Four-star Alabama commit Jeremiah Beaman sets official visit to Auburn

Can Hugh Freeze and Auburn pry another top recruit away from Nick Saban?

[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and the rest of Auburn’s coaching staff have shown the ability to flip elite recruits from their rivals and they have a new target in mind. This time it’s four-star defensive lineman [autotag]Jeremiah Beaman[/autotag], who committed to Alabama on May 21.

Their work is paying off as he has scheduled an official visit to the Plains for Sept. 29-Oct. 1, according to a report from On3’s Jeffrey Lee. That is the weekend that Auburn will host the Georgia Bulldogs.

“I’m committed to Alabama,” he told Lee. “But I gave my word to Auburn before I committed that I would like to take a OV this fall.”

Beaman is the No. 74 overall player and No. 11 defensive lineman in the On3 industry ranking. The Birmingham native is also the No. 7 player from Alabama.

The visit will be his third trip to Auburn this year, he unofficially visited in March and April before committing to the Crimson Tide.
