JUCO lineman Markel Bell sets official visit with Auburn
Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze is making a mammoth JUCO offensive lineman a top priority as the calendar turns to the summer months.
Holmes Community College offensive tackle Markel Bell tells Jeffrey Lee of Auburn Live that he will officially visit Auburn’s campus during the weekend of May 12-14.
The forthcoming visit is important because it could lead to a quick commitment, as Freeze hopes to sign Bell and move him in by the end of the month.
“I might do it,” Bell tells Lee. “It’s definitely a possibility. I’m finishing up my last semester (at Holmes Community College), and I’m a qualifier so I can come out this summer. I was going to decide in July, but Auburn is talking about me coming in (May).”
According to Bell, Auburn is at the top of his list. So, if the visit goes well, expect Bell to commit to the Tigers next weekend.
Here’s a rundown of everything you need to know about this hot prospect ahead of his visit.
