slew of offers from elite programs. Some of the notable programs include Oregon, LSU, Florida State, Ole Miss, and a recent offer from Alabama.
AuburnLive caught up with Bowers back in January shortly after being offered by the Tigers. He had this to say about Auburn: “I’m not familiar with Auburn but I’ve watched them play in the Iron Bowl many times. Seeing them compete at the highest level of college football has always appealed to me. There is definitely interest there with them being in the SEC and being a top 25 team almost every year.”
This will be Bowers’ first known visit to Auburn. The Tigers will be looking for at least one TE from the 2023 class depending on what the roster looks like after next season.
