Driskel To Florida

Top quarterback target Jeff Driskel has committed to the Florida Gators. This leaves C.J. Uzomah, Kiehl Frazier and Christian LeMay as the top quarterback prospects for the Tigers in 2011.

Recruiting Catch Up: Offense

• Auburn's first junior day will be March 27th.
• Kiehl Frazier has named Auburn as one of his top schools according to Arkansas' Rivals site. Auburn's Rivals site lists Auburn as at the top but Trey Biddy of HawgSports.com says the Frazier family says AuburnSports.com took Frazier's quote out of context.
• Bradenton, FL running back Mike Blakely will visit Auburn's junior day on March 26-28. Florida and Clemson are currently his leaders but he says Auburn is now in the running.
• Center Reese Dismukes has eliminated Florida State and will make a decision between just Auburn and Alabama. Dismukes previously was a lean to Alabama but now appears to be a toss up. A decision is likely in the next month.
• Wide receiver Joseph Morrow has Auburn at the very top. He could pick up an offer soon but does not plan to make an early decision. He will return to Auburn on April 17th for A-Day.
• Onterio McCalebb's younger brother, Dwayne McCalebb, could be close to picking up an Auburn offer. The speedy running back and corner back plans to visit Auburn soon and the Tigers would likely receive a commitment if an offer is extended.
• Standout quarterback Jeff Driskel is planning on making a decision before his senior season. Driskel refuses to name favorites but it is well known that Driskel grew up a big Auburn fan and picked up an AU offer early but some think he may be a lean to Florida. Driskel is not planning any visits any time soon due to baseball.
• Top quarterback Christian LeMay has Auburn in his top seven and is planning a visit to the Plains in the spring or summer.
• Top tight end/offensive tackle Jordan Prestwood plans to visit Auburn for Big Cat Weekend in June.

Driskel

A lot of buzz has been surrounding 2011 quarterback prospect Jeff Driskel. Driskel has drawn comparisons to Tim Tebow and has already been invited to play in the Under Armour All American game next January (1 of only 19 invited thus far). Driskel grew up an Auburn fan and the Tigers appear to be the early leaders. He also has offers from Florida, Virginia Tech and Ole Miss. He recently told Auburn Undercover that the signing of Cam Newton will not affect his decision.

Driskel recently lit up the Under Armour All American junior combine and was the top quarterback at the Army All American junior combine. Definitely keep an eye on Driskel for the future.

Top 2011 QB To Visit

Jeff Driskel, who looks to be one of the top quarterbacks for 2011, will visit Auburn this weekend. He has an offer from the Tigers and has always been an Auburn fan. He wants to play both football and baseball in college.

Also, Auburn will have its first official visitor on the Plains next weekend. Punter Steven Clark from Kansas City will make the trip. He does not currently have an offer.

Never Too Early

To look at 2011 recruiting. Here are six written offers that will be sent out September 1st, the first day written offers are allowed for 2011:

• Jeff Driskel - Big quarterback from the state of Florida. Big Auburn fan all his life. It is early and he wants to look around but Auburn seems to have a big lead. Driskel could be an early MLB draft pick...says he would enjoy playing baseball and football in college.
• LaMichael Fanning - Defensive end that could be the top player in the state of Alabama. Just moved to Auburn High School. Early UGA lean but with Auburn in his backyard, look for the Tigers to make a push.
• Enrique Florence - Another Auburn fan. Could also be the top player in the state of Alabama. Also has offers from Alabama and UAB. Safety could play linebacker with a little more weight on his body.
• Kiehl Frazier - Pronounced "Kyle". Top Arkansas quarterback put up great numbers as a sophomore. Very fond of Gus Malzahn and his offense. MVP of the State Championship game. Could be an Auburn and Arkansas battle.
• Denzel Perryman - Linebacker out of Florida could a top player in the entire south. Already has offers from any school you can think of in the South. I do not see Auburn landing him and he will likely stay in state at Miami.
• Gabriel Wright - Columbus, GA defensive end very high on Auburn and UGA. Has previously named Auburn as his leader but Georgia as his first love. Goes to Carver and Carver and Georgia currently have a strained relationship. Wright could very well end up as a Tiger.

Three Recruiting Notes

• Tyrone Cornileus wanted a committable offer from Auburn but never received one and that is the reason he recently named Georgia Tech and Miami as his leaders.
• Khairi Fortt was named the defensive MVP at the Top Gun camp in Orlando last week.
• Junior quarterback Teddy Bridgewater received an offer from Auburn recently. That brings us to three 2011 quarterbacks to be offered along with Kiehl Frazier and Jeff Driskel.

Auburn Offers 2011 QB

Auburn gave pro style quarterback Jeff Driskel his first offer tonight. The Florida quarterback is said to resemble a "Tim Tebow type" quarterback and is a baseball star. The upcoming junior quarterback is a huge Auburn fan but is not ready to commit just yet, according to the Orlando Sentinel. The 6'4", 225 lb. quarterback threw for 1,125 yards and six touchdowns as a sophomore, adding six rushing touchdowns. He has also received interest from Ole Miss, Clemson, Georgia and Florida. He is the second quarterback Auburn has offered for 2011, the other being Kiehl Frazier.
