“I'm tired,” Harding said last week. “I'm glad it's over. It was back and forth every day.”

In addition to his already-established relationships with Auburn's coaches, who recruited him when they were at Arkansas State, the Tigers' three-safety defense was a huge draw.

“It's about getting a chance to get on the field as soon as possible and that defense is the best way to do it,” Harding said.

Wearing an Auburn shirt and hat to a recent Edmond Santa Fe basketball game, Harding is already versed in the Iron Bowl rivalry.

“I want to beat Alabama,” Harding said. “That's what I'm telling everybody I talk to about it. I can't wait.”
