Three-star TE Dillon Hipp praises Auburn coach Ben Aigamaua for genuine approach in recruiting
Auburn football's new coaching staff has worked wonders on the recruiting trail in just a matter of months.
It's a stark contrast from what was happening just an offseason ago.
Dillon Hipp, a three-star tight end out of Scottsdale, Arizona, sat down with college football recruiting analyst John Garcia Jr. to discuss some of the schools he was in contact with recently.
When asked about Ole Miss and Auburn, Hipp said that the two campuses and overall vibe were close.
"They're actually very similar," Hipp said. "With the college town aspect. Everybody there was very kind in that type of way. They just had the same type of vibe."
Hipp noted that while he didn't get to meet Coach Hugh Freeze in his recent conversations with the Tigers, but he did get to spend some time with his main contact - new tight ends coach Ben Aigamaua.
According to Hipp, Aigamaua is unique in the fact that he doesn't want to try and pressure Hipp into committing to the Tigers.
"With Coach Ben, he really shows a lot of effort," Hipp said. "He wants to earn an official from me, he doesn't wanna pressure me like a lot of schools tries to do, which just shows the type of coach he is. The contact he's had with me - he's sent me long messages that are personal, and have meant a lot to me."
The 6-6, 230-pound tight end is the No. 28 overall tight end in the 2024 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
