Auburn Football: Big Week for Tigers on Recruiting Trail

A true vertical threat that lacks great size and bulk, but is a candidate to play either outside or in the slot. Is equally adept at working against zone or man-to-man coverage. Is hard to handle one-on-one because he explodes off the line and gets on the defenders toes quickly and is explosive with his cuts into and out of breaks.

Has a nice feel for zone defenses when working out of the slot. Will settle and find soft spots and is very dangerous in space after the catch. Possesses big play flair and the speed to out run angles and fest corners to the endzone from anywhere on the field. Has quick hands and snags balls effortlessly on the move.

Does not lose much when adjusting to poorly thrown balls, is tough, will go up for the ball and has no fear across the middle of the field. Gets upfield immediately after the catch. He can break down defenders once in space and has great wiggle and quickness to make multiple defenders miss.

As mentioned, he isn't very big, may not have great redzone production or jump ball ability, but he is crafty and quick and he knows how to get open. Very good prospect and would be a nightmare in the spread in a Percy Harvin-type role.

Andre Harris, OG, Lovejoy, Ga. (#20 Guard by Scout.com)

6'4/320 (video)

**Harris is a "hulk" of an offensive lineman. He's tall enough at 6-foot-4, but a little too heavy at 330 pounds. Mammoth of a man that will crush you if you get in his way. A straight ahead guy that plays from a two-point stance.

When he gets locked on, he will take the defensive man on a ride. Uses hands but needs more punch. Agility work will help him in picking up line stunts. Plays a little too high in both the run and the pass game. Shows some ability pulling and trapping but is sometimes slow getting there.

Needs to work at finishing the play. Reach blocks with success most of the time; locks up and bulldozes downfield. Harris must lose weight and work on his flexibility in order to be a solid offensive guard. He is very powerful and could have success as a run blocker at the guard spot from a three-point stance.

Aaron Moore, OL, Frisco, Texas

6'5/260

Moore provides Auburn with an athletic offensive linemen who can play tackle, guard, or center. Auburn has targeted him as a center and that is the likely destination for him in college. He is extremely athletic playing both offensive line and defensive end in high school. He is also teammates with high profile quarterback recruit Ryan Mossakowski.
