[autotag]Cortez Smith[/autotag] is one of Auburn’s top targets along the offensive line in the 2025 recruiting cycle and the feeling is mutual.
The four-star prospect has taken multiple visits to Auburn this season, including attending the games against Georgia and New Mexico State. He recently spoke with Auburn Undercover’s Christian Clemente and shared why he is so high on Auburn.
“Auburn, it’s just everything is close,” Smith said. “Nice facility, nice everything. Great football team, great community. Just family.”
Those factors have made Auburn a “top three” program in his recruitment, he admitted.
Smith is the No. 127 overall player and No. 6 interior offensive lineman in the 247Sports composite ranking. The Lilburn native is also the No. 18 player from Georgia.
