What’s next for Auburn at running back?

Running back took much less of a hit than cornerback over the weekend, but there was some intrigue added to the position when Tae Provens unexpectedly committed to LSU.

Provens has been a lifelong Auburn fan, and even had a chance to commit to the Tigers as an athlete over Big Cat Weekend. He decided not to do it — similar situation to Tennessee — and continued to look elsewhere. Provens still had an Aug. 11 commitment decision set up between Auburn, LSU, Tennessee and Louisville.

He ended up not waiting that long. Provens chose LSU on Saturday.

I’m still not convinced his recruitment is over, however.

“My recruitment is not shut down. Tennessee and Auburn were frontrunners, but stuff happened. LSU just made a stronger push. I still have love for Tennessee and Auburn, and those are two good programs that’ll continue to do well in the SEC,” Provens said.

Here are running backs to watch now:

4-star Asa Martin, Austin (Ala.): This is priority No. 1. The Tigers are in a heated battle with Alabama and Florida for the top running back in the state of Alabama. The Crimson Tide have tried to make a late push for 5-star Zamir White, which could certainly affect Martin when White decides on Tuesday. But it appears Alabama has gone from uninterested to most likely landing spot for Martin. Auburn will hold out hope for its top running back target, but a few moves the Tigers have made proves they’re looking at “What’s next?” scenarios if Martin chooses someone else on Aug. 24.

Remember when he was mad at us for offering late and didn't think he fit in Bama's system? Turns out neither one of those matter
