Tyrik Rollison, come on down ...

You're the next commitment to Auburn's 2009 recruiting class. So says AuburnSports.com

That's right, Rivals.com's No. 2-ranked dual threat quarterback committed Auburn today.

The Sulphur Springs, Texas, quarterback wrapped up his official visit to the Plains on Monday. He had narrowed his choices down to Kansas State and Auburn by that point.

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound quarterback threw for 4,729 yards and 51 touchdowns during his senior season. He added 1,094 yards on the ground with 14 more touchdowns, leading Sulphur Springs to the Texas Class 4A Division II state title.

Rollison’s commitment brings the Tigers’ 2009 class up to 22 members. He is the second quarterback of the class, joining Alabama Mr. Football Clint Moseley of Leroy High, who committed last week.

Rollison might have to make some academic strides to qualify yet, but this is still a big addition for a program that's been needing an answer at quarterback.

For those curious, here's his Web site. Check out that Mohawk!

Some rankings for you:
Rivals No. 2 dual threat quarterback
Rivals No. 9 recruit in Texas
Rivals No. 60 recruit overall nationally
Scout No. 11 quarterback overall

And finally, a little video. This is from the U.S. Army All-American game. He's the quarterback, in case you just started reading the blog entry at this point.

Is it me, or are we looking like Tampa with all of these QBs in camp. Of course, if Rollison has to prep then there's just a little less of a traffic jam at the position.

I'd say it's always better to have too many quarterbacks than not enough. Especially when you don't have a surefire starter for next season.

No doubt! I wholeheartedly agree. It'll be interesting going into spring practice. It'll be interesting what goes on with Todd if he's fully recovered. And I wonder how Trotter will play and Burns reacts to competing for the job.
