Signee 101: Get to know 3-star Auburn punter Arryn Siposs (SECCountry)
quote:
Auburn’s punter of the future is here.
Australian punters have won each of the last five Ray Guy Awards. The Tigers decided to get in on that trend. Auburn worked together with the Prokick Australia program to set up a mutual scholarship opportunity for the former professional Australian Rules Football player.
That’s right, Siposs is a former professional athlete.
He spent five years playing in the highest professional league in Australia before turning his full attention to a United States academic and athletic career. As you’ll be able to tell from the highlights below, Siposs isn’t the average punter commit, hence why the Tigers were willing to take his commitment so quickly.
Siposs is 25 years old and is already engaged. This is a grown man the Tigers are bringing in at punter for the 2018 class. Maybe there will be more fake punts in Auburn’s special teams future? Siposs is skilled enough to try.
Here is all you need to know about the punter in the 2018 class:
3-star punter Arryn Siposs
247Sports composite ranking: No. 6 punter, No. 2 in Australia, No. 1,884 overall
Hometown: Melbourne, Australia
School: Prokick Australia
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 198 pounds
Offers: 1, from Auburn
Commitment: Dec. 12, 2017
Where he fits at Auburn: Auburn had some major issues with the punting game in 2017, starting with fall camp concerns. That’s clearly a position group the Tigers wanted to clear up in the 2018 recruiting class. Australian punters have been all the rage when it comes to the Ray Guy Award in recent years. The Tigers figured it was their turn to snag a punter with rare athletic traits. Siposs spent several years playing Australian Rules Football professionally.

Signee 101: Get to know 4-star Auburn WR Matthew Hill (SECCountry)
Still pumped we hung onto this kid. At a minimum he should be AU's punt returner next year. He could line up anywhere on offense including some at RB if needed
quote:
Auburn scored a commitment from wide receiver Matthew Hill at the end of the summer.
The Tigers worked to hold off Clemson throughout January. Clemson made a major push for Hill as a safety, and the 4-star prospect from Georgia put serious consideration into that decision. Ultimately the home feel of Auburn — and the relationships with coaches Kodi Burns and Travis Williams — won out. Hill visited Auburn the final weekend of the cycle, which was a strong indication of where things were headed.
Here is all you need to know about the wide receiver in the 2018 class:
4-star wide receiver Matthew Hill
247Sports composite ranking: No. 17 wide receiver, No. 13 prospect in Georgia, No. 92 overall
Hometown: Snellville, Ga.
School: Brookwood
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 185 pounds
Offers: 17, including Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Florida, LSU, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Commitment: Aug. 17, 2017
Senior season stats: 52 receptions for 879 yards and 7 touchdowns; 76 carries for 695 yards and 4 touchdowns; 349 returns yards and 1 touchdown
Where he fits at Auburn: Hill was recruited by schools as a safety and a wide receiver. Clemson made the biggest push for Hill on the defensive side of the ball. Ultimately, however, Hill decided the offensive side of the ball was the better fit for him. That’s where Auburn saw him all along. If you were to compare him to a wide receiver on the roster right now, Darius Slayton would probably be the best fit. Hill brings a versatility to the football field few other prospects in the class can. In high school, he lined up out wide, at running back and as a returner.
Still pumped we hung onto this kid. At a minimum he should be AU's punt returner next year. He could line up anywhere on offense including some at RB if needed
