Boom! JUCO Offensive Tackle Kilian Zierer Commits to Auburn!

Woah... I nor really anyone (until this afternoon) saw this one coming. The nation’s #1 JUCO offensive tackle Kilian Zierer just pulled a stunner. Long considered a major UCLA lean, the German native announced on Twitter today he wants to be a Tiger.

As he says in his commit announcement, Zierer only recently came to the States and just played his first year of American football for the College of Canyons last season. That’s all it took for some of the top programs in the nation to come calling including Auburn, Florida State, Oregon, USC, UCLA and TCU.
