Signee 101: Get to know 4-star Auburn DT Coynis Miller (SECCountry)
quote:
Auburn landed 4-star defensive tackle Coynis Miller after all.
There wasn’t much doubt, but there was some. He flirted with Oregon and Tennessee official visits late in the recruiting cycle, but those were more for the experience than anything. Miller decided against taking the Florida official visit. He was all Auburn’s from there.
Miller ended up being one of the bigger wins for the Tigers in the 2018 class. Alabama made a big push for Miller, but his relationship with defensive coordinator Kevin Steele and defensive line coach Rodney Garner turned out to be too much to turn down. Garner doesn’t lose many battles when he makes a strong push for someone.
Miller’s case was no different. That’s a big pickup for the Tigers.
Here is all you need to know about the defensive tackle in the 2018 class:
4-star defensive tackle Coynis Miller
247Sports composite ranking: No. 10 defensive tackle, No. 3 in Alabama. No. 120 overall
Hometown: Birmingham, Ala.
School: Jackson-Olin
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 305 pounds
Offers: 12, including Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Oregon, Tennessee and Louisville.
Commitment: Oct. 14, 2017
Senior season stats: 21 tackles and 4 sacks; 6 rushing touchdowns
Where he fits at Auburn: Miller has all the athleticism defensive line coach Rodney Garner loves. The 4-star defensive tackle, at 305 pounds, has the ability to windmill dunk on the basketball court. Those freakish traits carry over well to the defensive line. You won’t find many prospects with more physical explosion than Miller. He will be one of the early candidates to fill in on the defensive line when the group of Derrick Brown, Marlon Davidson, Nick Coe, Dontavius Russell and Andrew Williams leave.

Signee 101: Get to know 4-star Auburn WR Anthony Schwartz (SECCountry)
quote:
Auburn played it smart with 4-star wide receiver Anthony Schwartz.
Florida was the runaway favorite to land Schwartz during his recruiting process. For that reason, most schools didn’t bother putting many resources into the Schwartz recruitment even though they thought highly of his skill set. Auburn knew it wouldn’t be easy to top the in-state school, but Kodi Burns stayed consistent from start to finish.
When Florida went through the coaching change, Schwartz didn’t receive the immediate answers he would’ve liked from the Gators. Meanwhile, Auburn didn’t waver on its desire to take one of the fastest prospects in the country. That paid off for the Tigers in the end.
Here is all you need to know about the wide receiver in the 2018 class:
4-star wide receiver Anthony Schwartz
247Sports composite ranking: No. 30 wide receiver, No. 28 in Florida, No. 162 overall
Hometown: Plantation, Fla.
School: American Heritage
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 172 pounds
Offers: 28, including Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Louisville, LSU, Michigan, Nebraska and Tennessee.
Commitment: Jan. 4, 2018
Senior season stats: 25 catches for 507 yards and 7 touchdowns; 6 carries for 42 yards and 1 touchdown; 95-yard interception return touchdown
Where he fits at Auburn: The Tigers are clearly looking to bring back the “Auburn Fast” mantra with this one. Schwartz is one of the fastest high school athletes in the nation, regardless of sport. He holds a youth record with a 10.15-second 100-meter dash. That will make him a deadly downfield option for Auburn’s quarterbacks. Throughout his senior season, Schwartz put to rest the “he’s a track guy playing football” narrative.
