Auburn’s 2024 Offensive Line Targets: Who’s Next?

With DeAndre Carter becoming Auburn's first offensive lineman of 2024, who could follow him?

DeAndre Carter committed to the Auburn Tigers this past Sunday and became the first offensive lineman of the 2024 recruiting class. He is ranked #1 amongst all the inside offensive linemen in the ’24 class. With his commitment, people ask who the next offensive lineman will be to join the Auburn Tigers.

Here are some names you should be looking out for.

Favour Edwin (6’8”, 300)

Favour Edwin is a three-star tackle from McDonough, Georgia, and gained an offer from Auburn on August 16th. He holds offers from Alabama, Florida, Georgia Tech, and West Virginia. Edwin would be a welcome addition to the class of 2024, bringing a massive frame and playing a position of need for the Tigers. Colton Hood, an Auburn cornerback, was his teammate at Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy. He has set his official visit for September 30th (Georgia vs. Auburn).

Navarro Schunke (6’6”, 300)

Navarro Schunke is a four-star IOL from Brandon Valley, South Dakota. He is ranked as the No.2 overall recruit in his state Auburn offered Schunke in early August. He holds offers from Tennessee, Kansas, Pitt, Kansas State, Illinois, and Nebraska. He is a 4x State Champion in wrestling. It looks like he is leaning toward Nebraska, but Auburn should find a way to gain his commitment with many of Auburn’s OL targets dwindling down.

Flip Watch?

T.J. Lockhart (6’6”, 365)

This three-star tackle from Winona, Mississippi is committed to the Mississippi State Bulldogs but is still being recruited by the Auburn Tigers. He seems fairly locked into the Bulldogs, but a flip isn’t impossible.

Jude Foster (6’4”, 295)

After a great conversation with @CoachThornton61. I am blessed to receive an offer from Auburn University. @samspiegs @On3Recruits @Rivals @AuburnFootball @CoachSaulsby_AD @RecruitLouisian pic.twitter.com/g9dQfWENHW

Jude Foster is a three-star offensive tackle committed to the University of Mississippi. He received an offer from Auburn on July 30th, two weeks after his commitment to Ole Miss. He is still being recruited by Auburn and could be a player who joins this class in December.

With Auburn only having one offensive lineman in the 2024 class, adding offensive linemen is needed. The portal is good for plugging holes on the roster, but Auburn needs to develop high school recruits into three-year starters on the offensive line.
