It’s not often to see prospects from the DMV region choose Auburn, but 3-star linebacker Bryce Deas’ latest pledge merely serves to highlight the strength of the Tigers’ brand.
It’s also evidence of the developments Hugh Freeze is making out on the plains.
This past weekend, Deas traveled to Auburn for a camp. He is from Baltimore, Maryland. The Tigers were not very familiar with him when he arrived, but he made an immediate impression on defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin, who made him an offer.
Auburn made me an offer, Deas said to On3. “Coach (D.J.) Durkin told me he wanted me even though he wasn’t sure where to put me. He informed me that I could play “will backer, starr” and that he simply knew I would play someplace.
“I was ecstatic. It has great significance. Since I found out I was coming down here, I had been hatching plans for it all week. Since I knew it would be hot down here, I had been preparing and drinking water.
Auburn is recruiting Deas as a “defensive athlete,” according to 247Sports, and he is ranked No. 26 in the 2025 class by On3. This implies that, depending on how he develops, Auburn might use him at safety or linebacker.
We’re talking about an outstanding athlete here since he plays running back and receiver for his high school squad. His vertical jump is 37.2 inches, his wingspan is 76 inches, and he can sprint the 40 in 4.53 seconds.
Regarding his athleticism, Deas told 247Sports, “I think it’s very valuable.” “I believe there is nothing on any down that I can’t do. any circumstance. I can play all downs, third and long, third and short. That is extremely helpful, in my opinion.
