There’s still a long way for Kamari McClellan to go in his recruiting process, but the Oxford (Ala.) quarterback was ecstatic to receive an offer from the home-state Tigers.
“It was amazing,” McClellan said per Auburn Undercover’s Jason Caldwell. “I got my first SEC offer. I thought it was going to be coming but I wasn’t sure.
In the signing class of 2024, the 6-foot-2, 180-pound signal-caller was on Auburn’s campus Monday taking part in camp and getting to show what he could do in front of new head coach Bryan Harsin and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo.
He must have made quite an impression as he left the Plains with the offer from Bobo.
“We did the individual session after the camp,” McClellan said. “We went to take pictures and Coach Bobo gave me the offer then. I just said ‘thank you coach, thank you for the opportunity.’”
McClellan his entering his first season as the start for Oxford after backing up Trey Higgins, who signed to play baseball at Mississippi State. He’s planning on trips to rivals LSU and Alabama soon as well but enjoy his time learning under Bobo.
It was good,” he said. “I learned some things after getting coached by him. He told me I had a nice ball and my footwork was good. He just told me that I was talented.”
