Three-star defensive lineman [autotag]Sean Sevillano Jr.[/autotag] is originally from Canada but thanks to training with former Auburn running back Tim Jessie he had plenty of interest in the Tigers.
That interest was mutual as the Tigers offered him a scholarship and hosted him for an unofficial visit in May. Sevillano Jr. included the Tigers in his final group alongside Ohio State, Notre Dame and Miami.
While they made the final cut, the Tigers were not the pick as he announced his commitment to Notre Dame Friday.
He is the No. 920 overall player and No. 87 defensive lineman in the 247Sports Composite ranking. He is also the No. 125 player from Florida.
He was extremely productive last season for Clearwater Academy International, making 75 tackles, 21.0 tackles for loss and 19.0 sacks in 11 games.
The Tigers may have missed out on Sevillano Jr. but they are still in contention for several promising defensive linemen. Most notable is [autotag]Malik Blocton[/autotag], who the Tigers are the favorite to land.
They are also set to host four-star defensive lineman [autotag]LJ McCray[/autotag] for an official visit on June 12.
Auburn currently has five commitments in the 2024 recruiting cycle with the group being led by four-star quarterback [autotag]Walker White[/autotag].
