Cyrus Kouandjio, Sporting News Top 100 No. 1 overall player, was thought to be Alabama bound, like his brother Arie Kouandjio was already on the list Crimson Tide. But he pulled off the shocker of the national day of signing when he announced live on television that he would sign his letter of intent with Auburn. Until an official visit in late January, it was not Auburn on his short list of schools.
Cyrus Kouandjio (pronounced joe-Kwande), a 6-foot-7, 320 pounds of offensive linemen DeMatha would have reduced his choices to Alabama, Auburn, Iowa, Miami, New Mexico and USC. And no, it’s not a typo. New Mexico, a program and winning only two games over the past two seasons, remains one of his first choices.
The native of West Africa, who moved to the United States at the age of 4 years, said on several sites it is not leaning toward a school, but one would think should be high on Alabama his list because the brother Arie is a rookie offensive lineman for the Crimson Tide.

Literally and figuratively, it would be the biggest signing in the history of Iowa.

The other two schools are considering Kouandjio teams that have won the last two national championships – Alabama and Auburn. His older brother, Arie, plays for Alabama. He recently visited Auburn the weekend and it is not uncommon for players to sign with the last place they visited. Although Kouandjio insists he is not deterred by the weather in Iowa, he suggested again that he would play in a college where the weather is hot.
