Garden City (Kan.) Community College offensive tackle Dontavius Blair already held offers from some of the nation's elite programs.


Dontavius Blair received an Auburn offer on Saturday.
But Blair, a four-star prospect, continued to wait patiently for an Auburn offer.

Blair and the Tigers' coaching staff had spoken periodically over the last three months. On Saturday, Blair finally received an offer from Auburn after speaking with Tigers' offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee.

"I knew it was coming, but I didn't know when. They told me they wanted to offer me so I'm excited," Blair told AuburnSports.com.

"I feel like God is working -- everything I've wanted has come along. It's an offer I've dreamed about."

Auburn now joins Arkansas, Florida State, Georgia, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, USC, Tennessee and more that have offered the 6-foot-8, 300-pound Blair.

"I don't have a leader," Blair said. "I haven't taken any official visits, Auburn will be my first. But I'll take some visits this fall and then we'll see."

Blair is tentatively scheduled to officially visit Auburn on July 20. He's already visited Tennessee this year.

"I've never been to Auburn," said Blair. "It's a great program, it's Auburn. I'll go down there and see what it's like. I'll check out playing time and all that stuff."

Blair attended Anniston High School (Ala.) before heading to Garden City to continue his football career. Blair played left tackle last fall, blocking for new Tigers' quarterback Nick Marshall.

Blair plans to graduate in December and enroll at the college of his choosing in January.

Blair doesn't plan a decision until November.

Sounds like an Auburn lock all of a sudden. I know it's not over yet but if he is a tiger and mavety is a buckeye then would there be any other Juco OTs worthy of taking Tiny's spot if/when he leaves for the 2014 NFL draft? Hopefully we get someone to fill in at LT. Otherwise we may be in some trouble.

His qb playing there sounds like it could seal the deal

Anyone would want to visit first to make sure the coaches aren't Dooley Esq. This would pribably be his reasoning. Wouldnt shock me if he committed on his official to the Barn

Maybe a little synthetic maryjane since they wait 7 months after the season to test. Its also readily available according to Dakota Mosleys dAd and several of former players.

Easy to say, and possibly true. But it has only been proven to run rampant on the plains At Auburn University. Unfortunately, the NCAA is a joke of a governing body and has shown no consistency when doling out punishments.

I think we need AU to choke again. If we go bowling and they don't we'll win battles like this.
