Some recruits are big because of their rating. Some are big in stature.
Auburn landed one who fits both bills on Saturday. The Tigers received a commitment from 2017 four-star OT Austin Troxell of Madison, Alabama.
The young lineman already stands at 6-foot-7 and weighs 275 pounds.

Auburn coach Gus Malzahn was pumped, sending out what has become his signature tweet after the Tigers land a commitment.

Troxell becomes the Tigers’ ninth recruit for the class of 2017. He and five-star OT Calvin Ashley could anchor quite the offensive line for Auburn in the near future.
The Tigers had been battling in-state rival Alabama for Troxell’s services.
