The Auburn Tigers have once again landed a solid recruiting class, as all of the prognosticators regard them as one of the better classes in the SEC and in the country.

ESPN has them at No. 17 for the moment, whereas Rivals has them at No. 16. 

Breaking down three of your biggest and brightest future stars for Auburn, let us take a look at Avery Young, JaQuay Williams and Jonathan Wallace.

Avery Young, Offensive Tackle

Avery Young's commitment to Auburn as the eighth-rated offensive tackle per ESPN, ninth per Rivals and fifth per Scout will provide a ton of depth.

Scout says he still needs to develop some more strength and balance, but he has an athletic and large-framed body (6'5", 292-pounds) to grow into. 

The bottom line is that this kid is extremely quick off the ball, as he can extend his arms and lock you up with ease. He can move really well and block with the best of them while on the move.

Jaquay Williams, Wide Receiver

JaQuay Williams is listed as the No. 16 wide receiver according to Scout, No. 26 according to ESPN and No. 14 according to Rivals.

The kid has been compared to Anquan Boldin, with a ton of athleticism, size and body control. Coming to Auburn will bring a ton of excitement to the program, and it is only a matter of time before he has a breakthrough and sees the field.

Jonathan Wallace, Quarterback

Despite being just a 3-star recruit according to Rivals, Jonathan Wallace has the tools to become a successful quarterback.

Auburn has a new offensive coordinator in Scot Loeffler, who came over from Temple, but the players that Gene Chizik has been able to put around his recent quarterbacks have been impressive.

Certainly, the signal-caller has to put a certain amount of the responsibility on his own, but all great programs have solid players at every position and level of the field.

Wallace has shown to be a reliable duel-threat quarterback (4.83), but he has also proven to throw a solid ball as well.

War Eagle!
