Auburn hosted four-star offensive lineman [autotag]DeAndre Carter[/autotag] on an official visit over the weekend and its safe to say they knocked it out of the park.
“They (Auburn) shot pretty high up,” Carter told Auburn Undercover’s Christian Clemente. “I really loved it here, they’re definitely up at the top somewhere.”
“It went really good, I loved it a lot,” Carter added. “My first time being here, pretty much everything stood out. It was a big eye-opener for everything. It was very family-oriented. I love the coaches, I love their energy, I love what they want to do with the program. Loved everything.”
It was the first trip to Auburn for the Santa Ana, California native as Auburn is looking to pull him all the way across the country, something Carter is ok with doing.
“I’m open to it, it doesn’t really bother me leaving or staying,” Carter said. “I’ve been gone far from home for a couple months and didn’t really bother me.”
Carter is the No. 88 overall player and No. 2 interior offensive lineman in the 247Sports Composite ranking. The 6-foot-4, 340-pounder is also the No. 13 player from California.
While he is listed as a potential guard, Auburn offensive line coach [autotag]Jake Thornton[/autotag] thinks he has a chance to stick at tackle and is recruiting him as a guard or tackle.
