Overview
- Layvon von Brandt, a four-star offensive tackle from Middletown, Delaware, announced on a live Rivals YouTube broadcast that he is committing to Auburn over Notre Dame, Penn State and Tennessee.
- The pledge gives Auburn eight commitments in the 2027 cycle and adds to a haul Rivals ranked No. 25 nationally before this decision.
- Ranked the No. 5 offensive tackle and No. 75 overall by the Rivals Industry Rating, the former Penn State commit strengthens a premium position for Auburn’s future roster.
- Von Brandt said Auburn’s facilities, fan support, campus resources, fast offense under Coach Golesh, and his ties with Coach Hudanick and the offensive line staff drove his decision.
- Auburn had set a June 12 official visit for von Brandt, a plan that is now moot after his pledge.
