Yes, I'm Zach Blackerby.

He is Brian Smith of the portal, Lockdown's Recruiting, Transfer Portal, and NIL podcast.

Let's, I mean, the guy that pops up anytime you pull up any sort of Auburn recruiting news right now is Gary Chapman,

Jr. Brian, when we last spoke, he was committed to Wake Forest. He was Wake Forest as quarterback

in the class of 2027. He has since decommitted. And now there's crystal balls coming in,

competition and your geographic impact. And this is one where like, okay, we all can turn on his highlights,

pull up his 247 page, watch his huddle film. Yeah, this guy makes play after play after play with his legs,

with his arm from the pocket, from outside the pocket,
