2024 DL Rueben Bain is set to visit the Plains this weekend

Elite 2023 four-star defensive lineman Rueben Bain announced that he would be visiting the Plains.

On Tuesday, 2023 defensive lineman Rueben announced that he would be making an official visit to Auburn from June 10-12. Bain previously took an unofficial visit to the Plains back in March of this year. The upcoming visit will be the second time that the Florida native has made a trip to Auburn.

Bain is regarded as a four-star according to 247Sports’ recruiting rankings. He is listed at 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds. As a junior, Bain filled up the stat sheet for Miami Central High School. He recorded 60 tackles, 29.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles. His ability to be a wrecking force on the interior sets him apart from the majority of the defensive lineman in the 2023 recruiting cycle.

Auburn is just one of the many schools that have shown extended interest in Bain. He has already taken seven unofficial visits to Miami since being offered in 2020. Also, he has taken two unofficial visits to Alabama with another visit coming up on June 24th. Other programs like Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Florida have also received visits from him.

It is clear to say that football is in the Bains’ family DNA. Rueben’s father, Reggie Bain, played as a four-year starter on the offensive line at Florida Atlantic University. His uncle, Tolbert Bain, played as a four-year starter at the University of Miami. With the Hurricanes clearly being in the mix, one would assume that they are the clear-cut leader in his recruitment. Contrary to popular belief, other teams like the Tigers still have a chance to land Bain.

Gators set to host this South Florida 4-star DL

Four-star defensive lineman Rueben Bain knows plenty about Florida’s football program, but he’s hoping to get to know the new staff over the weekend.

Miami Central defensive lineman Rueben Bain is the latest blue-chip recruit to join the Football Hotbed tour, and he’ll join a handful of elite prospects on a weekend visit to the University of Florida on Friday, March 18, according to 247Sports.

Bain, a four-star recruit by 247Sports’ measure, has been to Gainesville in the past, but that was before Billy Napier took over the program. Defensive line coach Sean Spencer and defensive analyst Jamar Chaney are familiar with Bain from their time recruiting him at other schools, but he’ll get a chance to meet the new staff in its entirety over the weekend.

“I have been there three times already, so I know they have an overall good program,” Bain said. “And the new coaches are just trying to build it back. I talked to the old staff, so I can’t say much more than they always had a good attitude about me. I just want to see what the new guys do there.”

Programs such as Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Penn State, Pitt, South Carolina and West Virginia stand out right now for Bain as ones to beat, but he’s looking to take his recruitment deeper into the fall. Official visits will likely come over the summer to get some quality time with coaches and a few fall game visits are also in the works.

The 247sport composite ranks Bain as the No. 142 overall recruit in the class of 2023 and the No. 21 defensive lineman.
