As noted here, DeMatha offensive lineman Cyrus Kouandjio ultimately decided to sign with Auburn, headlining a spectacular recruiting class for the defending national champions. Kouandjio is the number one offensive line recruit in the country and is in pretty much everyone's top five.
↵But Kouandjio's decision puts him in an interesting spot. Why? His brother, Arie, is a defensive offensive tackle for Alabama, Auburn's big rival. This fact was why many felt Cyrus would head to Alabama as well, and is why the Crimson Tide were the early leader for his services. Instead, Cyrus will play for Auburn, where he'll line up and potentially block his brother in key SEC games.
UPDATE: Our apologies, he is an offensive lineman.
↵What's his brother's thought on that?

↵My brother before I even played football so congrats bro. Make you pay for it later though lil bro ;). Much love!
