This is a huge victory for Auburn on the recruiting trail. 3* TE Luke Deal just might be at the top of the tight end wishlist for Michigan, Notre Dame, NC State and Ohio State. This evening at his high school, he announced he was passing on all those schools and instead committing to the Auburn Tigers.
Just a month or so ago, Deal looked like a lock to the instate Clemson Tigers. But after taking all his official visits, it was Auburn and Notre Dame that emerged as the top threats.
