Byron Cowart committed to Auburn at 8 o'clock this morning, but that was not the end of his recruiting process.
Cowart's national letter of intent did not arrive in Auburn until 3 p.m.
Cowart, who narrowed his choices down to Auburn and Florida, is a five-star defensive end and has been named by some recruiting outlets as the number one player in the country.
There was much speculation during the time between Cowart's commitment and the arrival of his letter, with conflicting reports being put forth on who was holding the letter, Cowart or his high school coach, whose son is employed by the Florida football program.
On the field over the last two seasons, the six-foot-four strong side defense end has recorded 24 sacks, along with 36 tackles for loss and 140 tackles.
