The "Golden Child" is picking between ND and Auburn.

If it was going to be Auburn, wouldn't he be the War Child?

272 Tkls / 34 TFLs and 5 SKs combined in his FR/SO seasons. Even played Varsity as an 8th grader and Williamson is one of the better 5A programs (Out of 7A) in AL.

Would love to grab this kid out of Auburn and Alabama's back yard!!!

Loy just said Mcgaskin has sent in his commitment info.

In Loy code of course.

He was on campus for Irish Invasion, but didn’t compete. But basically was with Bullough hip-to-hip for most of the camp. They really hit it off.

I’d be surprised if it was ND this early considering the relationship with the staff doesn’t have the same longevity in contrast to Auburn.

Did you read my post in the 2027 thread a couple days ago?

Yes

What out for him. You are on thr money

 

[arrowryan]

I only had to watch about 2 minutes of his highlights. He’s a good one.

Straughan just rips stuff from the boards and tries to act as if he knows stuff

Yeah, dude needs to stop.
He ruins kids’ moments.
A few days ago when someone mentioned McGaskin, I just said, “pay REAL close attention to this kid” but didn’t say anything else.

 

[BobbyMac]

Not sure how he's ruining someone's moment by THAT tweet... especially if he doesn't know anything.

In this case, anyone paying attention would guess ND since all the news coming in on him is ND related after his recent visit, his quick announcement of a pending commitment and the addition of "Golden Child" to his X profile.

 

[ulukinatme]

The comments in that thread are like...100 Irish fans replying, two Nebraska fans, and one sorry skunkbear I don't think I saw any Auburn fans.

Have you become our Dillon?

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

Keep the excitement going.

 

[ND7983]

This kid’s film is legit.
It’s just sophomore film & he’s just 15 years old in it.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Kid is elite going after the QB lining up on the line.

 

[arrowryan]

Seems like zero build up for this from the ND sites. Kinda weird.

Because the kid asked them all to keep it quiet.
That’s why I said I don’t like that one guy going all over Twitter about it.
If a kid is announcing, and On3, 247, ISD, IB, Rivals, all say nothing about it, it’s because the kid asked them not to.
What happened, happened, days ago. The sites all know.
That’s why I mentioned to pay attention to him. At that time, I didn’t know when he was going public.

I get that. But not even an article on 247 that goes over his finalists. Just kinda weird.

I don’t think anyone saw it coming, so when it happened, there was no time for buildup.
And I don’t think he ever did a top 5 or 3 or whatever, so not sure who they would even preview?

I thought Auburn was in on him but maybe I’m wrong

 

[ND7983]

According to his profile, he only visited ND once.
He went to FSU the most.
Then Auburn & LSU.

Sounds like this could be very unexpected. He is class of '27 so maybe some question if this commitment will stick.
