Twitter reacts to Auburn landing 4-star DL Malik Blocton
Auburn has been recruiting Malik Blocton for years and on Saturday they landed the four-star defensive lineman from Pike Road, Alabama.
Blocton picked the Tigers over Texas, Florida, Alabama and Troy. The 6-foot-4, 175-pounder is Auburn’s 10th commit overall and their first along the line of scrimmage.
While he is the younger brother of Auburn defensive lineman Marcus Harris, he told Christian Clements of Auburn Undercover that that’s not why he picked Auburn.
“Some people are going to think I’m making this decision based off him — it’s not based off him,” Blocton said. “Because he’s going to be leaving, this is his last year, me and him will never play together. It’s just Auburn fits for me.”
Auburn fans were ecstatic about landing Blocton and took to Twitter to celebrate, here is a look at the top reactions.
