Oladele signed with Auburn in December and Jibunor will sign with Auburn on Wednesday. It appears Auburn will add one more defensive end with Johnson being the best bet. The versatile lineman will decide between Auburn and Florida Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. CT. All signs point to Johnson choosing Auburn.

Langham will announce his decision Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. CT. Although he visited Auburn Feb. 2-4, Alabama remains the team to beat. The Tigers could make a late move on the Tide, but it will be difficult.

Tannor appeared to be leaning heavily toward Auburn after a visit Jan. 26-28, but the Tigers have a rush end committed in Jibunor and apparently won't sign another. Tannor will announce his decision Wednesday at 7:45 a.m. CT. Florida appears to be the frontrunner.
