Darrion Hutcherson is set

djsimp · « **on:** April 21, 2011, 10:06:33 AM »

...to announce his commitment today at 1:30 CT. I think he is a heavy Auburn lean. Doesn't have a huge offer list but many describe him as the #1 TE in the country.
6-foot-7, 245lbs
40 - 4.7

He must have some smarts if Vandy is recruiting him.

Rivals lists a slightly bigger list. Still nothing super impressive.

Memphis, Louisville, Oklahoma State, Utah, etc.

6'7 245? Smart?

I like him. He may be a project and may not contribute until his junior year; however, anyone that tall and big can be molded into something useful.

Was thinking this as well. At TE we have Lutz for two more years, Fulse and Uzi from last years class. If that is not the plan then put some weight on him and put him on the line somewhere.

Makes sense because at 6'8" this guy is a tree.

C'mon...rim shot.

Tough crowd

Well I was at least thinking with these size of young Auburn fellas around, no wonder his sorry ass was hiding down by an undisclosed creek.

Good feet, long span and an OT in the making.
Unless he and Pike are planned for bookend DEs.

I totally forgot about what I heard Jay Barker say Thursday morning.

He actually said - without even a giggle - that Auburn may make Zeke Pike a defensive end. Then, he went on to explain how a lot of guys go to other schools because they want to play a particular position and get spooked into thinking they'll be placed at another.
