Auburn has added a graduate transfer offensive lineman.

Casey Dunn, who was a two-year starter at center for Jacksonville State, is transferring to Auburn for the 2017 season, Gus Malzahn announced Wednesday.

Dunn, who is 6-foot-3 and weighs 285 pounds, earned first-team all-Ohio Valley Conference honors and first-team All-America recognition from Walter Camp. He also earned second-team All-America honors from the Associated Press, STATS and the AFCA.

Dunn anchored the Gamecocks' offensive line that paved the way for the top offense and rushing offense in the OVC. JSU averaged 434 yards per game in 2016, including 250.6 yards rushing.

Dunn received a bachelor’s degree in applied manufacturing engineering from JSU in December 2016.
