Hudl Highlights

"It was an excellent experience," Price said of his time on the Plains. "Every time I come out here to Auburn I love it. It was great."

...

"(Malzahn) broke down the depth chart and let me know they have two tackles right now that will play probably their last year and end up going to the NFL," Price said. "They're recruiting a couple more offensive linemen, but they plan on me getting in here. They believe I have a real true chance at starting as a true freshman.

"Nothing will be given, I'll definitely have to earn it. That's clear, I know that. But they said if I come here with the right mind frame and work hard and work at it I'll definitely have a chance at being a starter."

...

"My list is still the same," he said. "Auburn and Michigan are tied. They're still co-leaders. I don't know when I'll be able to get up (to Michigan,) but I definitely plan on doing that. I won't make any decisions about moving Auburn and Michigan's ranking before I get a chance to get up there."

"Every time I come here they show a lot of love to me," Price told 247Sports after a visit last July. "They always make me very comfortable when I come out here. They tell me every time I come here that they want me to be an Auburn Tiger."

...

"He's a physical freak, by all definitions," Central Gwinnett head coach Todd Wofford told AL.com last month. "Very athletic, can run, he's powerful but only scratching the surface of what he can do.

"He has a mean streak. He's like the prototype left tackle."

Wow, the kid certainly does seem to be looking nationally that's for sure. Surprising Georgia didn't make the list, but nevertheless glad to see we're at the top of it. He looks like he'll be a good one.

Mr Price holds his blocks very well. He plays for a very good Program in GA. He will need to gain another 40pds or so before he plays in the SEC. He has the frame to do it.

40?? He already weighs 290. Maybe just build up his muscle/strength. I would say maybe another 20.

[au_bsci_04 407]

He's a '16 commit, has 2 summers and and entire season to get bigger before entering college. These guys can't be sec size at 16....

Even though georgia didn't make his top ten, many think they'll still be a player for him come signing day.

[McLoofus 35,182]

1. I don't think anybody was suggesting that the kid doesn't weigh enough. Merely pointing out that he can and will get bigger.

2. I wouldn't put any stock in that list. I wonder how much contact he's had with Jim Harbaugh, for instance.

@Ej_Price77: I am open to all schools those are just the leaders

Archer has a WR we are also recruiting for the 2016 class IIRC.

I read somewhere yesterday that he was 265 pds. If he is 290 that is good for now. I see that 247 and Rivals list him at 290.

JFDTiger89>> I got ya.

His highlights had him listed at 265...probably where you saw it.

Premium, but Michigan now co-leader with AU.

[CameronCrazy 1,057]

We need to lock this kid down!!

[Randman5000 4,223]

I hope we can get this kid on campus soon. The route to a couple others as well

“@Keith247Sports: Several top prospects to visit #Auburn on Saturday, including Army All-American EJ Price http://auburn.247sports.com/Article/Top-prospects-to-visit-Auburn-on-Saturday-35761411”

We really need to lock this guy up this weekend!

[WarDamnEagleWDE 12,737]

AU was hoping to get an early commit from Prince and Rochester. Now we have a huge fight for both. Sucks.

[augolf1716 21,096]

Yep that sucks alright.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the norm when it comes to us.

OP updated ...

[AU64 10,122]

Al.com says AU is out of his top 10...but I don't recall seeing him mentioned as an AU prospect. What's this about? Something to make bammmers feel good? Or did I miss something earlier?

He said we weren't in his top 5 but were in his top 10.

[CameronCrazy 1,057]

This is a HUGE deal. EJ Price is a player that we have been recruiting hard. The coaches we're hoping to get an early commitment from him this spring. We were his co-leaders after he visited a couple of weeks ago. He's an elite OT that we desperately need. Something went very wrong here if this is indeed true...
