[ssgaufan]

A little good news for a change.  4*LB from Jackson-Olin picked the Tigers over uat and others.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala. | Tadarian Moultry didn’t have any reason to wait. The four-star linebacker recruit from Jackson-Olin knew where he wanted to attend college.

He announced it Friday.

“I’ve known it was Auburn for a while, but I wanted to be sure,” Moultry said. “I’m sure now.”

Moultry, who is ranked the No. 16 outside linebacker in the 2017 class, announced his intentions to sign with Auburn following a scrimmage at Jackson-Olin Friday afternoon.

“I’ve been to Auburn at least a dozen times and I feel real comfortable there,” Moultry said. “It feels like family and I want to be a part of it.”

Moultry announced his commitment to Auburn in front of several family members, teammates, students, teachers, coaches and fans. His announcement sparked the unleashing of dozens of orange and blue helium-filled balloons and loud cheers from the crowd.


Among the crowd were his mother, Lakisha Moultry, and his girlfriend of three years, Zaebriere Boykin. Moultry wanted both there to share with him the experience.

“My mom loves it at Auburn and my girlfriend loves it at Auburn,” Moultry said. “That’s very important to me because they are big parts of my life. I really like it at Auburn and they do, too. It’s perfect for me.”

Moultry’s primary recruiter from Auburn is linebackers coach Travis Williams. The first-year assistant made an evaluation visit to Jackson-Olin on Friday. The relationship between the player and recruit was another factor in Moultry’s decision.

Moultry likes Williams’ message to him.

“It’s been family,” Moultry said. “His message has always been family and I've always been about family. I have a really good relationship with Coach T-Will. I really like him. He was a big reason I chose Auburn. He’s a great guy, an honest and genuine guy who knows football.”

Moultry, who stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 220 pounds, is Auburn’s fourth commitment in the 2017 class. He joins five-star offensive tackle Calvin Ashley of First Academy in Orlando, Fla., Southside-Gadsden four-star athlete Alaric Williams and Stephenson (Stone Mountain, Ga.) three-star safety Carlito Gonzalez on the Tigers' list.

Yes. All of that. Head hunter. Huge. Seems like he was in on every tackle. He doesn't talk much on schools but I think heard somewhere Smart was high on him last year. Not sure how that changes things with UA AND UGA.

As is WR Justyn Ross. Look him up. Has a frame like Randy Moss or Plaxico Burress. I've seen him float between 4/5 star status already. I think auburn has already offered. And his sophomore year in hs will be wrapping up this month. Damn man child.

I saw that piece on the dot I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!!  I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others.  I like male genatalia in and around my mouth. about Moultry and KJ Britt possibly being a package deal, but certainly no guarantees.  Benton sounds like an SEC ready linebacker right now.  It could never hurt to sign about 3 LB's a year. Especially 4* kids.

How that team lost to McGillen Toolen last year is beyond me. Well I know how. They played a better brand of team ball. But talent wise, it wasn't close. Little trivia, both chs pc and McGill faced off for the state title in both basketball and football this calendar school year. Can't remember last time I saw that with two schools.

Can't recall anything like that either.  Little...I mean little, because it's the AISA High School division, factoid.  Yesterday, Abbeville Christian won the AISA State baseball championship.  They also won the basketball and football State titles this year as well.  Abbeville is a little town about 20 miles northeast of Dothan on 431 and on the way to the Phenix Sitties.

I'm thinking we'll sign 4 or 5 LBers in this class.
