Reese Dismukes, a 6-foot-4, 287-pound Spanish Fort product, is one of Auburn's three early enrollees. Rivals and ESPN rank him as the No. 1 center in the country.

The heir apparent to Ryan Pugh, Dismukes is already enrolled in school to get a jump on next year by going through spring drills.

He's strong and has impressed scouts with his advanced technique and quickness. With few center prospects on the current roster, it wouldn't be shocking if he slid in and played right away.

Dismukes was named the Class 5A Lineman of the Year after helping Spanish Fort High win a state title.
