Auburn will have a chance to grab one of the best players in the class of 2021.

Just over two years ago, a five-star linebacker out of Loganville, Georgia committed to Auburn over UGA. That recruit was Owen Pappoe and the five-star prospect would go on to start for the Tigers as a true freshman in 2019.

Fast forward to now and the Tigers once again have a chance to bring in one of the country’s top linebacker recruits.
