Weekend official visits to watch for 3 key Auburn targets
Auburn is hosting a big official visit weekend starting on Friday, May 31. That will be the case for the first three weekends in June, too. Auburn’s competition will be hosting the Tigers’ key targets every weekend as well. It would be smart for Auburn Live to keep an eye on those. For that May 31 weekend, there are three key targets taking official visits that will surely threaten Auburn’s chances of landing them.
OL, Malachi Goodman – Penn State
Goodman is fresh off of his official visit to Auburn. Before that, he was fresh off of his first unofficial visit to Auburn. The Tigers have been the trending team for a couple of weeks, but Penn State is looking to put a stop to that. Based on our intel, the Nittany Lions are the ones to watch for Goodman. Has Auburn done enough to outlast this official visit, though. That is not clear yet.
Bottom line: Penn State has a chance to seize the momentum with an official visit. After talking with Goodman, it seems he won’t rush things and will follow through with his visits before making a decision. “(I will make a decision) Probably in the summer or August, but not if I don’t know, though,” he said after his Auburn official visit. “If I don’t know then I will bring it out into the season.”
WR, Derick Smith – Alabama
Smith is committed to Alabama and has been since March. Auburn has continued to recruit him and will host him on an official visit June 7. So far, Alabama and Auburn are the only two known visits for Smith.
There are two ways to look at this: No. 1, The Tide having the first official visit can be troublesome for Auburn. We have seen recruits cancel trips and shut things down after officially visiting where they’re committed. This would be tough blow for Auburn’s chances, obviously. No. 2, Auburn having the last official visit could be good if it can hold on to that visit. It would not be the first time Smith was not at Auburn when expected.
Auburn is working to stay relevant while still pitching receiver for Smith.
Edge, Zion Grady – Miami
There is currently a prediction for Grady to land with Miami, but Auburn is squarely in the picture, too. Grady will take his visit to Miami this weekend, then an official visit to Auburn on June 10. Florida State and Tennessee will also get visits in June.
Grady is one that Auburn has turned up the heat with. Miami, and even Ohio State, have made moves with him recently. The trip to Miami could be big moving forward for Grady’s recruitment. This visit is one the Tigers know they will have to top when he makes it town. Then again, Grady has popped in for quick visits at Auburn a few times lately. Auburn knows Miami will have some momentum after this official visit, regardless.
