A recruit who had put Auburn in his top four schools recently has locked in his official visit.
Three-star Linebacker Phil Picciotti, who Auburn offered in the middle of March, will visit the Plains from June 24 to June 26. Auburn is the last official visit that Picciotti will take among his final four teams — he’ll go to Oklahoma on June 3, Nebraska on June 10 and Michigan on Jun 14 before finally heading to Auburn.
Coach [autotag]Bryan Harsin[/autotag] and the Tigers will certainly want to make a big impression on Picciotti while he’s on campus. 247Sports’ Crystal Ball has Picciotti going to Oklahoma, the first school he plans to visit. Because he’ll go to Michigan and Nebraska before Auburn, he’ll have built up expectations for his visit that the staff on the Plains will have to surpass if they want to lure Picciotti into becoming an Auburn Tiger.
Picciotti is a solid tackling linebacker who netted 144 total tackles in his junior season, 19 of which were tackles for a loss. It is currently unclear if Harsin will remain Auburn’s football coach into 2023, but he’ll be looking to build a solid foundation for his future defense if he does — a role that Picciotti, while not the flashiest prospect, could certainly fill for him if he does choose Auburn.
