It’s a big day for Auburn football on the recruiting trail. After a long recruiting battle against neighboring rivals and powerhouse programs Alabama and Georgia, the Tigers are keeping their fingers crossed that 5-star linebacker Demarcus Riddick chooses Auburn.
The in-state prospect has been committed to Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs since November of last year, but since that time both Alabama and Auburn have stepped up their recruitment of the Chilton County native. The former Auburn football staff was not involved with Riddick, but once head coach Hugh Freeze and his staff took over the linebacker became a top priority for the Tigers.
