4-star fullback Chandler Cox @chandlercox10 "100 percent committed" to Auburn

@ITATJason

[ClaytonAU 4,606]

This is pivotal in regards to Martez Ivey's recruitment right?

[AU Counsel 64]

This is pivotal in regards to Martez Ivey's recruitment right?

Pivotal, unlikely. Helpful, probably.

And we got an excellent H-Back prospect in Cox.

Taking nothing away from Cox at all, freak athlete. But I'd love to have his best buddy Martez on board with him!

[The Plainsman 948]

BOOM! Cox is a HUGE get for AU... All by himself. HUGE HUGE HUGE!

[gilstein21 1]

he's going to be a great H-back in this offense. good toughness and athleticism

[Dixie1860 27]

When Gus has a 3-Back he can count on, it is essentially a Guard eligible (not literally) that makes both the run and pass games more effective.

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662]

Top 5 should be guaranteed.

“@Niebuhr247: New #Auburn commit Chandler Cox is a tough dude. Practiced last week with a cracked rib if my memory is correct”

[JFDTiger80 790]

Cox will be a great blocker

Council, Cox's skill set is better than just a blocker. He will be more integrated into the offense with pass catching. He can really run and as you said, block as well. The kid is a terrific athlete. This is great news. Welcome to the family Mr Cox!

[JDUBB4AU 5,116]

This kid has speed power and hes a football player. This is a monster pick up

[Martinisat5 5]

His body and running style remind me of Will Herring when he played QB at Opelika.

[WarEagle84 0]

BOOM!

@chandlercox10

I have committed to the Auburn University!!!! #WarEagle I'm so blessed!!

No way this is legit ... all our real commits are to "the University of Auburn".

War Eagle, Mr. Cox!

[autigeremt 6,601]

We need kids like this! Great haul.

[AUbritt 611]

WDE!

I was trying to think about who he reminded me of and you nailed it. Good call.

[augolf1716 21,110]

He stated he will take no more recruiting visits and 100% Auburn. He will try to recruit Tez to Auburn as hard as he can. He called Tez just after committing to Auburn

[JFDTiger80 790]

Great news. I would love to have both Tez and Chandler.

It sounds like if Chandler has anything to do with it we will! I love what I'm hearing about this young man.

"@Niebuhr247: New #Auburn commit Chandler Cox is a tough dude. Practiced last week with a cracked rib if my memory is correct"

Understanding it's been written he was "playing a game Friday near Tampa" (?), what crazy staff is letting him practice/play in May with a cracked rib?

Spring game in Winter Haven

Very illuminating read. This really caught my attention:

AL.com: What role do you see yourself playing at Auburn?

CC: More like a (Philip) Lutzenkickchen-type, out in the slot and moving with motion and stuff. They want me to block, go out for passes, run the ball some and play some Wildcat quarterback where I can throw and run. I really like the plan they have for me.

I read that, and all I can see in my head is an image of CGM in some lab somewhere cackling madly while lightning strikes. Gosh, I love our coach, and I'm loving the fact he's getting more toys to play with.

[mcgufcm 4,096]

Well, Lutz was our starting H-Back in 2011. I suspect that's how we intend to use Cox as well. Commentators used to highlight Lutz to show which way the ball was going (did the same thing with Prosch last year). This just confirms that we see him as a more dynamic guy than just a pure blocker.

Big time get. FB/HB are huge spots in this offense.
