Over the weekend, 4-star linebacker Herbert Scroggins took his first visit to the Plains, and he's already scheduled a return trip. Out of Benedictine Military School in Savannah, Georgia — the same school current Auburn QB Holden Geriner played at — Scroggins got to take in a spring practice session and meet with the coaching staff.
"They’re one of my top schools for sure man," Scroggins said, per Auburn Rivals. "Just the communication, everything they do."
The linebacker's official visit is set for September 6-8, when the Tigers host California in Jordan-Hare Stadium. There are several other schools in the mix for Scroggins, but he hopes to make a final decision this fall after his official visits.
