Gus Malzahn’s 2018 recruiting class received a big boost Thursday, when four-star running back Asa Martin announced his commitment to Auburn.
The running back held his announcement ceremony at Decatur (Ala.) Austin. He returned to the school after playing last season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
Martin (5 feet 11, 200 pounds), who is a top-10 running back nationally as well as a top-225 prospect overall and a top-10 recruit in the state of Alabama, picked the Tigers over Alabama, Clemson and Florida.
Martin is Auburn’s second commitment in the past week, along with four-star wide receiver Matthew Hill.
