Elite 2017 defensive tackle prospect reveals new top 5; bond with Bama cold
Published:
One of the nation’s top defensive tackles in the Class of 2017 revealed a new top five list, which dropped one SEC team but still has three others.
Aubrey Solomon, the nation’s No. 7 defensive tackle prospect according to 247 Sports, told SEC Country that his top five (in order) is Ohio State, Florida State, Florida, Ole Miss and Georgia. Tennessee is no longer included.
The 6-foot-3, 305-pounder from Lee County High School (Leesburg, Ga.) initially had Georgia as his favorite, but the Bulldogs dropped to fifth after the school let go of coach Mark Richt.
“That just really threw me off,” Solomon said.
Solomon has also been offered by three additional SEC schools in Alabama, Auburn and Kentucky. However, Solomon — who was offered by Alabama back in April — has said the Tide hasn’t maintained a strong relationship with him since.
Solomon has the Buckeyes as his top school despite OSU offering him pretty recently on Dec. 7.
