Looks like Auburn is in a good spot with Nyland Green right now. Unclear when he will make a decision but Auburn could be the favorite as of today.
Auburn also offered 3* OLB Jabril McNeill. At 6-4, 225 he looks like a guy they like at BUCK/DE

Normal is about 16-18 depending on the team IIRC. Tre Hill, who AU recruited is also listed as a DL which I found suprising.

How do they do that for more than a few years?

Where are you seeing that? That would be huge, 100% CB to Clemson though.

Would love to finally beat Clemson for a top corner after Alexander, Terrell, and Booth the last few years.

quote:Looking at full roster numbers is misleading. I remembered rosters include walk one and scholarship players without making a separate designation for either group. I cross-referenced the roster with their signing & transfer classes the last 4 or 5 years. They have 16 OL listed on the roster not counting the six current class signees but seven of those 16 are walk one. So they really only have nine scholarship OL plus the six signed coming in for a total of 15 which is solid but not overwhelming depth.

Markail Benton is in the transfer portal. He was suspended for unknown reasons earlier this off season.
I don’t think we’re interested but figured it was worth mentioning

Speaking of Benton, Justyn Ross may never play football again injured his neck and is fine but having surgeries it may be too dangerous for him to play again.

injured his neck

I think AU had Moultry over Benton on the board IIRC. Vakkias (AU guy) was/is Moultry and Coynis Miller's high school coach.

I don't think it matters because hangnails probably impact ILBs more than OLB/DE.

Really wanted both guys
Posted on 6/3/20 at 8:02 pm to ellitor
They were both recruited as LBs, and Benton was never coming to AU, just ask any Phenix City-ian. The AU staff knew that too. As it always goes for AU since Dye we evaluate well and Moultry blew up his senior season and UA recruited him hard late. Moultry showed up at AU and was switched to Buck to get on the field faster and provide depth.
It really doesn't matter because he's either having issues with injuries or toughness. I do wonder what he would have done if he stayed at LB.

A little revisionist history, IMO. But as you said - doesn’t matter now.
