The Auburn Tigers have been working hard to bolster their 2027 recruiting class, resulting in the pickup of six top commits, including the latest: three-star quarterback Gary Chatman Jr. Now, the Tigers have a chance to land a recruit on the other side of the ball in Loia Valade. Valade is a three-star safety prospect who hails from West Boca Raton, Florida. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound prospect is currently rated as the 48th-best safety in the 2027 class as well as the 44th-best in-class player from the state of Florida. Valade earned an offer from the Tigers on Thursday, and Auburn Tigers on SI caught up with him after to talk all things Auburn, including his interest in the Tigers. “It was a great feeling when coach Banks offered me, to be honest,” he said. “This is one of the schools I was hoping to get… I’d say Auburn is definitely in my top eight right now.” AGTG!! After a great conversation with @CoachTimBanks and @BroskoDASH_5 I am blessed to receive another offer from @AuburnFootball .…
