Fourth visit for No. 2 OT

AUBURN | Daniel Calhoun is rated the nation’s No. 2 offensive tackle in the 2024 class. He’s already got close to 40 offers.

That’s a lot for a rising junior from Centennial in Roswell, Ga., but Calhoun is making sure to stay well grounded.

“It means a lot. All I can do is keep grinding,” he said.

Calhoun, 6-foot-6 and 349 pounds, plans to release a top 12 before the start of his junior season. Auburn, which he visited for a fourth time Saturday, has positioned itself well to make the cut.

“They’re up there. Their chances are really high,” said Calhoun, who mentioned Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Texas and Oklahoma as other schools likely to be included.

Calhoun enjoyed spending the day in Auburn with his family, especially the ribs that had for lunch.

“I like it,” said Calhoun. “There’s nice people here, really friendly. Great foot, great restaurants. I think this year is going to be a big turnaround year for them.”

AU offensive line coach Will Friend has been recruiting Calhoun since his freshman season and they spent a lot of time together Saturday touring the campus and going over game film.

“It was fun,” said Calhoun. “Today, we really just watched film and technique and how I could get better. We’re really close.”

Calhoun toured the new Football Performance Facility, which is still under construction.

“Had to wear the hard hats and stuff like that,” he said. “It was tough. I liked it. It’s gonna be nice.”

Calhoun is rated a four-star and the nation’s No. 39 overall prospect in the 2024 class by Rivals.
