Running back Damari Alston commits to the Auburn Tigers

The Tigers just landed a big-time running back!

Auburn has landed four-star running back Damari Alston after he announced his decision on his Instagram Sunday afternoon.

Alston, from College Park, Georgia, selected Bryan Harsin and the Auburn Tigers over LSU and Northwestern. He is a 5-foot-10, 205-pound back that can do it all.

Last season, Alston rushed for 1,507 yards and 25 touchdowns on 224 touches while adding 229 receiving yards and two scores on just 22 catches.

Auburn emerged as the favorite to land Alston’s services as several predictions came in for the Tigers. His relationship with Auburn running backs coach Carnell Williams appeared to be a factor.

Alston is the seventh member of Auburn’s 2022 signing class. He joins quarterback Holden Geriner, tight end Micah Riley-Ducker, wide receiver Jay Fair, linebacker Powell Gordon, safety Caleb Wooden, and kicker Alex McPherson.
