Lineman Picks Tigers

Scout.com's number three center in the nation has picked Auburn over the Alabama Crimson Tide today. Reese Dismukes, out of Spanish Fort, Alabama, announced his decision today at a ceremony at his high school. He is on the Rivals 250 Watch List and had offers from schools such as Florida State, Georgia Tech and Ole Miss, among many others.

Dismukes plans on graduating in December and enrolling in the spring of 2011. He adds to an already great 2011 offensive line class for the Tigers with Rivals 250 Watch List guard Spencer Region and Marietta, Georgia guard Thomas O'Reilly are already on board.

Dismukes says he may take other visits but he is 100% Auburn.

Recruiting: Quarterbacks

With Jeff Driskel off the board, Auburn will look elsewhere for a quarterback for the 2011 recruiting class. Auburn has extended offers to three other quarterbacks: Christian LeMay, Kiehl Frazier and C.J. Uzomah.

LeMay is a pro-style quarterback out of Matthews, North Carolina with good size and good speed. At 6'2", 200 lbs., the Rivals 250 Watch List QB runs a 4.59 second 40 yard dash. LeMay is likely to be listed among the top three quarterbacks in the 2011 class. LeMay visited Auburn for the first time two weeks ago and plans a return trip for an official visit in the fall. He lists his top three as Georgia, Clemson and Auburn and it appears UGA is currently the team to beat. A decision likely will not come until after his official visits.

Kiehl Frazier has even more size on LeMay and is listed as a dual-threat quarterback. Frazier, out of Springdale, Arkansas, is likely to be named the top quarterback in the 2011 class. Frazier plays for Shiloh Christian which is where Gus Malzahn coached and they still run Malzahn's offense. The 6'3", 215 lb. Elite 11 quarterback has offers from pretty much every school imaginable. Frazier has been to the Plains many times and I see this as an Auburn, Arkansas battle, with LSU and Miami looking in from the outside. A decision should come in June or July with the Tigers hoping to get Frazier on campus for Big Cat Weekend.

C.J. Uzomah, another dual-threat quarterback, is the biggest of all of the quarterbacks offered at 6'5", 230 lbs which is why Rivals lists him as an athlete. Uzomah is being recruited by Auburn as a quarterback as are many teams. The North Gwinnett High School standout has offers from most SEC and ACC schools. Uzomah has been on the Plains a couple of times but says he is pretty wide open right now. Uzomah says he hopes to have a final decision before the season begins but only if he knows for sure that is what he wants.

Side Note: Do not forget Reese Dismukes will announce his college decision tomorrow at his high school. At the moment, Auburn appears in a great position.

Two HUGE Visitors Today

Auburn had two big names on campus for practice today. Brey Cook of Arkansas and A.J. Johnson of Georgia. Both are on the Rivals 250 Watch List.

UPDATED: Spencer Region and Reese Dismukes were indeed visiting Alabama's practice today. I will let you know what I hear.

Recruiting Updates

• Star center Reese Dismukes will decide between Auburn and Alabama on April 21 according to AuburnSports.com. Dismukes has family connections at both schools and it is not known which way he will sway. He has visited both schools twice in the last couple of weeks and may make a few more trips before he announces.
• One of the top overall players in the nation, Kris Frost, was in Auburn this weekend and was absolutely blown away. Most schools are recruiting him at linebacker but Auburn will give him the option to play receiver. He says his top schools, in no order, are Auburn, Michigan, North Carolina and Cal. He will return for A-Day and, according to Rivals, attempt to bring star quarterback teammate Christian LeMay.

Dismukes is Set

According to Rivals, Reese Dismukes is ready to make a decision. It will come in the next two weeks and will be between Auburn and Alabama. Dismukes visited Auburn this weekend, Alabama today and plans to return to the Plains Friday. He does not claim a leader.

Weekend Wrap Up

• Jonathan Rose picked up an offer from Auburn right before his visit and it went incredibly well. I expect him to commit to Auburn soon. Rose also has offers from Alabama and Florida State.
• Commitment Spencer Region visited Auburn this weekend with his family. He says he cannot wait to get to Auburn and now plans to do whatever he can to graduate a semester early and enroll in Auburn next spring to get a head start with spring practices.
• Region was joined on his visit by Rivals 250 Watch List center Reese Dismukes. Like Region, Dismukes was set to commit to Alabama but has had a change of heart. Many are stating he is an Auburn lean now and I believe it as well. He and Region are friends and have spoken about playing together in college. Dismukes will make a decision within the next month or two between Auburn, Alabama and Florida State according to AuburnUndercover. Dismukes also plans on graduating early.
• AuburnSports.com tells us Georgia linebacker Demarcus Sherod took in Auburn this weekend and left with Auburn on top. He was All-Dekalb county as a junior while racking up 122 tackles. It is not clear if Sherod has an offer from the Tigers yet or not.
• JaBrian Niles was also in Auburn. He says he grew up an Auburn fan and really hopes that they offer but says he has no favorites. He currently has offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Ole Miss and Texas Tech.

Weekend Visitors

Auburn will be hosting a number of unofficial visitors for the 2011 class this weekend. Among them are:

• Spencer Region
• Jonathan Rose
• Reese Dismukes

There may be a few others that I will list once they are confirmed on campus. Also, it should be noted that Alabama commitment Brent Calloway visited Auburn during the week this past week.
