DeAndre Carter, a class of 2024 4-star offensive lineman, announced his commitment to Auburn on Sunday after Auburn’s win over UMass.

Carter was among Auburn’s top offensive line targets in this recruiting cycle and he is the first offensive lineman in the team’s 2024 class. At 6-foot-4, 340 pounds, Carter played left tackle at national powerhouse Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California.

But experts anticipate Carter will move and play on the interior in college. 247Sports ranks him as the nation’s best interior offensive line prospect. And at Mater Dei, Carter has already faced some of the top high school defenders in the country.

Overall, 247Sports ranks him as the 55th-best player in the 2024 class.

Carter was on The Plains at Big Cat Weekend and watched as Auburn built recruiting momentum with 5-star wide receiver Perry Thompson’s poolside commitment to Auburn. Carter seemed to enjoy his visit to Auburn and received multiple “Crystal Ball” predictions for an Auburn commitment as the weekend came to a close.

Though his recruitment process to Auburn has all happened rather quickly. It hasn’t even been two months since Auburn offered Carter a scholarship. Carter took an official visit to Auburn on June 16 and was back on campus again for Big Cat Weekend on July 29.
