4-star DE commits to Auburn

AUBURN | Champagnat Catholic defensive end Kayode Oladele will sign with Auburn.

The four-star recruit from Hialeah, Fla., announced his decision Sunday following an official visit.

"I committed because this feels like home to me. This feels like family," Oladele said. "Every time I'm down here it's really nice. The environment is something I can see myself fitting in, the football program is something I can see myself fitting in and the school is something I can see myself getting my education at."

Oladele, who is ranked the No. 22 defensive end in the 2018 class, chose Auburn over offers from Miami, Ole Miss, Florida State, Georgia and Tennessee, among others.

Oladele took official visits to Ole Miss and Tennessee before his trip this weekend to Auburn. Oladele's official visit was his fourth visit to Auburn. He also camped at Auburn in the summer and returned for two games in the fall, the Georgia and Alabama games.

"I took a visit a couple weeks ago, and it feels different here. I'll say that," Oladele said. "I just like it. I feel like this is the best decision for me right now."

Oladele is the 20th commitment in Auburn's 2018 class and second defensive end. He could sign with the Tigers on Wednesday and enroll in January.

"My decision is going to come about that Monday or Tuesday," Oladele said.
