Auburn football: 2 schools to beat for the Lamar Seymore flip

While the Auburn football coaching staff has been working hard to secure the commitments of top prospects from all over the country in the recruiting class of 2023, they also have not yet given up hope on those prospects that have already verbally committed to other schools.

The Tigers are furiously pursuing two Georgia commits in offensive lineman Ryqueeze McElderry and offensive tackle Bo Hughley, Alabama cornerback commit Jahlil Hurley, and UCF edge commit Isaiah Nixon, just to name a few.

One committed prospect that Auburn football may be gaining traction with is Lamar Seymore, a wide receiver currently committed to Miami. However, following a visit to the Plains earlier this year in March, the Tigers became a real factor in Seymore’s recruiting process, and the WR has plans to get back to campus for a game in September, per 247 Sports:

"“It was good,” Seymore said of his time at Auburn. “I loved it. They took me around the facilities. We went to the stadium. It was huge. I’m going to be back for the Penn State game.”"

However, Auburn is not the only program trying to pull off a flip when it comes to Lamar Seymore. In fact, one of the Tigers’ biggest competitors in his recruitment could end up being former head coach Gus Malzahn and UCF, where Seymore will take an official visit the weekend of June 3.

In addition to UCF, Penn State is also sneaking into Seymore’s recruitment as of late. Seymore said that Coach Ja’Juan Seider “is like family” and that he has been pushing the WR hard to get up to State College for a visit.

While Seymore’s interest is being piqued by other programs, he remains firmly committed to Miami–where his brother currently plays football–for the time being, but anything could happen after getting a closer look at other programs.
