Re: Rivals Recruiting
Auburn Tigers 2019 Recruiting
For the second consecutive year Auburn pulls the top class in the country, and with a national title to go with the future is looking good for Tiger fans. The prized recruit of the class was 5* RB Dustin King out of Lisle, who some scouts believe is the best back in the country. King brings an element of speed and deceptive strength to a backfield loaded with power backs. King will get a chance to start right away and will have to be a key player if Auburn has any chance of repeating.
WR Eric Conception, C Marcus Herron, and RG Joseph Weber were the other top recruits on offense, all 5* athletes. The defense got the bulk of the players with DT Tate Smith, MLB Bo Patrick, and OLB Javon Watson being the big name guys up front. The Tigers also picked up Jay Palmer and Darren Johnson, two 5* lockdown corners who have great upside. All 5 have the talent to play right away but Smith will likely be the only one who gets on the field this year. The rest will redshirt because of the solid depth ahead of them.
Auburn fans are beyond amped about the second #1 class in a row. The staff has already put together enough solid classes to win a title, but a number 1 class always the goal.
