Auburn Could Land Another Major Offensive Line Commitment on Monday

Another offensive lineman could be added to the Auburn Tigers' 2027 class as soon as Monday. 

Tom Loy of 247 Sports reports that three-star offensive tackle Rance Brown is set to announce his commitment Monday at 12 p.m. Eastern time on CBS Sports' YouTube channel. 

Brown, who will play this upcoming season at Retwood Academy in Tennessee, would be another big-time addition to Alex Golesh's 2027 recruiting class. He's listed at 6'6 ", 290 pounds, and is ranked as the 83rd best offensive tackle in the country, including the 40th overall recruit in the state of Tennessee. 

Brown has his decision down to two programs, as Auburn hopes to win out the battle with SEC rival Kentucky for his commitment. Brown has received over 20 scholarship offers, including some impressive ones from big-time programs such as North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Duke, Stanford, Maryland, and Arizona.

The high school recruit is originally from Alabama, and it's one thing that could help him sign with the Tigers. "Just growing up in Alabama, nothing would mean more than to play at a place that truly values in-state prospects like Auburn. Just being able to represent my last name in my home state would mean so much to my family and me," said Brown when discussing his finalists with 247 Sports. 

Andrew Ivins, the director of scouting at 247 Sports, believes that Brown is "tall and aggressive, who can create consistent push on Friday nights." With some development inside an SEC program, that could easily translate to Saturdays as well.

If Brown is to commit to the Tigers, it would be the ninth player added to the 2027 class. He would be the third offensive lineman to join Alex Golesh and the Auburn Tigers, following recent four-star addition Layton von Brandt and three-star guard Jaylon Moore.
