On Sunday, it was reported that 2023 offensive tackle D.J. Chester would be making the trip to the Plains this weekend. This will be the first opportunity that Chester will get to see what Auburn is about since being offered earlier this year in February.
Chester is regarded as a four-star by 247Sports’ recruiting rankings. The Georgia native is ranked as the No. 64 recruit in the ’23 class and is ranked as the No. 3 player in the entire state of Georgia.
He is listed at 6-foot-5 and 295 pounds. With that size, Chester could very easily transition to play guard for the Tigers. However, he will likely add muscle weight to maintain a tackle spot on the Tigers roster.
Recently, Chester announced his top twelve schools — with one of those schools being Auburn. Other programs in the mix include Florida State, Miami, Ole Miss, Michigan, South Carolina, LSU, NC State, Michigan State, USC, Nebraska, and Florida A&M. Among the schools listed, we can confirm that he has visited both Auburn and Florida State.
The product of Eagles Landing Christian Academy competed in the discus as a junior. He even won Georgia Class 1A state championships in the shot put. The Tigers need someone that can push people off the line and open up holes. The coaching staff is certainly enamored with Chester and would love to have him join the 2023 recruiting class.
