With spring football over, Auburn's coaching staff is back out on the recruiting trail in hopes of persuading top prospects to join the Tigers. The good thing is that their efforts appear to be working. Right now, out of Rivals' top five prospects, three are considering the Tigers. Let's meet these fine prospects who might one day call Jordan-Hare Stadium home.

Lache Seastrunk: Seastrunk is a 5-foot-11, 192-pound running back from Temple, Texas, who falls in at number two on the Rivals 100. He benches 250 pounds, squats 500 pounds, possesses a 35-inch vertical leap, and reportedly runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds.

Beyond that, he's rushed for 3,073 yards and 33 touchdowns over the past two seasons combined. Not hard to see why he's ranked so highly, is it?

Darius White: This 6-4, 205-pound wide receiver from Fort Worth is No. 3 on the Rivals 100. In addition to reported 4.5 speed, he has a 40-inch vertical jump. Imagine jumping ability like that plus 6-4 height in the red zone.

Over the past two seasons combined, White has managed 1,802 yards receiving and 27 touchdowns.

Marcus Lattimore: This 5-11, 210-pound RB from Duncan, S.C., is fourth on the Rivals 100. Auburn is one of three schools that he is demonstrating a high level of interest in, with the other two being Florida State and Georgia.

Lattimore runs the 40 in 4.6, benches 270 pounds, squats 440 pounds, and has a 32-inch vertical. That plus the 2,303 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns he put up as a junior should have Auburn fans salivating.
