Five on Friday: Five out of state linemen Auburn could land
Auburn is heavily in the mix with multiple players in their own state of Alabama. They are also in the mix with plenty of players from out of state as well. That, of course, includes offensive and defensive linemen.
Alabama, Georgia, and Florida have traditionally been the key states for Auburn, and that shouldn’t change. However, the recruiting footprint has expanded with Bryan Harsin’s staff. They intend to leave no stone unturned.
Here are five offensive and defensive linemen from out of state that Auburn has a realistic shot with.
OL, Connor Stroh, Frisco, Tex.
Stroh, the 6-foot-7 320-pound OL, just wrapped up an official visit at Auburn. It was his second known trip to Auburn. He is reportedly extremely high on the Tigers. The staff has begun to like their chances more and more with the big Texas OL, especially after his most recent visit.
OL, DJ Chester, McDonough, Ga.
Chester released a top 12 on Friday afternoon that included Auburn. According to our intel at AuburnLive, that was to be expected. He is one of the top OL on the board for Auburn. Chester is also extremely high on the Tigers. An official visit is in the works as he is finishing up with track season.
DL, Jordan Hall, Jacksonville, Fla.
The 4-star DL from Florida made a trip to Auburn in April. Since then, he has been a strong candidate to take an official visit. So far there is no news of that being set up, but it certainly can’t be ruled out. Auburn was very much impressed with him after seeing him in person. They will continue to recruit.
DL, Jamaal Jarrett, Greensboro, NC
Jarrett has yet to make a trip to Auburn, but that will change soon. He will be taking an official visit to Auburn in June. His close friend, Enyce Sledge, is a factor in his recruitment. As of right now, Auburn is probably behind others. With a strong visit, that could easily change.
OL, Connor Lew, Acworth, Ga.
Unlike many of the high priority prospects, Lew didn’t release a top schools cut. He, instead, posted where he’d be taking his official visits. That would mean the schools who didn’t get a visit are probably not real factors. Auburn was one of those schools and could be a serious factor for him.
