It has been over a month since Auburn landed its last football commitment but that could change Friday.
Three-star offensive tackle Diego Pounds will announce his decision at 3:30 EST. The Auburn target has Auburn, Penn State, North Carolina and LSU as his finalists and told 247Sports that he has, “Found my home. I felt like I fit there and it’s my type of people and i love the coaches and the program.”
Penn State is the 247Sports Crystal Ball favorite for the 6-foot-6, 305-pound Pounds who is the nation’s No. 38 offensive tackle, according to the 247Sports Composite.
He also previously talked with 247 about his final schools.
Auburn: “Auburn has a beautiful campus and they’re really good in football and me and Coach (Jack) Bicknell have a connection going. I just like Auburn. Auburn grabs my attention.”
LSU: “Defending National Champs, great facilities, great people and I’m from down South. SEC is the best football, I love to compete and that’s where you can go compete.”
North Carolina: “They’re cool right now. Mack Brown is a legend. Can’t go wrong with that and all my boys are committed there.”
Penn State: “The offensive line coach, it’s a connection that’s just insane. From a football standpoint they’re good and academic standpoint they’re great and the fanbase is crazy.”
