Elijah Melendez commits to the Auburn Tigers, the former Miami commitment four-star linebacker

makes it official as far as his commitment goes, and he is now a part of this 2025 class.

Welcome on into Lockdown Auburn, this special quick emergency pod edition.

I'm your host, Zach Blackerby, joined by the Daryl Daprich, Montgomery Radio Legend.

Darrow, we've talked about this guy for months.

He'll hit the crap out of you.

He doesn't care about your feelings.

And he's an awesome addition to this 2025 class.

He is very, very coveted by this staff.

Yeah.

His nickname is Freak.

He is one of the most physical high school linebackers I've seen on tape in a long time.

I mean, I get it that there's some out there that are five stars, but this guy was very,

he was pursued heavily by schools like Alabama, Miami, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, for a reason.

And that's because he is so physical.

His physicality is already on the SEC level,

how it was described by one coach.

I remember people on your show talking about their only concern they had with him,

was he going to hurt himself before the season ended because he tackles so hard

knock himself out he is just one of those guys that you see come along at college programs

that when you're watching him it's hard to keep your eyes off of him because he's so physical

you notice him everywhere making very physical tackles and this is a great pickup for this linebacking class.
