UMass grad-transfer OT announcing decision on Wednesday (Rivals)
Interesting he's played some guard too. If the bigger concern is center could move Driscoll to guard & slide Horton to center. My guess tho is he's being brought in to play tackle
quote:
UMass graduate transfer Jack Driscoll will announce his new home on Wednesday, and he’s narrowed his options to three schools.
Driscoll, a first-team All-Independent offensive tackle, will transfer to Auburn, USC or UCLA.
“It will come down to one of those three schools,” Driscoll said. “I feel like all three of the schools would be a good fit.”
Driscoll has done his research and taken an official visit to each of the schools. He has plenty of reasons for having the three as his finalists.
“Chip Kelly is a great coach and UCLA is a great academic school,” Driscoll said. “It’s a school that I was interested in from the get-go. Same thing with USC. Coach (Clay) Helton is a great coach and USC is one of the more storied programs in the country.”
Driscoll’s reasons for having Auburn a finalist was gained during a visit April 20-22.
“My parents came with me and it was awesome,” Driscoll said. “I love the guys on the team. I love the coaches. The school is incredible. It was a really good time.”
Driscoll’s host on the visit was starting quarterback Jarrett Stidham. Driscoll also met and spent time with Auburn coach Gus Malzahn, offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey and offensive line coach J.B. Grimes.
“I spent a lot of time with all three of the coaches,” Driscoll said. “They made me feel welcomed and needed, and having Jarrett as my host was really cool.”
Driscoll now will focus on making his decision. He has two years of eligibility remaining and will be eligible immediately.
“By Wednesday I would like to alert all of the coaches,” Driscoll said. “There is a lot of paperwork that needs to be filled out, and the sooner I can get all of it done the sooner I can start finding a place to live and all of that good stuff.”
Driscoll, who is listed at 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds, graduates from UMass on May 10 and plans to move to his new home soon after.
As a redshirt sophomore in 2017, Driscoll started all 12 games at right tackle. He played left guard and left tackle as a freshman in 2016.

Seems like AU has some confidence they are gonna land Driscoll tomorrow. Would be a nice pickup given the fail that was our OL recruiting in the 2018 class

Also 3* S Cornelius Nunn is taking an OV this weekend. Not sure if his offer is committable but he's high on AU
Miami offered this past weekend but specifically told him it's not a committable one just yet. Yes I agree that's not really an offer but this is recruiting & it's often dumb

Fwiw it's currently 5 days in April. KN was including his OV which is in jeopardy for that 8 number

Well frick.... I was hoping Tega had turned the corner & RT was the major concern. Either way adding Driscoll would no doubt help somewhere on the OL

Isn't Elliot pretty reputable? If so that is very big.

Some FSU hot take artist isn’t gonna have a clue where Morris is going.

What Bud do to you?
He's an FSU homer for sure (FYI Morris was committed to FSU at one point so he has a previous connection to this recruitment) but he's also got a decent feel for what's going on in the southeast as he's at a recruiting camp or event every week. Not saying his pick is a lock but it's not a bad thing for AU

Caldwell says that 4* OG Keiondre Jones was on campus again Monday. That dude has visited a ton. UF is a major threat tho with his cousin Emory there. Also Caldwell still seems to be reporting that Morris will OV this weekend

He's a great dude. Very, very much in the know. He is all over the camp circuit and talks to all of these kids when he's there. Don't think he knew about the possibility of Morris cancelling his OV though.

We could really, really use Keiondre and Wanya in this OL class. Hope we can find a way to close on these two.

Absolutely. As of now they look like our best bets for top OL prospects in this class. Need to hit on both

4* CB Andrew Booth apparently visits March 24th. He's expected back again in the near future. KN says CLEM is team to beat with UGA & AU chasing
He's close with Pappoe FWIW
