What’s it like to receive an offer that wasn’t? Auburn is trying to clean up the mess left by an unknown person’s cruel prank on a high school lineman.
Taurrian Stafford, an offensive lineman for Miami Central, received a made-up “offer” from a caller impersonating Auburn offensive line coach Herb Hand, 247Sports.com reported.
Stafford said the caller, who introduced himself as Hand, complimented him on his aggressiveness and drive-blocking, then offered him a scholarship to Auburn. Before this incident, Stafford — a 6-foot-3, 325-pound junior guard — had only one offer, from FCS program Florida A&M.
