Auburn has landed a big fish.

On Saturday afternoon, 4-star offensive tackle Austin Troxell of Madison Academy (Ala.) committed to the Tigers during a visit to the school.

The 6-feet-7, 330-pound Troxell is the No. 2 recruit in the state of Alabama according to the 247 Sports Composite.

He becomes commitment No. 9 for Auburn.

Auburn was the first program to offer Troxell, doing so during his sophomore year.

He picked the Tigers over Alabama, the school he grew up rooting for.

With Troxell's commitment, Auburn jumped from No. 31 to No. 17 in the recruiting team rankings.

"It was just the fit here," Troxell told AuburnUndercover. "The atmosphere. Fits me personality wise. The coaches, the players ... it just fits me the best."

According to Troxell, his recruitment is over.

Only one school will get an official visit.

"Auburn -- that's it." Troxell said.

Auburn assistant Tim Horton was Troxell's lead recruiter. Offensive line coach Herb Hand was also instrumental.

"He's great," Troxell said of Hand. "High-energy guy. I've got a good relationship with him. I haven't known him that long but I've got a good relationship right now. And it's only going to get better."

According to Troxell, he knew Auburn was the place for him when he visited for Big Cat Weekend two weeks earlier.

He told the coaches, including Gus Malzahn, Saturday. He was joined by his entire family.

"The staff is all excited," Troxell said. "They said thanks for believing in them. I believe in their system and as coaches."

He added one more thing ...

"I'm all in," Troxell said.

Big caCat was the day for me
