AUBURN | Relationships are important to Andres Fox. They are what that the defensive end from Mobile Christian will consider most when making his college decision.

That could work in Auburn’s favor.

“I have the best bond you can have with them,” Fox said. “I have a long relationship with them and they were my first big offer.”

Fox on Saturday had another chance to build his bonds with the Auburn coaches. He was one of several recruits on campus for the Tigers’ second scrimmage of the spring.

Fox watched Auburn’s defensive line, as well as defensive line coach Rodney Garner. The recruit and coach also spent time together after the scrimmage.

“I loved (the scrimmage),” Fox said. “The d-line was active. ‘Coach G’ really pushed them hard. He’s going to push you to be the best player you can be; and he loves you at the end of the day.”

Garner is one of the reasons Auburn is among Fox’s favorites. The Tigers are joined in Fox’s top three by Alabama and LSU.

“They are all great schools,” Fox said.

Fox, who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 235 pounds, doesn’t plan to make a commitment anytime soon. He plans to take more visits, including another trip to Auburn next Saturday for the A-Day game.
