The good news: Auburn has arguably the best set of offensive line commits in the nation currently committed to its 2017 recruiting class. The bad news: Elite guard prospect Nick Brahms has reportedly broken his leg and torn up ligaments in his leg.
According to Brahms, he injured his leg in a drill while training for the upcoming season.
“Someone fell on it from the side and I broke my fibula and tore a few ligaments,” Brahms said, according to Josh Hyber of Northwest Florida Daily News. “I’m not sure how long I’ll be out.”
A four-star prospect, Brahms is currently rated as the No. 3 offensive guard prospect in the nation and the No. 68 overall recruit in the nation according to 247Sports. The Tigers also have commits from five-star tackle prospect Calvin Ashley and four-star offensive tackle Austin Troxell, Alabama’s No. 2 prospect for the 2017 recruiting cycle.
