On Saturday, Auburn hosted one of the biggest recruiting events of the year, known as "Big Cat Weekend". The hope is that a few commitments from attending athletes will follow.
The first commit of the day, though, came from a player who did not even attend the event.
Chandler Cox, the nation's number two fullback according to Rivals.com, tweeted his commitment to the Tigers over Florida and several other programs.
The Apopka, Florida native named the Tigers his leader following the A-Day game and indicated a commitment could come at any time.
At 6-foot-1, 220-pounds, Cox is considered an ideal fit for the H-Back position Jay Prosch played last season. With senior Brandon Fulse graduating following the 2014 season, the chance for early playing time is there.
There is also little need to worry about the firmness of his commitment, as Cox has told multiple sources that his commitment is solid.
Besides being considered a huge pickup in his own right, Cox is also a friend and teammate of five-star offensive tackle Martez Ivey, who has the Tigers among his favorites.
