Under Armour WR commit likely done with visits
Less than 10 minutes after leaving Auburn’s campus Sunday, Anthony Schwartz wanted to make something quite clear.
“1000%…” he tweeted.
It was a cryptic way of confirming his commitment to the Tigers. He committed to Auburn on Jan. 4 during the live telecast of the Under Armour All-America Game. Schwartz hinted in the days leading up to that commitment that he might take official visits to Auburn and Florida — the two schools in contention for his services.
But it looks like his Auburn official visit last weekend altered any thought at a Florida visit.
“As of right now, I have no other visits planned,” Schwartz said. “Now, I can officially call it home. It was just getting to know everyone, even players who are already on the team.”

Auburn linebacker signee tidbit on wide receiver commit
Matthew Hill hasn’t done many interviews in recent weeks.
SEC Country reporters caught up with him briefly at the Under Armour All-America Game to talk about the upcoming Auburn-Clemson battle. If you’ve read these notebooks on SEC Country, you know how confidently I’ve written that Hill will end up in Auburn’s class. That’s not to say Clemson hasn’t offered a legitimate threat. It has. But my Auburn sources have always felt strongly about keeping Hill, and Hill has always told me he plans to sign with Auburn.
That sentiment has grown even stronger following the most recent official visit weekend.
Don’t just take my word for it, though.
Hill spent a lot of time on his official visit with Auburn linebacker signee Michael Harris. The two have gotten to know each other well as prospects from metro Atlanta who are in Auburn’s 2018 class. Harris said, based on what Hill had told him, Auburn shouldn’t worry too much about holding onto him in the Class of 2018.
“He said he’s a strong verbal commit. He’s been telling me that the whole time. Matt’s my guy. I’m going to start training with him back home too, so I’m gonna be in his ear,” Harris said.
After that, Harris fielded some questions about his enrollment plans. That included a conversation about who he plans to room with when he moves to Auburn in May.
His answer should give Auburn fans even more optimism.
“Hopefully I’ll room with Matthew Hill. That’s my guy,” Harris said.
