[autotag]Chris Cole[/autotag] is a three-star linebacker from Salem, Virginia and his recruitment is certainly starting to pick up.
Tennessee offered him a scholarship on Saturday when he unofficially visited and now Auburn has entered his recruitment with linebackers coach [autotag]Josh Aldrige[/autotag] offering him Monday morning.
He is the No. 827 overall player and No. 81 linebacker in the 247Sports Composite ranking. He is also the No. 22 player from Virginia.
It will likely be a tough chalenge for Auburn to pull him away from his home state. Virginia Tech has offered and he has visited their campus five times already.
Auburn did not sign a high school linebacker in its 2023 recruiting class and is in the hunt to sign several this cycle. They have already extended over 15 scholarship offers to 2024 linebacker prospects but are still looking for their first commitment.
After a great talk with @CoachA_AU I’m Blessed to receive an Offer from Auburn University !! Thank you for the opportunity. @AuburnFootball @CoachRonRoberts @CoachHughFreeze @CoachHolter0623 @adamgorney @RivalsFriedman @EJHollandOn3 @SWiltfong247 @BrianDohn247 @MohrRecruiting… pic.twitter.com/MAce3YSFpX
