While Jarrett Stidham recently announced he would return to Auburn in 2018, the Tigers may have just secured the commitment of his eventual replacement.

Auburn landed a commitment from arguably the nation’s best quarterback prospect in the 2019 recruiting cycle by gaining a pledge from Pinson, Ala., native Bo Nix.

Nix is rated as a four-star prospect and the No. 2 dual-threat QB prospect in the nation by 247Sports Composite Rankings. He has offers from Alabama, Florida, Clemson and Ohio State among others.

Nix is now the second 2019 commitment for Auburn, joining four-star receiver George Pickens. One thing is for sure, this is a fantastic start to the next cycle for Gus Malzahn and the Tigers.
