Auburn fell short in the recruitment of running back target Master Teague III, as the three-star recruit from Murfreesboro, Tenn., committed to Ohio State on Sunday.

Teague's four finalists were Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia and Ohio State. Ohio State offered late last week, after he had announced a top three of Auburn, Tennessee and Georgia.

Teague made multiple trips to Auburn this spring, but the Buckeyes were able to get the 5-foot-10, 210-pound back.

Auburn has a commitment from all-purpose back Shaun Shivers of Hollywood, Fla., but is targeting a between-the-tackles back as well.

Austin High four-star Asa Martin is a top target who recently visited for Big Cat Weekend. He is regarded as the top pure running back in the state.

Bainbridge, Ga., four-star Dameon Pierce, a former Alabama commit, visited Auburn on Saturday, per 247Sports.

Madison County running back Tae Provens and Mountain Brook four-star Harold Joiner also have Auburn offers, but could play different positions at the next level.
