Auburn has landed a commitment from the nation's No. 2 dual-threat quarterback.

Sulphur Springs (Texas) four-star Tyrik Rollison said Tuesday he plans to sign with the Tigers Feb. 4, National Signing Day.

"I just committed to Auburn," Rollison said. "I know Auburn is where my heart was leading me. It's hard to believe I'm going to Auburn. Earlier in the process, I wasn't even being recruited by Auburn, but I went and visited and it's an amazing place."

"Once I leave my family in Texas and go to Auburn, it's like I'm going to a whole other family."

Rollison was recruited to Auburn by assistant Curtis Luper.

"I talked to Coach Luper and told him I was committing. He was excited," said Rollison. "Me and Coach Luper have a great relationship. I've known him for a while. That kind of helped everything."

The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder gave his verbal pledge to Auburn after taking an official visit to the Plains this past weekend.

Rollison chose the Tigers after narrowing his list to Auburn and Kansas State. He also had offers from Kansas, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Florida State, Oregon and Arizona among others.

This past fall as a senior, Rollison threw for a school-record 4,728 yards and 53 touchdowns. He also rushed for 1,094 yards.

Rollison led Sulphur Springs to the Class 4A Division II state championship. In the title game, a game Sulphur Springs won 69-49 over Dayton, Rollison combined for 517 yards and seven touchdowns. He connected on 23-of-29 passes for 398 yards and four scores, and also added 127 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.

As a junior, Rollison completed 296-of-423 passes (69.9%) for 3,691 yards and 37 touchdowns. He also rushed for 554 yards and seven more scores.

"I'm solid," he said. "I'll sign with Auburn."

Rivals.com rates Rollison the No. 9 overall recruit in the state of Texas and No. 60 in the country. He is the Tigers' 20th commitment in the 2009 class and second quarterback. Leroy (Ala.) High's Clint Moseley has said he will also sign with Auburn.

I am hearing it is REAL iffy that he qualifies.  is that legit?

[tiger88]

His act is low. Heard he is working on the grades. Possible but not definite at all is what I've heard.

TIFWIW, someone at scouts, rivals, or some other place said that he took the ACT in 10th and made a 13, took it again at the beginning of this year and made a 15.  His grades don't seem to be the big problem, it's his ACT score, but someone mentioned that all he needs is a 2.6 and a 16 on his ACT to qualify.  Hopefully his ass will get a tutor and qualify.  Who knows though?


EDIT: Can someone explain the thing about composite scores?  I thought you had to have an 18 on your ACT no matter what.

Who cares about his grades...kid's got Stars!!!

He's an Auburn recruit.  He's got grillz, skillz and a pimp cup.

The NCAA has always used a sliding scale in order to determine initial eligibility. They now use the sum ACT score instead of the score most of yall would be familiar with. Here is an estimation of the sliding scale using the old ACT scores:


Sliding Scale:

GPA......ACT
2.00......22
2.20.....20
2.40.....18
2.60.....16
2.80.....14

No problem.

Exactly!

You can't argue with a thread that combines Auburn reeling in the #2 QB recruit in the nation and hot girls with guitars.

Rivals mods and Scout mods are confirming that according to Tyrik's HS coach, he will qualify and that the rumors about the ACT and other academic issues are 2 years old.   TIFWIW...

Hope he gets in with no problem.  That would be a bad ass QB battle between Kodi, Neil, Barret, Clint, Tyrik and yes, maybe even Chris Turkey arm Todd.

Speaking of which, how extensive was his surgery?  I never heard what it was or any details.  I went back the other day and watched a few of his highlight vids and that was not the same Chris Todd that took the field for us last season.  I am not saying that he had a lighting bolt for an arm before, but IMO it was pretty obvious that something was not right.
