Will Muschamp's Nephew Robert Commits to Auburn, Will Be Walk-on

Auburn added another member to its 2015 recruiting class when 3-star linebacker Robert Muschamp committed to the Tigers, according to Justin Hokanson of AuburnUndercover.

The 6’2”, 225-pounder, who is the nephew of Tigers defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, will be a preferred walk-on at Auburn.

He will also move over to offense and play H-back, per Hokanson.

He chose the Tigers over scholarship offers from Air Force, Army, Central Arkansas and Wofford.

"My whole family, I've been a huge Auburn fan my whole life," Robert Muschamp told Hokanson. "I've always wanted to end up there. I think I would have went there even if he (Will Muschamp) wasn't a part of the program. It's my dream to play there."

According to Field Street Forum, Robert Muschamp—who played both tight end and linebacker at Darlington High School in Rome, Georgia—has good hands and the skill set necessary to be a good blocker at H-back.

His addition will help the Tigers—who lost their top two tight ends to graduation, and have 3-star Jalen Harris also committed—add depth to that position.

As Hokanson notes, Robert Muschamp was comfortable with the environment and position change after visiting with the Tigers coaching staff last summer.

"I've talked with Coach (Scott) Fountain,” Robert Muschamp explained to Hokanson. “I camped there last summer, I've talked to Coach (Tim) Horton, I wasn't sure what position I'd play and then I talked to Coach (Gus) Malzahn and he said the 3-back is where I'm best suited."

Playing on offense means Robert Muschamp—whose older brother Jordan is also a student at Auburn—will have to face his uncle’s defense on a daily basis.

However, he will now get the opportunity to play in the nation's toughest conference and help his dream school push forward in its quest to capture another national title.
