On Wednesday, 2023 offensive tackle Naquil Betrand announced his top ten schools. Auburn was one of the schools listed. Interestingly enough, one of the schools that he included — Colorado is the school that he is currently committed to. He committed to the Buffaloes on March 22, 2022.
The other schools that the Pennsylvania native included were Texas A&M, Georgia, Kentucky, Syracuse, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Maryland, and Boston College. Betrand is listed at 6-foot-7 and 310 pounds. He is regarded as a three-star by 247Sports composite rankings.
The Tigers will likely lose several offensive tackles after the season is over. Kilian Zierer (Sr.), Alec Jackson (Sr.), and Austin Troxell (Sr.) will all either enter the 2023 NFL draft or return by using the extra COVID year provided by the NCAA. It will be a tall task for the coaching staff to out-recruit the likes of both Texas A&M and Georgia. Colorado has his commitment at the present time, so it won’t be easy to get him to flip. The best chance the Tigers have is if he makes an official visit to the Plains in the fall.
