Four star OL Casey Poe commits to Alabama over Auburn

The Crimson Tide has edged Auburn for one of the top offensive linemen in the country for the 2024 class.

Hugh Freeze, Jake Thornton, and the entire coaching staff at Auburn hoped to land its first offensive line commitment of the 2024 cycle on Wednesday.

However, it was not meant to be.

Poe spent the month of June visiting several campuses across the country, including Auburn. While he was on his visit to the Plains in mid-June, he called his time “special.” However, he visited Alabama the following week, and that is when the Crimson Tide built momentum. Following his visit to Tuscaloosa, 247Sports and On3 each predicted that Poe would commit to Alabama.

Now that Poe is off the board, Auburn remains in the hunt to land several offensive linemen including four-star [autotag]DeAndre Carter[/autotag], four-star [autotag]Preston Taumua[/autotag], and three-star [autotag]Jameson Riggs[/autotag].
