re: 2018 Football Recruiting Thread -- Final OP Update Edition

Based off KN article in 4* OG Jalil Irvin it sounds like might commit anytime to AU. Maybe pulls trigger this weekend?

Master Teague III reflects on surprise Auburn offer

quote:

---

Master Teague III was in for a surprise when he visited Auburn last week.

Teague, a four-star running back from Murfreesboro, Tenn., earned an offer from head coach Gus Malzahn and the Tigers. He was shocked, as he had not talked to Auburn coaches much before the unofficial visit.

Now, he's been talking to running backs coach Tim Horton more, and he'll make a return trip to Auburn for a spring practice on March 26.

"They like the way I run, of course," Teague said. "A lot of teams like to get you on the campus and talk to you. They thought I had my head on right and I was a good fit because their offense was similar to what I run in high school. I feel like they have good coaches where I can be developed to a better back and person."

The 5-foot-11, 210-pound Teague is ranked as the No. 18 running back recruit in the country. He could see himself operating as a feature back in new offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey's offense.

"I feel like it would be an easy transition because their offense is similar to what we run and the schemes we do," Teague said. "How they could use me in the offense and what they were telling me, it was great."

Teague ran for 2,031 yards and 24 touchdowns for Blackman High School last year. He said he was also impressed with Auburn's campus.

Auburn is among several schools after Teague, who said he plans to make a commitment before his senior season. Teague said he is on pace to graduate early.

Tennessee and South Carolina are among those schools, along with Ohio State, Duke and Vanderbilt. Ohio State has not yet offered.

He'll also visit Clemson and Georgia (twice) soon, he said, along with Ohio State and Mississippi State along with his return trip to Auburn.

Teague detailed what he is looking for in a school

"Somewhere I know I feel at home and where I feel I can grow as a person and grow spiritually and, of course, grow as a football player," he said. "Somewhere I can build relationships with those guys that last a long time. Somewhere they use their backs in a way that interests me, program history and having success, those are some things that are pretty big to me."

Teague said he'll narrow his list of schools down later this spring.

Trying so hard not to get hopes up on him

Missing on Devon Hunter and the other Safety 2 years ago that chose Stanford over us is really showing in Sprint Ball. We need two legit Safeties this cycle

More names

4* OG Jalil Irvin
3* OT Kameron Stutts
3* LB Braelen Oliver

Four DB coaches in four years will do that... considering the turnover, it could be way worse at corner and safety.

KN unsure if any commits happen today. 4* OG Jalil Irvin might if we push. 3* OT Kameron Stutts another to watch tho unsure where he is on board. 3* DT Timaje Porter has AU in front but sounds like he might not be a take right now

Junior day notes from KN

- 4* OG Jalil Irvin says he almost committed this weekend but decided to hold off. KN thinks he could jump on board this week but could last as long as A-Day. Either way it sounds like it's when not if he commits to the Tigers

- 3* ATH Richard Jubinor is a LB/Buck target we really like. We were on him really early which has helped us with other teams now pursuing him. He's originally from Nigeria and apparently him and Price Tega have become friends and talk a lot.

- 4* QB Joey Gatewood had a really good visit and spent all day with Chip Lindsey. Says he still is firmly committed and now focusing on trying to get 4* WR Justyn Ross & 4* WR Jacob Copeland to join him at AU

- Bo Jackson's nephew 3* Shedrick Jackson still doesn't have an AU offer but apparently he feels more confident he is gonna get one in the future. Kodi Burns is gonna give him a firm evaluation over the spring and summer. Tigers are being picky at WR right now because of all the talent we are on

- Three names to watch at LB/Buck is 4* Quay Walker, 3* Michael Harris & 3* Richard Jubinor. All 3 were on campus and Tigers like their chances with all of them as well. All are capable of playing traditional LB spot or moving to Buck

- 4* WR Justyn Ross was back on campus and sounds like he and Burns have gotten real close. The Tigers are optimistic about their chances

- 4* CB Jalen Armour-Davis took a midweek visit from Tuesday to Thursday. It sounds like it went real well and the Tigers are feeling good about their chances. He's stop doing interviews right now but sounds like decision could come soon. FSU is the main threat
