With Auburn's 2018 recruiting class signed and in the books, it's time to get familiar with a new batch of prospects. Over the next several days, AL.com will provide position-by-position look at Auburn's top targets in the 2019 recruiting cycle. Today, we're analyzing the tight end/H-back position.
TOP TIGHT END/H-BACK TARGET
Hudson Henry (6-foot-5, 225 pounds, Little Rock, Ark.)
Henry, a product of Pulaski Academy in Arkansas, is rated as the No. 1 tight end in the 2019 class, the top player in Arkansas and the No. 43 recruit in the country. The four-star prospect holds 19 offers, with Arkansas and Notre Dame the early favorites. Auburn offered him back in December, shortly after Gus Malzahn said during the early signing period that the Tigers were in need of a "big-time" tight end.
2 MORE TO WATCH
Luke Deal (6-foot-5, 230 pounds, Greenwood, S.C.)
Deal isn't rated in the 247Sports Composite rankings, yet, but he is ranked as a four-star prospect by 247Sports, which lists him as the nation's No. 14 tight end. Deal was offered by Auburn last month, and he also holds offers from Georgia, N.C. State, Notre Dame, Maryland and others.
Sean Brown (6-foot-5, 230 pounds, Rome, Ga.)
Brown had yet to receive an offer from Auburn, until Wednesday, that is. The three-star recruit was on campus earlier this month for the Tigers' junior day. He's rated as the No. 34 tight end in the 2019 class and the No. 92 player in Georgia. He currently holds offers from 11 programs, including SEC East teams Tennessee and Kentucky, as well as the likes of N.C. State and Troy.
IN-STATE GLANCE
Three-star Etowah prospect Jamin Graham is listed as a defensive end in the 247Sports Composite rankings, but Auburn coaches like the 6-foot-6, 218-pounder at tight end. He visited campus for junior day earlier this month, and while he doesn't yet have an offer from Auburn, he holds offers from Mississippi State, Ole Miss, South Carolina and six other programs.
