Social Slant: Twitter reacts to Darron Reed's flip from LSU to Auburn
Auburn doesn’t know who its next head coach will be but the Tigers nonetheless have pulled off a major recruiting get. Four-star defensive lineman Darron Reed on Friday flipped his commitment from LSU to Auburn.
Reed, a standout at Columbus (Ga.) Carver, is the No. 40 recruit in the country for On3.
For Auburn — and defensive line coach Jimmy Brumbaugh — this was massive news.

Here is his On3 scouting summary: “Big-framed, long defensive lineman with the build and versatile skill set to project at multiple spots along the front. Checks in at 6-foot-5, 260 pounds with the frame and length to continue filling out. Would not be surprised to see him end up in the 300 pound range after some time in a college strength program. Lines up inside and at defensive end for Carver and excels at both spots. Shows off an explosive first step along with the on-field athleticism to track down ball carriers as a pursuit defender. Pairs that athleticism with strong hands and the ability to shed blocks in run defense. Had a strong junior season as a stalwart on the defensive line for a state finalist team.”
Here are some notable Twitter reactions … starting with Reed’s.
