2-sport star will officially visit Tuesday - 247Sports

Tre Donaldson of Tallahassee (Fla.) Florida State University School is one of the top two-sport athletes in the country.

Donaldson, who is 6-feet-2 and 190 pounds, is the No. 15 point guard and No. 85 recruit nationally in the industry generated 247Sports Composite. In football, he's the No. 18 safety in the country.

Playing both sports in college is an option he's strongly considering.

Auburn has offered Donaldson in each sport -- and Tuesday, he will officially visit the Tigers for basketball. But, he noted, "I am going to the football facilities, too."

Who is Auburn's main competition? Maybe Florida and Louisville. Those schools also are pursuing him in both sports. Florida State is another one to track.

Earlier this month, Donaldson unofficially visited the Gators and said this afterward: “Florida definitely still leads. Florida definitely separated themselves from everyone else this week.”

Translation -- the Tigers may have their work cut out.

But ... don't count them out. It must be noted, Donaldson grew up in a household with strong Auburn ties. His uncle -- Duke Donaldson -- once was a standout football player for the Tigers.

Auburn's previous football staff offered Donaldson in April of 2020. He told Auburn Undercover recently Tigers defensive coordinator and safeties coach Derek Mason re-offered him earlier this year.

"I talk to Coach Mason every week," Donaldson said. "He's taken his time to build a good relationship with me. With the new staff, I initially didn't hear much. But he made it a priority to talk to me basically almost every day. He asks me about other things besides football."

The Auburn basketball offer came May 24 from Auburn assistant Wes Flanigan. With one-time Auburn target (and probable Tigers lean) Scoot Henderson opting to play in the NBA G League over attending college, the Tigers remain in the market for a 2022 point guard -- and according to Donaldson he is high on their board.

"They told me I'm their No. 1 guy.," Donaldson said. That definitely means a lot to be their No. 1 guy at the point guard position."
