A few days ago we reported "there's a chance 5-star Alabama offensive tackle commit Alex Leatherwood of Pensacola (Fla.) Washington could officially visit Auburn this week."

Now, we can confirm it's happening.

The 6-feet-6, 327-pound Leatherwood will officially visit the Tigers on Wednesday through Friday. He will then travel to Florida for his final official.

Leatherwood is an early enrollee.

Most think Leatherwood is solid to the Tide with Florida second, but when you get someone on campus anything is possible. One thing helping Auburn: He's good friends with Tigers offensive guard commit Nick Brahms of Navarre (Fla.).

Leatherwood is expected to arrive at around 6 p.m. CT.

He attended a game at Auburn this fall.
