Hugh Freeze and Auburn’s coaching staff have struck gold by earning the commitments of two Central-Phenix City prospects, [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag] and [autotag]Dylan Gentry[/autotag].
Do they feel lucky enough to roll the dice on the possibility of earning a pledge from another former Red Devil? The possibility is evident.
[autotag]AJ Harris[/autotag], who signed with Georgia as a member of the 2023 recruiting class from Central-Phenix City, entered the transfer portal on Thursday. Not long after announcing his intention to enter the transfer portal, Harris made plans to visit Auburn. According to On3, Harris is paying a visit to the Plains this weekend.
Harris was the No. 1 recruit from the state of Alabama for the 2023 class. He was considered to be a five-star prospect by 247Sports, and was the No. 2 cornerback in the nation.
Despite the high-acclaim on the recruiting trail, Harris did not earn as much playing time in Athens that he was expecting. He played in five games this season for Georgia according to Pro Football Focus, totaling 89 snaps.
Auburn is looking to replace [autotag]DJ James[/autotag] and [autotag]Nehemiah Pritchett[/autotag] in the backfield next season, and Harris could be a solid fit. The current transfer portal window will remain open until Jan. 2.
