- Athens’ Spencer Dowland (74) blocks for teammate and quarterback Brogan Gross (12) during a game against Bob Jones.
Athens offensive lineman Spencer Dowland recently made his future intentions known and is committing to Auburn University.
The junior standout, who plays left tackle for the Golden Eagles, announced his decision on social media shortly after the Tigers’ season-opening win over UMass.
The 6-6, 290-pound Dowland, a 3-star prospect ranked as the No. 40 offensive tackle in the country (Class of 2025) by 247Sports, chose Auburn over offers from Ole Miss, Florida State, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi State and others.
Dowland is now the third member of Auburn’s 2025 class, according to 247Sports, joining Highland Home’s Jakaleb Faulk and Opelika’s Malik Autry.
