Auburn isn't on the Florida Gators' schedule this year, but the Tigers have a lot of local/state connections. Auburn signed the area's top recruit in 2015 (Armwood defensive end Byron Cowart) and in 2016 (Tampa Catholic receiver Nate Craig-Myers).
With that in mind, Opelika-Auburn News beat writer Josh Vitale was kind enough to do a quick Q&A with me. If the name sounds familiar, it's because Vitale used to cover the Rays and the Port Charlotte Stone Crabs for the Charlotte Sun. Thanks to Josh for helping me out.
