JaBarrius "Chicken" Garror, a 4-star outside linebacker who is currently committed to the University of Alabama, has scheduled an official visit to Auburn University. This is a significant development as Garror is one of the top defensive prospects in the 2026 recruiting class.

Why it matters

Flipping a commitment from a rival school is always a major priority for college football programs. Auburn will be looking to use this official visit as an opportunity to sway Garror away from his current Alabama pledge and get him to join the Tigers' 2026 recruiting class instead.

The details

Garror, who is known by the nickname "Chicken", is ranked as the No. 4 outside linebacker and the No. 47 overall prospect in the 2026 class according to the On3 Consensus. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound defender has been committed to Alabama since last summer, but Auburn is now getting a chance to host him on an official visit.

  • Garror has scheduled his official visit to Auburn for the weekend of February 19, 2026.

What’s next

After his official visit to Auburn, Garror will have to decide whether he wants to stick with his Alabama commitment or flip to the Tigers. Auburn will be pulling out all the stops to try to flip the top linebacker prospect.

The takeaway

This high-profile official visit shows the intense recruiting battle between Alabama and Auburn for top in-state talent. Flipping Garror would be a major coup for the Tigers and a significant blow to their rival Crimson Tide.
