One of the biggest recruiting victories the Tigers won happened early this cycle when Auburn landed 3* TE Luke Deal. The Greenwood, SC native held offers from Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State and a host of others. He took official visits to Auburn, NC State, Michigan, Ohio State and Notre Dame in the spring before making his decision. He also frequently visited Clemson’s campus. Deal was as highly a sought after tight end prospect as you can find in this class. He chose Auburn.
Now, he’s officially an Auburn Tiger.
Deal is a talented athlete who played all over the field for Emerald including some action as a Wildcat QB.
