Auburn did not have to look far to find their latest target. The Tigers extended an offer to Opelika 3-star edge rusher [autotag]Brenton Williams[/autotag] on Thursday.
Williams had been committed to Coastal Carolina since June 12 but decommitted Thursday before announcing his offer from Auburn as well as two from Penn State and Missouri.
The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder is ranked as the No. 104 edge rusher and No. 1257 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite ranking. He is also the No. 47 player in the state of Alabama.
He has visited Auburn multiple times unofficially and now the staff will work to get him on campus for an official visit and try to add him to the recruiting class. Which already features products Bradyn Joiner (Auburn High) and JC Hart (Loachapoka High School).
Auburn has a massive need at edge with Eku Leota, Derick Hall, and Marcus Bragg all expected to move on after the season, leaving them with just Dylan Brooks on the roster. The Tigers currently have two edge commits, four-star Ashley Williams and four-star Wilky Denaud but are working to add more.
After great conversations with @CoachCaddy24 & @CoachRoc I’m blessed to have earned an offer from Auburn University🦅 #WDE 🔵🟠 pic.twitter.com/8QKEVt3iJL
