That doesn't mean he gets the keys to the bank vault. Also, Auburn's assistants are among the highest paid in college football. They don't normally leave here for a side-way change.

LKEEL75 2,566 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 First, Welcome to the family ZM! I am not complaining on such an athletic LB, but is he not just a little small for a MLB? I thought we were sticking with the 6-3 235 kind of player. I know he will put on some weight in our S&C program, but will he put on enough to play MLB or will they move him outside?

Top100 in May to 200+ today He was in their top 150 this time & dropped 66 spots. As to why?...His size Quote “McClain is a very intriguing prospect for multiple reasons. As a linebacker though, he is on the small side and his frame is a little narrow. It will be interesting to see how he fills out and he how/where he is used on the next level. We know he has speed to the ball and he delivers some pop too. His frame is a concern and just how he will play in the box on the next level. He recently committed to Auburn.” - Simmons Edited December 5, 2017 by ellitor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Kodi worth 150K a year more than Travis. I don't think so. Travis has put in more time to boot. Edited December 7, 2017 by NorthGATiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but he had more experience as a full time college coach & had a full time job at a P5 school so he gets paid more til T-Will's 1st full time coaching contract is up which I believe is soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFE12 9,191 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Quote McClain ready to sign with AU AUBURN | Zakoby McClain isn’t an early enrollee, but that won’t keep him from signing in the early signing period. McClain, a four-star linebacker from Valdosta, Ga., will end his recruitment on Wednesday, the first day allowed by the NCAA. “I’m ready,” McClain said. McClain committed to Auburn in November, choosing the Tigers over LSU and West Virginia. His relationship with Auburn linebackers coach Travis Williams was a big reason his chose Auburn. After an official visit over the weekend, it’s more than just Williams. “I loved it,” McClain said. “I love the players, and everybody that’s committed here is cool.” McClain met and hung out with several fellow commitments during his two-night visit. Quarterback Joey Gatewood, defensive ends Richard Jibunor and Kayode Oladele, linebacker Michael Harris and running back Asa Martin were among a large group of commitments on campus. “We were hanging out,” McClain said. And making plans. “We want to win a championship,” McClain said. “We want to bring that back to Auburn.” McClain will join Auburn’s early enrollees in the summer. In the meantime, he’ll be working to gain weight. “I’m 200 and I want to be at 225,” McClain said. “I’m competitive, tough, physical and fast linebacker, but I want to get stronger and a little bit faster.” Edited December 18, 2017 by ellitor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
