AUBURN | Gerry Bohanon visited Auburn on Saturday, the Earle (Ark.) dual-threat quarterback’s third visit to the Plains.

Bohanon, his mother and younger brother arrived in Auburn Saturday morning and stayed until Sunday.

“I love it,” Bohanon said. “Auburn is nice. It’s a nice little city somewhat like where I’m from. It’s very family-oriented and I love the campus.”

Bohanon arrived in time to watch the Tigers scrimmage inside Jordan-Hare Stadium.

“They allowed the quarterbacks to make a lot of decisions on their own,” Bohanon said. “The quarterbacks sat back there and threw it, and also called some zone-reads so they could run it. The quarterbacks had to make decisions to put the team in the best situation possible.”

Bohanon would welcome the challenge. He likes to lead. Last season as a junior, Bohanon, who is 6-foot-3 and weighs 215 pounds, passed for 2,734 yards and 27 touchdowns, and rushed for 1,134 yards and 14 scores.

Auburn has offered him the opportunity to play quarterback, as have LSU, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Memphis. Arkansas is recruiting him as an athlete.

“Auburn wants me to come and play quarterback because I fit the style of offense they run,” Bohanon said. “They like that I can sit in the pocket and throw, and also make something happen if the play breaks down.”

Auburn has a commitment from Joey Gatewood, who is ranked the No. 7 dual-threat quarterback and No. 118 overall in the 2018 class.

It doesn’t matter to Bohanon.

“They said they are taking two (quarterbacks),” Bohanon said. “And the best one is going to win the job. I just want to compete. As long as I get an opportunity to compete, that’s all I can ask for.”

Bohanon will visit Tennessee on Saturday, and said he’ll visit LSU in late-April.

“I’ll also be back to Auburn, but I don’t know when,” Bohanon said. “Auburn is a top school.”

Bohanon, who is 6-foot-3 and weighs 215 pounds, plans to wait until after his senior season to announce his commitment.
