A Rising Talent in the Heart of Alabama
Auburn University has extended a scholarship offer to Sam Sollie, a 6‑foot‑3, 180‑pound quarterback from Gadsden City High School, for the class of 2028. The three‑star prospect announced the news on social media, marking the latest addition to the Tigers’ early recruiting efforts.
During his junior season, Sollie completed 54 percent of his passes for 1,318 yards and 13 touchdowns while throwing just one interception. His efficiency and poise under pressure have drawn praise from local coaches and have positioned him as the No. 19 quarterback in Alabama and No. 66 nationally among his peer group.
The offer places Sollie among a select group of quarterbacks targeted by the program. He becomes the 16th signal‑caller to receive a commitment from Auburn for the 2028 cycle, joining other notable prospects such as four‑star Kingston Preyear, who is also being courted by several Power Five schools.
Sollie’s recruitment reflects Auburn’s strategy of securing talent early, giving the coaching staff ample time to develop players within their system. The Tigers’ ability to attract top in‑state and regional prospects underscores the program’s growing appeal in the SEC landscape.
Beyond the numbers, Sollie’s leadership on the field and his academic focus make him a strong fit for the university’s culture. As he continues to develop, the coaching staff believes he could become a cornerstone of the offense in the years to come.
