Auburn received good news on the Tuesday morning after its Iron Bowl victory.
Five-star defensive tackle Lee Hunter from Blount High High in Eight Mile, Alabama, committed to the Tigers via social media. Hunter chose Auburn over Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
Hunter is the No. 4 defensive tackle and No. 28 overall recruit nationally according to the 247Sports composite rankings. Coming in at 6-foot-4 and 292 pounds, Hunter is a big recruiting win for Auburn.
This is Auburn's fourth commitment in the 2021 recruiting class and the first defensive lineman. He joins running back Armoni Goodwin, quarterback Aaron McLaughlin and athlete Brandon Perry.
