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

Auburn’s last official visit weekend is filled with star power.

There will be three official visitors on campus for the final weekend before National Signing Day. All three are 4-star prospects. Two of the three are ranked inside the top-100 prospects in the country. Take a look at the three recruits who will be on campus for the last official visits of the 2018 cycle.

SEC Country gives the latest on each below.

4-star OT Richard Gouraige, Tampa, Fla.
4-star WR Ja’Marr Chase, Metairie, La.
4-star DL Malik Langham, Huntsville, Ala.

Gouraige (No. 81 prospect nationally) is the big recruiting win of the weekend for Auburn.

The Tigers have been battling all week to bring him up on an official visit. He has been scheduled to take one previously, but backed out because of the offensive line coaching change. Auburn took a few in-home visits with new offensive line coach J.B. Grimes, which has gotten the Tigers back in contention. The last time Gouraige visited Auburn was for the Iron Bowl, and he left with majorly positive impressions of the Tigers.

Chase (No. 84 prospect nationally) will make his first visit to the Plains.

He has been recruited by wide receivers coach Kodi Burns extensively throughout the process. Chase hasn’t visited Auburn, but it says a lot that Chase will take his final official visit to Auburn based on that relationship with Burns. Chase has a track record of committing to programs after one visit. Kansas and Florida have both grabbed Chase’s commitment during his recruitment following a single visit. LSU remains the favorite, however.

Chase’s official visit will start Saturday.

Langham (No. 314 prospect nationally) is an interesting prospect to track.

Auburn didn’t get involved in this recruitment until late. The Tigers offered on Jan. 19. Gus Malzahn quickly went to Hunstville, Ala., for an in-home visit. It was enough to convince Langham to alter his official visit schedule. Langham replaced his Tennessee official visit with an Auburn official visit this weekend. Even though Alabama is the trendy pick, Auburn can’t be ignored give the ground it has made up in two weeks.
