OG: Keiondre Jones, Hogansville (Ga.) Callaway: SIGNED, SUMMER ENROLLEE -- The 4-star recruit visited Auburn a lot before committing to the Tigers last July. Jones has been a valuable recruiter for the Tigers behind the scenes and is one of the most popular recruits among the Auburn commits. He was an Under Armour All-American and had a very good week at that event in Florida.

OL/C: Kamaar Bell, Moultrie (Ga.) Colquitt County: UNCOMMITTED TARGET -- The 3-star recruit likes Auburn a lot and vice versa. And after his official visit with the Tigers over the weekend, he said they had moved to No. 1 on his list and had a huge lead. But other schools also are pushing and a recent offer from FSU could makes things interesting. Louisville also is in the mix and he will officially visit the Cardinals later this week.
Kipp Adams CB'd him to AU as well today

OG/OT: ? --The direction Auburn will go in on the offensive line remains a mystery. Most of the really good high school and junior college targets already are taken -- and signed. Four-star junior tackle Bamidele Olaseni recently visited Auburn but it appears he will (at least for now) end up elsewhere as Auburn doesn't seem to be pushing. So where will Auburn turn? Three-star tackle Dawand Jones of Indiana probably is Auburn's biggest uncommitted target. Offensive line coach J.B. Grimes visited him last week and the Tigers hope to score an official visit. But Ohio State, should it push, could be hard to beat. Look for some new names to emerge this week.

DE: Colby Wooden, Lawrenceville (Ga.) Archer: SIGNED, EARLY ENROLLEE -- The 4-star defender called Auburn and Clemson his co-leaders before committing to Auburn in August. While most have projected him at strong-side end, he says he'll play the buck in college. Wooden had a big senior season, which led to a ratings bump. This was a very good get for the Tigers.

DE/DT: Jaren Handy, Hattiesburg (Miss.): SIGNED, SUMMER ENROLLEE -- A 4-star recruit who checks in as the No. 96 prospect in the country, Handy made waves when he suddenly committed to Auburn in June. He previously had been an LSU commit. Handy is not an early enrollee and most thought he'd wait until February to sign. But in December, Handy shut things down (Florida, LSU and others were pushing) and signed his Letter of Intent. Now, he's recruiting for the Tigers.

DE: Charles Moore, Louisville (Miss.): UNCOMMITTED TARGET, DID NOT SIGN EARLY -- The No. 8 recruit in Mississippi, Moore de-committed from Mississippi State last week and promptly named Auburn his leader. But after officially visiting Florida over the weekend, he now claims the Gators are on top. That said, our sources continue to tell us Auburn remains his most likely destination. There even are some who think the Bulldogs no longer are even in the mix. Moore has visited the Tigers multiple times and Florida only once. He is, however, very close with Gators coach Dan Mullen. Right now, we'd put Auburn's chances here at 65 percent.

BUCK: Derick Hall, Gulfport (Miss.): SIGNED, EARLY ENROLLEE -- Hall, an Under Armour All-American, chose the Tigers over FSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Florida in December -- giving the Tigers a big Early Signing Period boost. One important note about his recruitment: He told us he was closer to Tigers coach Gus Malzahn than any head coach who recruited him. Hall is an athletic freak with a huge upside. He's already on campus at Auburn.

LB: Owen Pappoe, Grayson (Ga.): SIGNED, EARLY ENROLLEE -- The 5-star recruit committed to Auburn over Georgia on May 1. Late in the cycle, the Tigers held off Tennessee. Pappoe is extremely close with Auburn linebackers coach Travis Williams and that relationship was huge in landing his verbal. Also, the opportunity to play early was a contributing factor. Pappoe is one of the most athletic recruits nationally in the 2019 class. He was an Under Armour All-American and a team captain in the game.

LB: Octavius Brothers, Rockledge (Fla): UNCOMMITTED TARGET -- Auburn has surged into the lead after Brothers officially visited the Tigers over the weekend. Miami is Auburn's main competition and he will officially visit the Hurricanes later this month. Auburn quietly began recruiting Brothers back in November and in a short time linebackers coach Travis Williams has built a strong relationship with him. That is an important factor in this recruitment. Auburn is trending up but he's a lifelong Hurrianes fan.

LB: Dylan Jordan, Pittsburg (Kan.): UNCOMMITTED TARGET -- Auburn, Nebraska, TCU and Utah look like the top contenders for the 3-star recruit. We're told the Auburn staff sees 4 or even 5-star ability in the 6-feet-3, 215-pound Jordan. Williams is expected to visit him Monday and the Tigers are trying to secure an official visit. We hear they are likely to get it. Jordan is enamored with the SEC and likes Williams a lot. That bodes well for Auburn, which is surging in this recruitment.

CB: Zion Puckett, Griffin (Ga.) Spalding: SIGNED, EARLY ENROLLEE -- Puckett, a 4-star recruit, is one of the most athletic prospects on the Auburn commit list. He chose the Tigers over Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State and Tennessee -- and yes, he could have committed to any of those school. He took part in bowl practices (and looked good) and has enrolled in classes.

CB: Cam'Ron Kelly, Chesapeake (Va.) Oscar Smith: SIGNED, EARLY ENROLLEE -- Auburn recruited Kelly for a long time, but really didn't seem to gain much traction until the summer. At one time, he was committed to Virginia Tech. In August, though, Auburn's push paid off with a big verbal from a player who some think is the most athletically gifted in the 2019 class for the state of Virginia. The Tigers held off North Carolina late.

CB: Jaylin Simpson, St. Simons Island (Ga.) Frederica Academy: SIGNED, SUMMER ENROLLEE -- The 4-star defender committed to Auburn in late April and helped kickstart what proved to be a huge month of May for the Tigers. The Tigers beat out several schools for his commitment, namely South Carolina. Since committing to Auburn, Simpson has been an active recruiter for the Tigers.

S-CB: Nehemiah Pritchett, Jackson (Ala.): SIGNED, EARLY ENROLLEE -- Pritchett earned an offer from the Tigers last summer after a strong camp performance and committed in November. He might be the fastest player in the class. He could play corner or safety. Pritchett will head to Auburn after producing a very good 2018 season.

quote:
CB: Jammie Robinson, Leesburg (Ga.) Lee County: UNCOMMITTED TARGET -- Auburn, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee are the top targets for the 3-star nickel. Forget about Robinson's rating. That's mostly a product of his height (5-feet-11). Many think he was one of the most productive players in the state of Georgia in 2018. Robinson officially visited the Tigers over the weekend and said those four teams previously mentioned are all tied at the top. He won't announce his decision until Feb. 6. Right now, Auburn is trending up.

ATH: Kameron Brown, Sugar Hill (Ga.) Lanier: Auburn offered the 3-star recruit two weeks ago and the Tigers will host him on an official visit this coming weekend. Brown had more than 200 total tackles in 2018 and could play either linebacker or fullback in college. The younger brother of Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown, Kameron could jump on board before Feb. 6.

With these players committed, based on their current rankings Auburn would finish with 279.21 points in the class calculator. That number would have been good for ninth in the 2018 standings. Remember though, we're going with 25 signed -- but we have only 24 recruits projected right now with that one big question mark on the offensive line. So if Auburn does sign these 24 plus one more, that points total will rise.

This makes me sad...

Would not be surprised if AU lands an underclass transfer for that final OT spot ala Austin Golson/Darius James in the past. Someone that sits out next year but can play 2 more years at OT. Just not seeing any offers go out right now to any Plan B or C type of kids

OK QB transfer Austin Kendall is on campus per his Instagram per Twitter
