On Thursday night, Auburn extended an offer to 2023 Defensive Lineman Zavion Hardy.
Listed as a strongside defensive end, the Tigers could look to add depth thereafter likely losing Derrick Hall and [autotag]Eku Leota[/autotag] to the NFL Draft. Hardy is being recruited by numerous other schools, and the Tigers made sure to get themselves in the mix on Thursday by giving him an offer.
Among the list of schools targeting Hardy, you will find SEC rivals the Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, and Ole Miss Rebels. He is coming off a recent visit to the Grove. Currently ranked as a four-star recruit, Hardy is one that the Auburn Tigers and the defensive staff need to prioritize as their top defenders of the group is set to leave for the NFL following the season.
