Auburn extended an offer to Jamari Nicks when he visited the Tigers on Saturday.

Nicks is a 2028 prospect, and he attends Winterboro High School in Alabama. He is also one of the most dynamic athletes in the country with the ability to play running back, wide receiver or defensive back at the next level. He holds previous offers from Arkansas, Miami and others.

The junior said he thinks Alex Golesh has the Tigers moving in a positive direction after receiving the offer.

"I think they are heading in a good direction with the talent they are bringing in there no doubt," Nicks said.

The in-state recruit got to experience the energetic environment in Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday night when the Tigers took on the Florida Gators.

"I love the environment," Nicks told Touchdown Auburn. "Jordan-Hare is electric on game day, from the fans to the recruits. Everyone is tuned in to the game."

At 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds, Nicks is an explosive runner of the football, and he could very well be a running back at the next level. He is also a threat at wide receiver.
