Ad Disclosure
There have been rumors swirling around top 2017 OT prospect Calvin Ashley ever since he first pledged to Auburn back in May of 2015.
He thoroughly considered other schools. Originally a Florida native, Ashley moved with his family to Washington D.C. for his senior season. Unsurprisingly so, Maryland has a major player in his recruitment. Ashley officially visited the Terrapins on Dec. 9.
With all of this said, Ashley made a powerful statement Thursday on social media:

Keeping Ashley in the fold is huge. The 6-foot-6, 310-pound 5-star is talented enough to come in right away and instantly make the two-deep. There’s even a good chance for Ashley to start as a true freshman.
After announcing this news on Twitter, Auburn OL coach Herb Hand cryptically professed his joy over the announcement:
