Alabama commit Sterling Dixon is taking a close look at Auburn
In this story:
Mobile Christian linebacker Sterling Dixon has been making waves in the college football recruiting world. Dixon, a four-star prospect, had committed to the University of Alabama, but his recent interest in Auburn has raised eyebrows among fans and analysts alike.
According to On3's Prediction Machine, Dixon is currently leaning towards Alabama with a 62.8% prediction rate, followed by Auburn at 34.5% and LSU at 1.4%. However, Dixon's recent visits to Auburn have indicated a legitimate interest in the program, with the linebacker reportedly saying that Auburn is making it difficult for him to sign with Alabama.
Dixon's interest in Auburn is a relatively recent development, as the school was not mentioned as a top contender in December and January. However, with Dixon's visits to the campus, Auburn has quickly become a strong contender for the linebacker's services.
Recruiting visits are crucial in the recruitment process, as they often serve as a gateway for change in a recruit's commitment. Dixon's interest in Auburn is noteworthy, as he has already committed to Alabama and is facing difficulty signing, despite it only being March. He cannot sign until December later this year.
The battle for Dixon's commitment is expected to be a closely-watched storyline in the coming months. While Auburn has been able to beat out coaches such as LSU's Brian Kelly, pulling Dixon away from Alabama and Nick Saban, would be a significant accomplishment for the Tigers.
For those who follow recruiting closely, the developments in Dixon's recruitment are set to provide ample theater in the coming months. Regardless of which program ultimately lands Dixon's commitment, the linebacker's recruitment serves as a reminder of the importance of recruiting visits and the unpredictable nature of the process.
