If we got both, that would be insane. Either way, I like the pickup!! I think the plan is to take 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 737 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Great pickup. Much better athlete than his 5* brother. When I first saw the name I thought Uh-oh. If UGA offers late he'll flip. But I don't think so. Tyler and family are all in. Welcome to AU family. WDE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFE12 9,191 Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 Boom! Auburn Snags Commitment From 3-Star Tight End Tyler Fromm! Auburn’s raid of the Peach State continues By AUNerd on May 5, 2018 5:22 pm Tyler Fromm’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/FrommTyler/status/992880712406708224 One of Auburn’s priorities this recruiting class is to fill the gaping hole that is Auburn’s tight end position. The Tigers want two in this class and had narrowed in on four guys. This afternoon after his 4th trip to the Plains, one of those targets, 3* Tyler Fromm, announced on Twitter he wants to be a Tiger. That last name should look familiar. Fromm is in fact the younger brother of current Georgia starting quarterback Jake Fromm. Guessing the Fromm parents will be purchasing some “House Divided” license plates in the near future. Fromm chose Auburn over Florida, LSU, Ole Miss and plenty of others. He emerged on the scene this spring after a strong junior campaign. He plans to enroll early and will return June 2nd for Big Cat Weekend to help the Tigers recruit some more studs to this ever growing 2019 recruiting class. Scouting Report Fromm is a hybrid TE/WR threat on the outside. He lined up mostly at WR for his high school team last year but he will more than likely play the TE spot for the Tigers. I love Fromm’s catch radius. Many of his highlights is just his QB throwing the ball up for Fromm to go get. He’s got solid route running ability and is a decent blocker as well. He will probably need to bulk up a little more at the next level but he’s got a skillset at a position of need that should allow him to see the field early. Great weapon to add to Auburn’s offensive attack in the near future. The Class It’s crazy to think Auburn entered the month of April with only 2 commits. They now have 7 and there’s a chance they could add as many as 3 more this month. I don’t think Fromm will be the only tight end the Tigers sign as Auburn’s other top target, 3* Luke Deal, plans to announce at end of month and Auburn has some real momentum in that recruitment after his recent official visit. That tandem would more than likely bring back the tight end as a weapon in the Auburn offense, something I think Tiger fans would love to see. Auburn now has the #16 class in the country and a ton of momentum. Fromm wasn’t the only GA native on campus this weekend as 5* CB Andrew Booth, 4* WR Ramel Keytonand 3* S Aaron Beasley all have or are visiting the Plains this weekend. All three are giving Auburn a hard look as well. I have a sneaky feeling there are some more booms coming in the very near future for Auburn’s recruiting class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, hope he stays at TE, as I feel over the years Gus has recruited several "hybrid" position guys and just tries to put their athleticism in a spot of need on the depth chart instead of putting them at their natural positions. Regardless, it's always good to add a highly touted guy to the commitment list. Welcome, TFromm and WDE He seems to be hybrid just like Sal was. I will try not to dwell on that. He just needs to add more weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal was open at times but couldn't catch a cold last year. I still hope the light comes on for him. Maybe the freshmen will push him to another level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 737 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Looks like a Lutz clone to me. Physical receiver with great hands and athleticism. About the same size. Then PL packed on about 30 pounds of muscle pretty quickly at Auburn. I think we have a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember everyone was excited about Sal and the offense didn't tailor at him to all last year imo. If he stays he'll be the 1st receiving TE we have landed since CJU. The only others during the time frame from then to now were Jakell Mitchell (RIP), Ricky Parks (Grades), & Landon Rice (kicked out of school for disciplinary issues). Canella is a WR not TE. Gotta have a TE you can use in the passing game before you can throw to one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm so used to the TE having his hand in the ground and running a route or blocking and releasing. He lined up on the outside a lot.
