Hugh Freeze and the Auburn coaching staff have added offensive linemen Tyler Johnson to the list of 2023 signees.

Johnson is the first offensive tackle of the group. He was previously committed to Texas Tech. Most outlets have him listed as a three-star.

He committed to the Tigers ten days ago on December 11th, becoming one of Hugh Freeze's first recruits at Auburn.

Johnson is listed at 6-foot-6, 300-pounds. He spent the last two days on Auburn's campus on an official visit. He liked what Auburn offered. He was also in Auburn for Big Cat weekend earlier this year.

The Natchitoches, Louisiana native drew a ton of interest from Texas Tech and Baylor. He also held offers from other Big 12 schools.

Auburn has struggled to land talented offensive tackles out of the high school ranks. Johnson will look to stop that trend and have a clear path to playing time early in his time with the Auburn Tigers.

He is one of four offensive linemen in Auburn's 2023 class, including Connor Lew, Bradyn Joiner, and Clay Wedin.
