Auburn commit makes recruiting pitch to 4-star OL Malik Agbo

Malik Agbo is one of the best uncommitted offensive lineman in the country. And at least one Auburn commit really wants to play alongside him.

On3’s Chad Simmons was in Washington visiting Agbo on Wednesday and posted about the trip on Twitter.

Consensus four-star running back Damari Alston came across the post and quoted-tweeted it, telling Agbo “come block for me and (four-star quarterback Holden Geriner).”

Agbo retweeted it and Geriner liked it.

Malik Agbo will fill a major need need for Auburn

Auburn needs offensive linemen.

Auburn Live’s Jeffrey Lee was blunt with this assessment during a recruiting rundown last month.

“Offensive line is the absolute biggest need,” Lee said. “Their offensive line recruiting the past seven, eight years has been abysmal. Auburn is so far behind both Alabama and Georgia in the trenches that is going to take several probably several classes for Auburn to get caught back up. But you can’t get caught up unless you sign a good lineman this year.”

Since then, the Tigers have picked up two offensive line commits in Auburn (Ala.) High teammates Drew Bobo and Eston Harris Jr. Harris is a four-star recruit and Bobo is a three-star recruit.

But, as Lee said, it is going to take more than few recruits to build the position group up to a higher standard. But a player like Malik Agbo can help bring the Tigers closer to that goal.

Agbo is the No. 338 overall recruit in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is down to his final five schools of Auburn, Florida, Miami, Oklahoma and Texas.
