One of Auburn‘s top offensive line targets for the 2027 recruiting cycle is inching closer to making a decision.

Layton von Brandt, a four-star offensive tackle from Middletown, Delaware, included Auburn in his top four choices earlier this month and is now ready to nail down a decision. von Brandt will announce his college commitment on Monday, May 18, at 8 a.m. CT on Rivals’ official YouTube Channel, where he will choose between Auburn, Florida, Penn State, and Notre Dame.

Auburn’s coaching staff connected with von Brandt well during a recent visit to the Plains, and von Brandt was impressed with Auburn’s facilities. Will that be enough to sway him to join the Tigers’ 2027 recruiting class? According to the latest projections, Notre Dame is the team to beat with two Crystal Ball predictions from 247Sports and four predictions from Rivals insiders. However, if Auburn were to lose the battle for von Brandt on Monday, they will get another chance next month, as they are scheduled to host von Brandt for an official visit on June 12.

Auburn ranks No. 32 in 247Sports’ class of 2027 recruiting rankings ahead of von Brandt’s announced commitment. The Tigers received a boost in the rankings Sunday with the commitment of three-star linebacker Kareem Palmer.
