Top Quarterback Commits!

Possibly the number one quarterback in the 2011 class has committed to Auburn today on his Big Cat Weekend visit. Kiehl Frazier became the seventh commitment of the 2011 class and may not be the last commitment of the weekend.

Frazier, who has offers from well over thirty schools, chose Auburn over Arkansas. He also had offers from Clemson, Colorado, Duke, Florida, Illinois, Kansas State, LSU, Memphis, Miami, Michigan, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Oklahoma State, Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Ohio, TCU, Texas Tech, Tulsa, UCLA, Vanderbilt, West Virginia and Western Michigan.

Frazier is ranked a four star on Scout and the fourth best quarterback in the nation. Rivals is yet to release their rankings but I would expect him in the top three.

Last season, as a junior, Frazier passed for 3,817 yards, 48 touchdowns and only 14 interceptions. He also rushed for 764 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Auburn Picks Up New Commitment

Landrum has offers from Auburn, Alabama, Duke, Memphis, South Alabama, Southern Miss, UAB and Tennessee, among others.

Landrum is 6'2", 215 lbs and runs a 4.5 second 4o yard dash. Landrum has a 2.89 GPA. He had 68 tackles and 12 sacks last season at outside linebacker.

Delaware Sleeper D-Lineman Commits!

Bear, Delaware defensive lineman Angelo Blackson has committed to play for the Auburn Tigers according to AuburnSports.com. The commitment is reminiscent of Justin Delaine's last season because Blackson is yet to even have a Rivals profile but is on Scout. Blackson, who is a 6'5", 295 lb. defensive tackle, had offers from Auburn, Maryland, Tennessee, N.C. State, Missouri and Pitt, among others.

Blackson was on the Plains for A-Day last month and was recruited by Tommy Thigpen. Blackson is a two sport star, leading his basketball team to a 18-1 record. He had 56 tackles, 11 for loss and 7 sacks last season.

According to Rivals, Blackson is coached by Dewayne Thomas, who coached Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie at Tennessee State and Thomas thinks Blackson has NFL potential.

He also was his team's punter, punting 40 times for an average of 36 yards and a long of 52. He also had one blocked punt and one safety last season.

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.

O'Reilly Commits!

Auburn added another big time offensive lineman Tuesday night with the addition of offensive lineman Thomas O'Reilly. The star guard out of Pope High School in Marietta, GA announced his decision on Atlanta radio station 790 The Zone.

Davis comes in at commitment number 23 for the Tigers. Davis has flown under the radar by most recruiting services and has not been rated yet by Rivals nor Scout but is rated 76 out of 100 on ESPN.com and ranked the 90th best athlete. Davis also played quarterback in high school at Woodlawn in Birmingham. He also had offers from South Carolina, Kentucky, Southern Miss and UAB.

Many say he may have the most upside of any player in the state. Here is the article "Woodlawn's Chris Davis is a diamond in the rough".

Top Running Back Chooses The Tigers!

The top running back in the nation according to ESPN.com, Michael Dyer, has announced his intention to play football at Auburn. The all time leading rusher in the state of Arkansas chose Auburn over Arkansas and Tennessee but held offers from just about every school in the nation.

Dyer is Auburn's biggest commitment thus far for the 2010 class. He named Auburn his leader very early in the process and the Tigers never really lost the lead. He even announced he would be committing to Auburn last Thursday but wanted to hold off on an official announcement for this morning after receiving his invitation to the Under Armour All American Game. His teammate, Dakota Mosley, has also named Auburn his leader.

Ed Christian Commits!

Big time offensive lineman Ed Christian has committed to Auburn! Christian took his official visit to Auburn this weekend and came away very impressed. He was previously committed to Florida State but de-committed after visiting Auburn for the Ball State game.

Christian, a 6'5", 280 lb. offensive lineman out of Valdosta, Georgia, says he pretty much knew he would be an Auburn Tiger after his first visit but decided to come back for an official. He is Auburn's 19th commitment in the 2010 class. He is a part of the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Super 11 for the best players from the state of Georgia.

Rivals rates him as a four star and the 29th best offensive tackle in the nation. Scout rates him at three stars and the 17th best tackle. He also had offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Tennessee and South Carolina, among others.

Punter Commits!

Steven Clark has committed to Auburn. The two star punter is Auburn's 18th commitment for 2010. Clark, out of Kansas City, Missouri, had offers from Iowa and Purdue. He and fellow Auburn kicker commitment Cody Parkey finished 1 and 2 at the Jamie Cole Kicking Camp.

Sanders Officially Commits!

Former Alabama commitment Craig Sanders has left the Crimson Tide for Auburn according to multiple reports. The four star defensive end committed to Alabama in May but has not heard from the Tide coaches much lately.

Sanders and Bama pledge Corey Grant visited Auburn for the West Virginia game. He is ranked the 12th best defensive end in the country by Rivals and the 199th best player in the nation. He is ranked the 7th best player in the state by Rivals. Sanders is also a four star on Scout and ranked the 20th best player on Scout. ESPN.com rates him a three star (79/100) and the 40th best defensive end.

Sanders is out of Ariton High School in Ariton, Alabama. As a junior he racked up 90 tackles and 9 sacks. Sanders also rushed for 1,057 yards and 16 touchdowns in only seven games. He was named Class 1A All State by ASWA as a junior and was a finalist for the Mr. Football award. As a sophomore he had 79 tackles, 19 sacks and blocked three kicks.

He has offers from Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, LSU, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Florida, Florida State, Clemson and Georgia. He is 6'4", 230 lbs. and runs a 4.6 second 40 yard dash. He projects to qualify with a 3.68 GPA and a 19 on the ACT, which he plans to retake. He will major in criminal justice and plans on enrolling in January.

Owens Commits!

Auburn has picked up a commitment from the number three player in the state, LaDarius Owens! Owens was recently rated number 98 in the Rivals 100 until dropping out of the top 100 last week. LaDarius Owens is the number 3 player in the state of Alabama and the number 7 outside linebacker in the country.

Owens had offers from most colleges and chose the Tigers over Alabama, Tennessee and LSU, among others. Owens' uncle, James, was Auburn's first ever black scholarship player. He is Auburn's 16th commitment for 2010 and tops off an amazing linebacker class that includes Jake Holland, Jawara White and Jessel Curry.

Owens is a four star on Rivals and Scout, ranked the number 20 OLB by Scout. He is a four star and rated 80/100 by ESPN.com and in the ESPNU 150. He is rated the second best player in the state by the Birmingham News.

Owens reports a 2.8 GPA and a 20 on the ACT.

Delaine Commits!

Auburn picked up its fifteenth commitment today from in-state defensive end Justin Delaine (he is not in the Rivals or Scout databases yet). He picked up an offer today and committed immediately. Delaine has not been rated by any databases yet due to his coach not sending out his film. Today was the first time I had even heard of him. Delaine is supposed to be a stud who is an unknown in the state of Alabama.

He is 6'5", 225 lbs and runs a 4.5 second 40 yard dash. He is a track guy and projects as a speedy defensive end. He runs the 200 meter dash and 200 meter hurdles. Transferred from Sumter Count HS to Linden HS for this year. I am hearing Alabama insiders are even saying he is a real sleeper. Other offers include Troy, South Alabama, Mississippi State and Southern Miss but I expect more to come rolling in. All four teams that have seen him live offered him almost immediately.

"He's an active player who doesn't ever quit...he's got a good motor". --Stacey Watters, head coach.

Delaine had around 60 tackles and 12 sacks last season. He is possibly a sign and place commitment according to Rivals. He is still very raw but uses his hands well.

This information I am pulling from something he filled out himself as a sophomore. As a sophomore, he had interest in Auburn, FSU, UNC, Texas A&M and Michigan State. Plays baseball, football, basketball and runs track.

He was recruited by Phillip Lolley. More still to come....

Carter Commits

As expected, Auburn picked up its fourteenth commitment for the 2010 class today in Kenneth Carter.

The 6'5", 265 lb. defensive tackle picked Auburn over Ole Miss, Alabama and Kentucky. He also had offers from Southern Miss, Clemson and LSU according to Scout. Carter says he wanted to get the decision out of the way so he could focus on his senior season. As a junior, Carter racked up around 60 tackles and six sacks.

Carter is rated a three star on Rivals and Scout. Rivals ranks him the number 63 DT while Scout has him 60th.
