ellitor 33,038 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Quote Auburn offers, moves to No. 1 spot for Florida DB Jeffrey Lee • AuburnSports Senior Editor @JLeeAURivals Auburn last week offered a Florida defensive back and quickly moved to the top of his list. Dontae Balfour, a 6-foot-2, 170-pound cornerback from Bradford in Starke, Fla., lists Auburn his new favorite after an offer and subsequent virtual visit. “Auburn is in the No. 1 spot,” Balfour said. Balfour received the Auburn offer last Tuesday. It was his fourth SEC offer. He also has offers from South Carolina, Ole Miss and Missouri. “Getting the Auburn offer was unbelievable,” Balfour said. “It was crazy. It was a blessing.” Balfour found out about the offer after speaking with area recruiter Al Pogue and defensive backs coach Wesley McGriff. Balfour then spoke with Gus Malzahn and the entire defensive staff before taking a virtual visit. “I had a virtual tour and loved it,” Balfour said. “It was amazing. It was real nice. Auburn is a real nice school.” Auburn is at the top of Balfour’s list of favorites, which also includes Ole Miss, South Carolina and Tulane. “I love the school and how the campus is,” Balfour said of Auburn. “I like the dorms, the facilities, the coaches. It seems like a great place to be.” Balfour doesn’t have a timetable for making a commitment. He does, however, plan to sign in December. In eight games this season, Balfour has 34 tackles, 32 solos, two interceptions, two pass deflections and a fumble recovery. He also has 19 receptions for 308 yards and two touchdowns. Balfour said Auburn is recruiting him to play cornerback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of our starting corners now were 3* and they seem to be doing just fine.

AuburnNTexas 7,099 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I love the length. We seem to do a really good job of finding good DB's so the fact that is a 3* does not bother me at all. Will need to add some muscle mass but that will happen at Auburn once he gets here assuming we sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most miserable towns I've ever been to. Has two off brand motels and mine was covered in dry blood and roaches. How they won the bid to host regional that year I'll never know. Only notable fact about that town is that Ted Bundy was executed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
