Snow College (Ephraim, Utah) offensive tackle Garett Bolles wants to see what all the fuss is about at Auburn.
He's heard enough from longtime family friend and Auburn fullback Chandler Cox.
"I'm ready to see it for myself," Bolles said.
Bolles, 6-foot-6 and 305 pounds, will have the opportunity later this month. The junior college tackle will be in Auburn for the first time.
"I'm coming to Auburn on May 29," Bolles said. "I'm excited to see Chandler and have him show me everything."
Cox isn't Bolles' only source of Auburn info. He speaks regularly with offensive line coach J.B. Grimes, offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee and coach Gus Malzahn.
"I talk to all three of them every week," Bolles said. "I'm looking forward to going down there and continuing to build relationships with them. They say are low on tackles and they want me to come in and be an impact for them."
It's an option Bolles is seriously considering.
"Auburn is a great school and a great opportunity for me," he said. "It's a championship contender every year and they need tackles. I love everything about it so far, especially the coaches.
"I'm looking forward to going down there and meeting the people, seeing what it's like at Auburn and hopefully come back home loving it."
When Bolles arrives in Auburn, he will be coming fresh off a visit to Alabama. He'll be in Tuscaloosa on May 27.
"I'm looking forward to visiting both of them," Bolles said. "I love them both. They are both great programs. It's a great opportunity to be recruited by two national championship contenders."
Bolles has offers from Auburn and Alabama, as well as Arkansas, Arizona State, BYU, Florida State, Oregon, Utah Kansas State, Missouri and Nebraska, among others. He previously was committed to in-state BYU.
"I'm not committed anymore," Bolles said. "I've opened things up. I don't really have a group of schools right now. I'm just enjoying the process, taking it all in and leaving things open."
Bolles, who turns 23 on May 27, is scheduled to graduate from Snow College in the spring with three years to play two.
