Auburn Football News: Top DE recruit Byron Cowart has made his decision between Tigers, Florida State, & Florida

Five-star strong-side defensive end Byron Cowart, ranked by ESPN as the #1 recruit in the country, has already made his decision between the Auburn Tigers, Florida State Seminoles, and Florida Gators - but he's not telling just yet.

"Me and my mom discussed it, and we're good with our decision so we know where we're going to go," Cowart said, via the Tallahassee Democrat.

Cowart plans to make his announcement on National Signing Day (February 4th), following official visits to Auburn this weekend, Florida on January 23rd, and Florida State on January 30th.

What or who is the biggest factor in Cowart's decision? His mother.

"I know in the beginning (my mother) wasn't a big part of my recruitment, but it's coming down to crunch time," Cowart said, "and I want to go somewhere where my mother is confident (and) she's safe with it."
