Auburn and Florida need help at offensive tackle, and both schools are hoping to get some from the FCS ranks.
According to GridironNow.com, graduate transfer Tyler Catalina is considering both schools as well as Oregon. According to multiple outlets, he’s scheduled to visit Florida this weekend.
The 6-foot-6, 298-pounder was a three-year starter at Rhode Island before announcing his decision to transfer in December. Catalina played at both right and left tackle during his time with the Rams.
According to his Twitter feed, it looks like Missouri also offered Catalina.

Auburn goes into 2016 without both of its starting tackles from this season as Shon Coleman and Avery Young are turning pro. Meanwhile, the same can be said about Florida right tackle Mason Halter, also an FCS transfer.
Born and raised in Gainesville, Talal joined SDS in 2015 after spending 2 years in Bristol as an ESPN researcher. Previously, Talal worked at The Gainesville Sun.
