Auburn lands commitment from top JUCO offensive lineman out of Germany
The Auburn Tigers are rebuilding along the offensive line. There will be some interesting players stepping into key positions in 2019.
For 2020, though, the Tigers are adding a big piece from the JUCO ranks. On Monday, the top JUCO offensive tackle announced his commitment to Auburn.
As you can see below, 3-star OT Kilian Zierer — a native of Germany — tweeted that he’d be heading to Auburn next fall:

Per the 247Sports rankings, Zierer is the No. 1 JUCO offensive tackle in the class of 2020 and the No. 2 overall JUCO prospect from Germany.
Auburn now has 14 players in its 2020 recruiting class. Prior to Zierer’s commitment, that class ranked No. 14 in the country and No. 6 in the SEC, per 247Sports.

I’m a little confused by your wording. Auburn returns everyone on the offensive line in 2019…no rebuilding. There is no one stepping into any position on the offensive line. 2020 however, will be a complete rebuild…starting with this stud.
Yep, the author has no clue what he is talking about. Five returning senior starters is rebuilding? Hack city…
