Despite suffering a terrible leg injury in a basketball game earlier this month, Prince Tega Wanogho made it to Auburn over the weekend for an official visit. By all accounts, the visit went well – and apparently Prince Tega really liked Aubie… However, the Nigeria native may not make his final decision by February 4.

Because of the late decision to reclassify from the 2016 class to 2015, Prince Tega is expected to take a few more visits before he signs a national letter of intent. He already made an official visits to LSU and Tennessee, and is expected to visit South Carolina among others as well.
Prince Tega has tremendous upside because of his massive size and extremely limited football background (he first played football in August). He projects as a defensive end, but also played some tight end in high school and could grow into an offensive lineman.
Auburn is the odds on favorite to sign the Edgewood Academy star, but because he is likely a few weeks from a final decision, there is plenty of time for someone else to swoop in and grab him.
Previous Odds to Sign With Auburn: 65%
New Odds to Sign With Auburn: 70%
UPDATE: Prince Tega has committed to Auburn and will sign with the Tigers February 4.
