Auburn’s recruiting has been on a nice run lately but that run hit a speed bump last night. Arguably Auburn’s top wide receiver target, 4-star Christian Leary, had reportedly been trending to the good guys the last couple of weeks. There were even rumors he had silently committed to the staff. But recruiting is fluid, especially with someone like Leary who has had multiple leaders over the past couple of months. Last night, he decided to pull the trigger.
Losing Leary to Bama absolutely hurts. Auburn might sign only two wide receivers in this class and Leary is likely in the top 2 on Auburn’s wide receiver board.
