  6. How Auburn commit Tate Johnson went from recruitee to recruiter Updated Jul 28, 10:47 AM;Posted Jul 28, 10:29 AM Getty Images AUBURN, AL - SEPTEMBER 15: A general view of Jordan-Hare Stadium during the game between the Auburn Tigers and the LSU Tigers on September 15, 2018 in Auburn, Alabama. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) By Sam Blum | SBlum@al.com Not many of the Auburn recruits coming out of the Saturday on-campus event were fully decked out in Auburn gear. That’s because many of them still have no idea where they’ll be going to school. In that way — and maybe also the full beard — Tate Johnson stood out. He was dressed out in all Auburn clothing. The 2020 guard was there not just to reaffirm his AU commitment, but to help build the growing class. “I’m more of a recruiter now," Johnson said. "I can kind of be on the coaching staff, sort of say and help the coaches recruit. It’s a more laid back process. And I enjoy it a lot.” He’s one of six offensive line commits in the class. The three-star had offers from Georgia Tech, Boston College and Cincinnati, among others. But he sounds 100 percent sold on Auburn, and will enroll early, in January, after signing in December. “It’s different when recruits are talking to the coaches than when they’re talking to other recruits," Johnson said. "On a certain level, recruits bond with other recruits because they know what they’re going through. They know that other recruits aren’t gonna steer them in the wrong way. They know that other recruits picked here for a reason, and they believe it more coming out of our mouths than the coaches mouths, because they know we’re not just gonna sell them.” These skills might come in handy for one of Auburn’s top running back targets, Tank Bigsby, who is rated by 247Sports as the No. 7 running back recruit in the country, and the No. 4 overall player in Georgia. He is choosing between Georgia, South Carolina, Auburn and Tennessee. Johnson obviously works closely with Bigsby on the offense at their Hogansville, Georgia school, and hasn’t been shy that he wants the prized recruit to continue on as his teammate, even if he isn’t pressuring him to make that choice. “I don’t pressure him hard," Johnson said. "I want him to make the best decision for him and his family. But I just preach to him, I mean here, he knows it. He’s said it before. It’s such a family-oriented staff. They really care about you more than anyone else. I mean, his top schools, out of all those top schools, I’ve been to them, I’ve seen them. This staff is unlike any other staff I’ve ever seen ... He would thrive here under coach Cadillac William.”
  7. Auburn commit making smooth transition from QB to WR Today 6:09 AM 2-3 minutes By Josh Bean | jbean@al.com Troup County (Ga.) coach Tanner Glisson said he considered moving Auburn commit Kobe Hudson from quarterback to receiver full-time. That’s the position Hudson played as a freshman and sophomore and where he’s projected to play at Auburn, despite accounting for nearly 5,000 yards of total offense and 48 touchdowns as a quarterback last season. Glisson said he even discussed the possible position change with Auburn coach Gus Malzahn. “Gus acted like it was not a big issue,” Glisson said. “He said to do what we need to do to win a championship.” That means Hudson will play quarterback, Glisson said, and could line up at receiver, running back or just about anywhere on the field this fall. This week, though, Hudson is a full-time receiver at The Opening Finals recruiting showcase in Frisco, Texas, and he already looks like a polished receiver. He’s making 1-handed catches. He’s running crisp routes. And he looks comfortable catching passes instead of throwing them. “I do a lot of quarterback and receiver stuff at my school,” Hudson said. “I play 7on7 with Cam Newton, so I’ve got a lot of receiver work this summer also.” Hudson – one of 13 committed players in Auburn’s Class of 2020 – is currently the Tigers’ highest-rated offensive player at No. 82 nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He plans to graduate in December, enroll at Auburn in January and immediately become a full-time receiver. Hudson showed his athleticism by running for 1,410 yards last year, averaging more than nine yards a carry and running for more than 100 yards in Troup County’s last four games. Hudson said he’s also used his appearance at The Opening Finals to try to recruit for Auburn, too. The Tigers got commitments from receiver Ze’Vian Capers and linebacker Wesley Steiner this week, and both are also at The Opening Finals. Both are also Georgia high school starts, like Hudson. “I’m recruiting a lot of guys. I’m trying to build the class,” Hudson said. “It’s a good class, for sure.”

  15. montgomeryadvertiser.com Recruiting visits paint positive picture of feeling inside Auburn football program Josh Vitale, Montgomery Advertiser 7-8 minutes AUBURN — The picture that had been painted from outside the Auburn football program in the two weeks since a 52-21 loss to Alabama in the Iron Bowl was not a particularly positive one. There were rampant rumors about Gus Malzahn’s future as head coach, despite the seven-year, $49-million contract he signed earlier this year. Athletics director Allen Greene acknowledged them in a letter penned to fans on Monday, writing: “those rumors and speculation have not served the Auburn Family well." But it wasn’t just that. Offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey left for the same job at Kansas, and Malzahn’s first two targets in the search to replace him — friend Hugh Freeze and former analyst Bobby Bentley — chose instead to go to Liberty and stay at South Carolina, respectively. MORE: Auburn hires Memphis' Kenny Dillingham as offensive coordinator This past Tuesday, former Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant chose to sign with Missouri just two days after finishing an official visit to Auburn, which ranked prominently among his finalists. On Saturday, running back Asa Martin — a former four-star recruit and the reigning Alabama Mr. Football — announced his decision to leave the Tigers after a puzzling true freshman season that may have included a mismanagement of his redshirt. But in talking to some of the 10 Class of 2019 recruits who finished official visits to campus on Sunday — both committed and uncommitted — one didn’t get the sense that negativity outside the program had penetrated the walls of the Auburn Athletic Complex. “I feel at home,” four-star Louisville, Miss., defensive end Charles Moore said. “It’s about the life after football. Good, honest coaches. What you see is what you get. They ain’t trying to spice it all up and send me a Disneyland picture or whatever. I know it’s going to take a lot of hard work when I get here; going to have to be 10 toes down and come here ready to work. “They didn’t even sell me a recruiting pitch or anything. I actually didn’t even feel like Auburn recruited me. I kind of feel like they said, if this is the place for you and you feel like this is where you fit, then come, but if not, we want you to be successful wherever you go. The relationship I have with these coaches, I feel like if I didn’t come to Auburn, I would still talk to Coach (Marcus) Woodson, still talk to Coach (Rodney) Gardner, Coach (Kevin) Steele. Those are the type of people that are up here, and these are the type of people I want to surround myself with.” Moore isn’t one of the 16 players committed to an Auburn class that ranks 12th nationally and fifth in the SEC with less than two weeks to go before the early signing period begins on Dec. 19. He’s actually pledged to Mississippi State. But he visited this weekend with close friend and four-star Auburn defensive end commit Jaren Handy, and while he remains committed to the Bulldogs, it’s clear the Tigers made some inroads with him. “I don’t want to just freak everybody out, but be looking for us to be beside each other in May or when the fall comes,” Moore said of him and Handy. “I really do want to play with Stone, and I love this place. My parents, my brother, my sister, they love this place.” Handy feels the same way. The Hattiesburg, Miss., native told reporters his commitment to Auburn is “more solid” after his latest visit and he may even decide to sign later this month. He “ain’t going nowhere,” and he’s trying to bring Moore (who won’t sign anywhere until February) with him. Four-star running back target Mark-Antony Richards also doesn’t plan to sign or even announce his decision until February, but it was clear after his latest visit that Auburn is very much near the top of his list. “I really got the chance to hang out with some of the commits and some of the players, like Jarrett Stidham, Will Hastings and Bo Nix, some of the other guys — Tyler Fromm, too,” he said. “I think that was something I didn’t do at any other school, was hang out with some of the other guys. Really, it just felt like I was already here, to be honest. “It’s always good every time I come here. I’ve been coming since I was in like eighth grade, so it really hasn’t … I haven’t had a negative side of it.” So maybe some of the perceived issues over the past two weeks have been overblown. Malzahn announced Sunday night that he had hired “rising star” Kenny Dillingham, formerly of Memphis, to be the team’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Greene wrote Monday that the Tigers’ head coach is “dedicated to this program and he has my support as we work together to move forward.” MORE: Gus Malzahn will call plays for Auburn's offense Even before that, the offensive recruits who visited Auburn over the weekend didn’t seem particularly concerned about the team not having an offensive coordinator. “I’m not worried,” Richards said with a smile. “I trust him, and he's going to make things work,” said Nix, a four-star recruit ranked as the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the class. MORE: Patrick Nix, Bo Nix write memorable script at Jordan-Hare Stadium “I’m not really sure who it is right now, but we’ll figure it out,” three-star wide receiver commit Ja’Varrius Johnson said. “I’m just always a confident person. I think everything is good.” Johnson, out of Hewitt-Trussville, is so confident that he plans to sign later this month after previously being unsure about whether he would or not. He also expressed optimism that the Tigers would hang onto their high-profile commitment from four-star Hoover wide receiver George Pickens, who also took an official visit to the Plains this weekend and spent a lot of time with Johnson and Nix. Pickens, who does not plan to sign until February and is still being pursued heavily by a bevy of schools including Alabama, Florida State, Georgia and LSU, did not speak to reporters Sunday. “I’ve always felt confident with him, because I personally know him really good. We played little league together,” Johnson said. “I just feel like… I know I have a feeling he’s going to stay.” Everyone has since the regular season ended a little more than two weeks. The last player to decommit from the Tigers’ 2019 class was three-star center Jakai Clark, and that was way back on Sept. 3. He flipped to Illinois in November, then to Miami on Monday. The top-rated member of Auburn's class, five-star Loganville, Ga., linebacker Owen Pappoe, reaffirmed his pledge to the Tigers last week, tweeting, “Let me clear things up…I am 100% committed.” Pappoe is on track to enroll early, as are Nix, four-star guard Keiondre Jones, four-star defensive end Colby Wooden, four-star defensive backs Zion Puckett and Cam’Ron Kelly, and three-star tight ends Luke Deal and Tyler Fromm. It doesn’t appear that the negativity projected outside the program has had much of an effect on the players Malzahn and his staff are trying to build Auburn’s future around.

  21. How Auburn QB commit Bo Nix hasn’t been sacked this season Updated 4:02 PM; Posted 4:02 PM 18 Gallery: Bo Nix honored as Under Armour All-American 1 share By Josh Bean | jbean@al.com jbean@al.com Auburn quarterback commit Bo Nix understands the importance of limiting negative plays. For evidence, consider this single stat: Nix hasn't been sacked a single time this season. Not once. It's a point of pride for Nix leads Pinson Valley in its chase for a second straight Class 6A championship. "My offensive line knows exactly what to do, and they give me time back there in the pocket," Nix said today after receiving his honorary Under Armour All-American jersey at a ceremony in the school's auditorium. "If something does break down, I've got a receiver out there I can just throw it to and make it work. It's means a lot for us, not to get sacked and not turn the ball over. We take pride in that. "Our O-line, they love it. They can say, 'Our quarterback hasn't been sacked all year.' For them to be able to say that and know I contributed to that, it's really neat." Latest Power 25 rankings The Power 25 is designed to rank Alabama's top 25 high school football teams, regardless of classification. Patrick Nix -- also the son of a high school coach and Pinson Valley's head coach -- abhors sacks and interceptions and has trained his son to avoid them at all costs. But even the elder Nix is impressed with Bo's ability to avoid sacks this season after he was dropped only three times in 2017. "Obviously, you have to have a good protection," Patrick Nix said " Most of our schemes are designed to get the ball out pretty quick, and he does an amazing job of processing things very quickly and the ball coming out. And, then, he's had some Houdini moments where he's gotten out of situations that you think there's no way he's about to get out of this and he gets out of it." Nix became the third Birmingham-area player to receive his Under Armour jersey this week, following Hewitt-Trussville’s Pierce Quick on Monday and Thompson’s Amari Kight on Tuesday. Hoover’s George Pickens -- a member of Auburn’s commitment list for the Class of 2019 -- received his last Friday. Bo Nix plans to graduate from Pinson Valley in December and enroll at Auburn immediately, which would allow him to participate in on-campus bowl practices. He'll then travel to Orlando for the Under Armour All-America Game before starting classes at Auburn in January. With Jarrett Stidham expected to head to the NFL after this season, Bo Nix said he hopes to be in the quarterback mix immediately. "I think every quarterback wants to go there and play," Bo Nix said. "but I understand that if it's not my time, it's not my time. I trust the coaching staff and I trust myself that it's going to come. I may have to be patient, but if it comes early, I'll be ready. If it comes later, I'll still be ready for it." First, though, he'll play in the Under Armour game, which he called "a dream come true." His grandfather, Conrad Nix, coached in the 2009 game and Bo is now scheduled to play in it a decade later. Could Auburn flip OL Amari Kight? The 6-foot-6 1/2, 315-pound Kight was honored today as an Under Armour All-American, the second Alabama commit so honored in the last two days Nix's ball security helped him secure the Under Armour invite and could help in his quest for early playing time at Auburn. Sometimes, he said, that means understanding the power of throwing the ball away. "You just don't take a sack and you just don't throw an interception," Patrick Nix said. "That's how it's been in our household forever. He's watched me watch games and yell at quarterbacks on the screen for taking a sack or throwing an interception … and me telling him, 'Hey, you don't do that.' "Second-and-10 is so much easier than second-and-16 or 17. Understanding the value of a yard, I think, is very important." Added Bo, "If something happens, just throw the ball away and live with the next play." But can he keep up the zero-sack stat all season? “I’ve made it this long, so why not keep it going?” Bo said.

  22. several are fishy and one cat was talking about gus' "demise". i thought it was his coaching but i am not sure if he was saying he wanted gus to drop dead or something. if it was the later it was pretty bad and i am ashamed thee are auburn fans out there that think like that. and i understand people getting angry but good grief.
