The good folks at AuburnSports.com never rest. Word tonight is that Mansfield, Texas, defensive end Nosa Eguae has committed to Auburn for 2009.

Eguae, a 6-foot-3, 244-pound strongside end, visited Auburn from Jan. 16-18. At the time, I believe it was Dee Ford who said Eguae planned to commit.

He did after the Tigers' coaching staff made a fullcourt press with an in-home visit Monday to seal the deal, AuburnSports.com reported.

Eguae is ranked the No. 17 stronside defensive end in the country by Rivals. He originally committed to Colorado but re-opened his recruitment earlier this month. Auburn was a finalist, along with Texas Tech and Minnesota.
