You may now take killer Jessel Curryoff the board of WVU “commitments” — and the word is totally acceptable in this instance.

Buford linebacker Jessel Curry, who weeks ago committed to West Virginia and then recanted, announced his commitment to Auburn today.

“I love the people,” Curry told AuburnSports.com. “Love the football that they play — big-time SEC. It’s just an amazing campus and amazing school.”

Curry, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound rising senior, changed his mind about West Virginia because “if I would have gone to West Virginia, my family would have had to drive a long way or flown to every game. I didn’t want to put that on them.”

A bit of a setback because the kid, I’m told, can really play, but not a surprise. Everyone I talked to thought he was iffy, at best, and smitten with the SEC. Seemed like if he got an offer elsewhere, he’d be gone.
