Auburn flips 4-star OL from Michigan State
Auburn found another piece of its 2023 recruiting class from the Big 10. Clay Wedin, a Florida offensive lineman who had committed to Michigan State, announced his flip to the Tigers on Friday.
Wedin is a four-star from Carrollwood (Fla.) Day and the 383rd-ranked prospect in the country, per 247Sports Composite. He’s the 11th member of Auburn’s recruiting class and the third offensive lineman.
Coaches Cadillac Williams, Joe Bernardi and Will Friend were the key relationship builders. Wedin was on the Plains for Auburn’s narrow loss to LSU, a follow-up from a trip in March. He saw enough on his latest trip to decommit from the Spartans on Oct. 10.
“They don’t just talk to you, they’re talking to you with some energy,” Wedin told AL.com this past spring. ” … It’s not just (the same recruiting pitch) copy and paste say it a million times over.”
Carrollwood Day went 7-3 last year with Wedin helping lead a run game that averaged 159.2 yards per game. He’s blocked for a top-10 running back in the 2024 class and Alabama target, Anthony ‘Scoota’ Carrie.
Wedin is listed at 6-foot-6, 295-pounds and projects as an interior offensive lineman like the Tigers’ other two verbal pledges in that group, Gernorris Wilson and Bradyn Joiner. Auburn’s class is now ranked 48th nationally and 12th in the SEC.
