Auburn Tiger head football coach Gene Chizik paid a visit to  Escambia County High School in Atmore Friday morning to visit with a small group of fans and a future Tiger defensive tackle.

Escambia County Blue Devil Tyler Nero has verbally committed to play at Auburn this fall. He chose Auburn over Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Clemson, Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky and others, according to Rivals.com.

Chizik  led the Auburn Tigers to the 2010  BCS National Championship.

    Congrats! Does the heart good to see a local boy achieving such a high goal. Very proud of him. Uh-oh….I may have to become an Auburn fan instead of an Alabama one.
