Every week from now through national signing day, ESPN national recruiting director Tom Luginbill will take a look at the most notable commitments and decommitments of the week, and the level of impact each prospect will have with his collegiate program:
Program impact: Auburn needs a QB, and even though Gatewood is two years away, this is still significant because it shows a belief in Gus Malzahn and this offense. The challenge for Auburn is keeping a 500-pound marlin on the line when he’s 500 yards away. Auburn is getting John Franklin III (ex-Florida State) from the juco ranks this year, so the Tigers are serious about an upgrade at the position.
