Auburn football fans call out recruiting department for Twitter gaffe

Dee Ford, a British women that was confused for former Auburn football linebacker Dee Ford on Twitter, poses for a picture at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday, Nov.. 17, 2018.

Sometimes, ambition meets opportunity…and the results are less than optimal. Auburn football’s recruiting department experienced that the hard way on Twitter yesterday afternoon.

The graphic in question was one captioned “Heisman Hood” with Tigers target Jacob Hood in an Auburn football uniform, wearing the #65 (current senior Alec Jackson wears the number at the moment). It appears that no matter where Hood ends up, he will be wearing the #65.
