I'm your host, Black, I'm here.

Thank you so much for making Lockdown Auburn, your first listen every single day.

0:29.2

Joining me on this very important day for Auburn football recruiting, Brian Smith,

0:33.8

host of the portal.

0:34.8

That's Lockdown's Recruiting, Transfer Portal, NIL show.

0:37.7

We'll talk about fall camp right on the horizon.

0:40.8

It's so close.

0:41.7

We can almost feel it as well as another commit who is our potential commit.

0:47.7

I recruit this committing soon somewhere.

0:50.3

Hopefully it's the Auburn Tigers, but it's decision day for Gilles, Wilkes,

0:54.5

a guy who we've been talking about for so stinking long, Brian, a guy, an in-state product who's

1:02.3

very, very talented. He's going to play somewhere on somebody's front seven, and he's probably

1:08.0

He's 240-some pounds right now from what I've heard. I don't know what he's listed on 24-7, but the person I talked to knows the family, so I'll go with them. And he's a kid that has played basketball throughout his high school career. So we knew he was going to gain weight soon as hoops was done. He's got one more year of prep football left.

So this kind of kid that you have to keep in state if you're going to win games. They don't build a lot of guys like Wilkes. So it would be a very nice pickup for the Tigers. Yeah, 247 has him at 6-4-220, but you talked to him recently and he's weighing a lot more than that, right? Yeah, he's like 245, 250, someone at range.

2:02.4

Which makes more sense as far as the conversation we're having, as far as him developing

2:05.9

into, you know, a guy who could rush the pastor and take on offensive tackles every single

2:10.9

down at the next level.

2:12.5

That seems to make a lot more sense.

2:15.5

And also just shows how much weight his frame could potentially carry if there's that much
