Tigers extend offer to 4-star offensive line prospect

Can the Tigers steal a talented OL prospect from right out of Alabama and Auburn’s backyard?

Ryqueze McElderry is a four-star offensive lineman from Anniston, Alabama. The 6-foot-3 340 pound lineman starts for the Class 4A Anniston Bulldogs, a team I have some familiarity with.

The Anniston Bulldogs were led to a 5-5 record and a first-round playoff loss to the St. James Trojans by 2022 Alabama signee and four-star athlete Antonio Kite, as well as a plethora of pancakes by McElderry.

McElderry is currently committed to play for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Anniston is pretty much sandwiched between Alabama and Auburn, so I’d expect both of them to make a run at him as 2023 recruiting ramps up. Hopefully, Coach Kelly can work his magic with McElderry, because he is a human motor grader.
