Michigan State 4-star OL commit Andrew Dennis earns Auburn offer, considering official visit
Auburn in September offered Andrew Dennis, a big offensive lineman from Mt. Pleasant, Mich. The Tigers do not typically recruit the state of Michigan, but offensive line coach Jake Thornton is making an exception.
“I had been talking to Coach Thornton,” Dennis said. “He first reached out and then it kind of progressed from there. He told me he liked my film a lot and decided to offer me.”
Dennis was happy with the offer. So were his parents. There’s a connection with Auburn and the Dennis family.
“My parents lived in Alabama when my dad was in the Army,” he said. “And when they lived there, they were big Auburn fans, so it’s definitely a cool offer for me and my family. My parents were pretty excited about the offer.”
Dennis has Auburn sources
Dennis has begun doing research on Auburn and Thornton. He has a good source in Dylan Senda, a former Dearborn (Mich.) standout who transferred to Auburn after signing with Northwestern.
“I met Dylan during the recruitment process and have talked to him about Auburn,” Dennis said. “He’s had nothing but good things to say.”
That goes for Thornton, too.
“Coach Thornton seems like a great coach,” he said. “I have talked to Dylan about him and he really likes Coach Thornton and Coach (Hugh) Freeze. I have heard nothing but good things about Auburn and about them.”
Good enough that Dennis now is considering a visit to Auburn.
“Nothing set in stone as of right now, but it’s definitely a possibility,” he said.
Still committed to Michigan State
Although Michigan State recently fired Mel Tucker and is in the process of hiring a replacement, Dennis said he remains committed to the Spartans.
“I’m still committed right now, but also looking at other possibilities,” he said.
Other schools under consideration are Auburn, Penn State, Purdue, Illinois, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Nebraska and Georgia Tech.
Dennis does not have any visits scheduled at this time.
The On3 Industry Ranking, which is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, ranks Dennis the No. 35 interior offensive lineman in the 2024 class. He also ranks the No. 7 overall recruit in Michigan and No. 393 in the country.
Dennis is listed at 6-foot-4 and 285 pounds.
