Blue chip corner considering his options

AUBURN — Four-star cornerback Mackensie Alexander was a late addition to Auburn’s official visits this weekend. The 5-11, 180-pound Alexander did not speak with reporters when he ended his visit but later spoke to recruiting website Auburn Undercover.

“It was a good visit. I enjoyed it,” Alexander told Auburn Undercover. “Great people. It was a great experience for me to be here. I chose to come here and I was really impressed.

“I just have to go home and think about things now.”

Alexander, the No. 4-ranked corner in the nation by 247Sports and No. 7 by Rivals and Scout, de-committed from Tennessee and was supposed to visit Rutgers this weekend.

He also had made stops at Mississippi State, Clemson and Texas A&M. Auburn cornerbacks coach Melvin Smith and safeties coach Charlie Harbison each recruited Alexander at MSU and Clemson respectively.

A U.S. Army All-American, Alexander has made it known he wishes to play with his brother, Mackenro, three-star safety in college. Mackenro Alexander did not visit Auburn this weekend but may visit next weekend, according to Auburn Undercover.

Mackensie told the website he doesn’t plan to announce his decision until signing day, Feb. 6, and that Auburn is in the running.
