Auburn football fans got a pleasant surprise this weekend with the news that four-star linebacker Jeffrey Holland decided to make the trip to campus for an unofficial visit, and even better is the fact that he brought a four-star high school teammate with him.
There is even speculation that Holland may have privately committed to Gus Malzahn and the coaching staff over the weekend.
However, there is still reason to be cautious. Holland visited Ole Miss last weekend, and is also considering Florida and UCLA (at least that’s what he said last week through Twitter – the Bruins don’t really seem to be in the mix).
The Gators are believed to be the top threat to Auburn, but Holland is close friends with CeCe Jefferson, who most analysts believe to be leaning towards the Rebels, and he and Holland visited Oxford together January 23.
