BREAKING: 2020 DT commits to Auburn (Rivals)
quote:
Auburn's hot start in the 2020 class heated up even more Sunday.
Damarjhe Lewis, a 3-star 2020 defensive tackle from Griffin (Ga.) tweeted his commitment to the Tigers. He's the fifth pledge in Auburn's class, joining Andy Boykin, Kobe Hudson, Quandarrius Robinson and Demouy Kennedy.
"I'm super excited to make this announcement, that I'm committed to Auuburn University," Lewis tweeted. "Extremely excited to play for coach Rodney Garner."
Prior to his commitment, Lewis' only other offer was from Syracuse. He visited Auburn for the end-of-summer cookout on July 28 and left with the Tigers on top. In an interview with Jeffrey Lee, Lewis explained his excitement about playing for Auburn's famed defensive line coach.
"I didn’t know I was going to get it, but (Garner’s) been trying to get me down here for the longest just to do it,” Lewis said. “I love Coach Garner. He’s cool."
With Lewis' commitment, Auburn has established itself as an early top-5 contender in the Class of 2020.

FYI Lewis's high school plays Zion Puckett's this week. Good chance AU has two commits playing in that game by end of the night

2020 is shaping up to be a really good class assuming we can keep them all.

That defensive class looks like it could be incredible

Apparently he also plays basketball. Good athlete
Boykin/Robinson/Lewis is an outstanding start to a DL class for sure

Wolk says he's confirmed Lewis is a take. Staff didn't expect it today & were in church when he announced
Did Gus manage to tweet boom during the alter call?

He probably did it during the sermon - that’s where he would get maximum exposure as everyone else is probably on their phone about that time as well.

This part is concerning though. Seems like we scored an early 3* DL commitment not even two classes ago and once he blew up, he flipped to Bama.

So forgot to post 247 article on Troup County vs Northside scrimmage. AU has 2 commits in 2020 class playing for Troup. They dominated Northside last week
Evaluation notes following Troup County vs. Northside scrimmage (247)

247Sports was on hand for the first scrimmage day of the 2018 season in the Peach State Thursday, where a trio of SEC West football commitments took the field as LaGrange (Ga.) Troup County hosted Columbus (Ga.) Northside.
The three known commodities each held his own in the 36-2 Troup County win, but a productive three-star and two emergers caught our attention as well. Below are thoughts coming out of the event in which the starters played for the first half.

Class of 2019
4-star Outside Linebacker/Defensive End King Mwikuta - Troup County
Vitals: 6-foot-4, 235 lbs
Notes: After playing mostly with his hand in the dirt at defensive end in 2017, Mwikuta is back to a stand-up, outside linebacker role within the Tigers' defense. After the event he told 247Sports he is most comfortable coming off the edge from the traditional defensive end spot, in a three-point stance, but needed to become more comfortable in space both for the 2018 season and for his prospects at the next level. Mwikuta affected the passer on routine through the brief action with a good first step and solid hands against blockers. He seemed to adjust to motions and audibles while out in space early on. No player on the Troup County roster got his team going like Mwikuta, a captain, did Thursday.
Recruitment: Committed to Alabama

3-star Wide Receiver Jamari Thrash - Troup County
Vitals: 6-foot, 180 lbs
Notes: After a 1,400-yard junior season the steady target picked up right where he left off in collecting near 200 yards on just three catches Thursday. Thrash isn't a flashy or speedy talent, but he can get behind a defensive back with efficient routes and quickness with consistent hands to boot. On his first touch of the night, he broke several tackles after the catch as well. The three-star can affect the defense at all three levels of the passing game.
Recruitment: Holds more than a dozen offers, Georgia State among those on his mind as Power 5 programs track senior season
Posted on 8/13/18 at 7:33 am to TigerPaw1
quote:
Running Back Fredrick Davis, Jr. - Northside
Vitals: 5-foot-10, 192 lbs
Notes: A well put-together two-way standout, Davis can make plays in between the tackles or in space with good vision, balance and better-than-expected speed in the open field. His build enables him to finish runs with power and he wastes little time dancing in the open field. The decisive runner holds his own in the passing game, too.
Recruitment: Undeclared with offers from Navy and several FCS and Ivy League programs

Class of 2020
4-star Defensive Lineman Andy Boykin - Troup County
Vitals: 6-foot-3, 257 lbs
Notes: Lining up on the defensive interior and on the edge at times, Boykin may have been the most impressive prospect Thursday based solely on what we saw. Even before the contest began, he looked more impressive on the hoof than at last glance, carrying some 260 pounds very well, with a frame to add even more weight if deemed necessary over the next few years. The junior is explosive off of the football with great quickness that was too much for Northside linemen to handle inside or out. He finished plays with power, too, displaying a consistent motor in the process.
Recruitment: Committed to Auburn
UGA wants to flip this kid badly. Think he's really gonna fly up the rankings over the next year
Posted on 8/13/18 at 7:34 am to TigerPaw1
quote:
4-star Wide Receiver/Athlete Kobe Hudson - Troup County
Vitals: 6-foot-1, 186 lbs
Notes: More likely to play wide receiver at the next level, he has taken the reigns as the Tigers' quarterback this year and will be a true dual-threat option over the next two seasons. On Thursday, though, it was about his throwing ability because of the controlled environment (THS QBs were not live) and he put some impressive throws on the table, especially down the field. Hudson has plenty of arm strength, we even saw him throw from the 50-yard line to the corner pylon a few times in warmups, and he has some accuracy deep as well. He will make improvements on the touch game and playing consistently underneath, but once he is unleashed during the season there should be high point totals and statlines by his name.
Recruitment: Committed to Auburn
Leader of AU 2020 class. Dude is already recruiting hard for AU. Bo Nix having him & Pickens at WR is gonna be fun
Posted on 8/13/18 at 7:35 am to TigerPaw1
quote:
Defensive Lineman Sheldon Brown - Northside
Vitals: 6-foot-4, 260 lbs
Notes: Brown looks the part, with good length and minimal bad weight with two full prep seasons ahead of him, but his best football is clearly down the road. He made plays using his athleticism up front, particularly when redirecting and flowing towards the football, but he will need to improve on the little things, like pad level, leverage and consistency, before major college programs take a closer look at him as a scholarship prospect.
Recruitment: Has yet to pick up initial scholarship offer

GA high school football gets going this week. Most of AU's commits/targets in that state will be kicking seasons off
